What To Expect

French Quarter

After pickup from your downtown or French Quarter hotel by air-conditioned van, your architecture tour begins in the French Quarter, where you'll learn about the history and design styles of the old Creole city of New Orleans. See the Pontalba Buildings of Jackson Square, admire St Louis Cathedral and enjoy a view of the Mississippi River. Along Esplanade Avenue, you'll pass by the French Market, the old US Mint and some elegant mansions.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 3

Next, hop off your van and stretch your legs at the historic St Louis Cemetery #3. During a guided walking tour, see some of its many societal tombs, such as the Hellenic Orthodox community and the Dante Lodge of Masons, which represent the varied backgrounds of New Orleans' former residents.

Garden District

On the drive back to your hotel, you’ll pass through Uptown and along St Charles Avenue, where the grand colonial mansions of the Garden District are some of the most beautiful in all the South.

Highly recommend Tours by Isabelle. I was able to book the tour at short notice by calling the phone number listed on their website and spoke to Isabelle directly who got things rolling right away. We were staying in the French Quarter so hotel pickup and dropoff being included was so convenient for us. John was our tour guide and had so much information to share in addition to giving us insight into how devastating Hurricane Katrina was. We appreciate John and Isabelle for offering us a unique tour experience. Thank you!

If you are taking a private tour during Mardis gras and staying in a hotel in The box of the parade zone then you will need to closely coordinate times and locations for pick up and drop off and some parts of the tour will have to be customized to avoid the traffic and the road closures.

Our guide/driver was so informative and engaged. If you love history as we do I would very much recommend this tour. The good and the bad and the ugly is all represented.
