What To Expect

Bourbon Street

Bourbon St can be a fun place to spend an evening, but there are things to look out for. Along with street performers, there are a lot of tricks, and ‘tourist traps’. Your host will tell you all of them.

Bourbon Street

Lafitte’s Blacksmith shop is one of the oldest buildings in the French Quarter. The story goes, this shop survived the fires of 1788 and 179_ because it was, in fact, a blacksmith shop, and so structurally it was built to withstand large amounts of heat.

Royal Street

Back on Royal Street we are going to sightsee a very special building. If you’ve seen American Horror Story you are probably familiar with Madame Delphine Lalaurie

French Market

Spanning 6 blocks, The French Market began where Cafe Du Monde stands currently - which is the direction we will be heading. Here you can find a variety of local foods, from beignets, to crawfish, local produce, alligator bites - you name it.

Lalaurie Mansion

The LaLaurie Mansion is widely considered one of the most haunted houses in New Orleans' French Quarter.

Beyond wonderful experience, our tour guide Brett was very knowledgeable and had a lot of great information to share with us. He walked us through the quarter, pointed out buildings, architectural styles, kept us intrigued by the timeline and had fantastic recommendations for us. He was funny and informative at the same time, would highly recommend.

Getting the views of someone who grew up in the area was a real treat. If you're really interested in architecture and architectural history, this is the tour for you. Brett pointed out one of the most architecturally incongruous buildings I've ever seen.
