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.

Great tour! I was wasn't sure what to expect on a tour like this but our guide Paula was very friendly and informative. I loved the history and stories about the darker side of New Orleans, most of which I heard for the first time during this tour. I would strongly recommend.

What made this tour so great was our guide whose name I don't remember : ( She was incredible knowing so many little extra tidbits making the experience more enjoyable. You definitely knew she was not talking fro a memorized script but had spent her own time researching everything and spoke with real interest in all she shared. We were 7 ladies and all of us felt it was a great experience. We passed other groups, some with more dramatic guides, we liked that ours did not embellish her stories with props and accents but spoke naturally and always answered our questions. Definitely recommend this tour and hope to take other tours with this company when we return to NO.

We had the most amazing time during our Garden District tour with New Orleans Top Tours. My wife and I used to live in the city for 4 years in the Garden district, and thought we knew all about it. We learned so much on the tour about the history and even celebrity homes and neighborhoods. I would highly recommend not only to tourists but also to residents who would love to learn more about their amazing city.
