New Orleans Holiday Bus Tour: Jingling Through the Crescent

Overview

Give yourself a holiday treat with a fully narrated motor coach tour of New Orleans! You’ll pass the famous French Quarter and learn the history of Jackson Square, home to the Cabildo and Presbytere Museums.

Travel through historic neighborhoods such as Treme & Faubourg Marigny and down beautiful Esplanade Avenue.

Marvel at stories of voodoo and piracy on Bayou St. John, the waterway used by Jean Lafitte and his band of pirates, as we make our way to City Park, one of the ten largest urban parks in America, which features the largest stand of mature live oaks in the world.

Follow the path of our historic streetcars along Carrollton and St. Charles Avenues past Tulane and Loyola Universities across from Audubon Park, stately mansions of former kings and queens of Mardi Gras, and the exclusive Garden District.

Very disappointing. There were way too many people. We waited in line for the train for 45 minutes. It was impossible to get on any other ride. The place was too dark and it was impossible to see anything in the botanical garden.

The train at City Park is very popular during the holidays. The Park does their best to accommodate as many guests as possible. We regret that you did not enjoy your time in this unique public park decorated for the season.
