Nueva Orleans! A Private Small Group French Quarter Tour In Spanish!

Overview

Relive the Great Fire of 1788, that left the old French city in ashes, while standing in front of Don Joseph Vincent Nunez’ home, the Colony’s Royal Treasurer, from where the fire started and spread. Take a walk with us through Jackson Square, once known as the Plaza de Armas, where in 1769 the dramatic scene of the transfer of power from France to Spain took place when Captain-General Alejandro O’Reilly arrived with 2 dozen ships and 2,600 Spanish soldiers to firmly establish Spanish rule.

Walk the alley along side the Cathedral, where Friar Antonio de Sedella, a beloved Spanish Capuchin, is believed to walk as a ghost in the early mornings. Hear the stories of Don Andres Almonester, Spanish Philanthropist and Royal Notary of Louisiana, who rebuilt the Illustrious Cabildo (Casa Capitular) the Presbytere (Casa Curial) and the Cathedral at his own expense, after the Great Fires. And you can always expect “something extra”…. That’s Nueva Orleans with The Savvy Native!

Graziella was a very nice and knowledgeable tour guide. She pointed out many details about the architecture of the French Quarter that we never would have even noticed even after our third time visiting the city. She knew a lot of the history and culture and she was able to convey all this information in spanish for my in laws. One thing that I would suggest as an improvement, would be to carry a small microphone or something to amplify the voice. The streets of French Quarter as very noisy and I would hate to miss any information!

Hello Magaly, Thank you very much for your great review of The Savvy Native’s French Quarter Tour in Spanish! Graziella mentioned that the Quarter was rather noisy for your tour. Car alarms and Fire trucks certainly don’t help when social distancing and wearing a mask. Your suggestion for improvement is a good one but unfortunately no open amplification is allowed in the French Quarter. We greatly appreciate your patronage and hope to see you again the next time you’re in the city. Thanks Again!
