What To Expect

Lalaurie Mansion

The Lalaurie Mansion is one of the most notoriously haunted mansions in New Orleans. At three stories high, it was described in 1928 as “the highest building for squares around”, with the result that “from the cupola on the roof one may look out over the Vieux Carré and see the Mississippi in its crescent before Jackson Square”. The owner, Madame LaLaurie, was a New Orleans Creole socialite and serial killer who tortured and murdered slaves in her household.

New Orleans Pharmacy Museum

New Orleans Pharmacy Museum showcases its extensive collection and provides educational programs on the history of pharmacy and health care. This museum has a large collection of apothecary jars containing their original ingredients, old wheelchairs, black leather physicians’ bags, medical instruments, eyeglasses, optical prosthetic devices, and surgical tools all displayed in hand-carved, glass-fronted cabinets.

Old Ursuline Convent Museum

The Ursulines have a long history in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. Arrival of the Ursulines in New Orleans, 1727 (19th century depiction)As early as 1726, King Louis XV of France decided that three Ursuline nuns from Rouen should go to New Orleans to establish a hospital for poor sick people and to provide education for young girls of wealthy families. The Old Ursuline Convent was built in 1745, the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley and once home to the Ursuline Nuns until 1824, as a convent, orphanage and school for girls.

Beauregard-Keyes House

The Beauregard-Keyes House is a historic residence located in the French Quarter. It is currently a museum focusing on some of the past residents of the house, most notably Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard and American author Frances Parkinson Keyes. The property where the house would be built was originally owned by Ursuline nuns, who sold off parcels of their land in 1825.

We were in near lean to the beginning of November had an excellent experience with our tour guide . His name is Bob. He was so detail about all the history of NewOrlens Histories were so detailed and entertaining . Bob was very funny, respectful and very helpful. He gave us tips on where to have good food.

it was at night and it was VERY LOUD during the entire tour. The cars on the street were playing really loud music and you could not hear the guide. the guide spoke soft and was not very enthusiastic about the material he was talking about.

We assure you our guides are all passionate about New Orleans and want to share the stories and history in a way that conveys the mystery of the city. Thank you again for your honest review and we hope you enjoy your time in New Orleans!

While our guide was very kind in comparison to other tours I feel perhaps additional training and presentation would be beneficial
