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.

This was our 4th Church tour with Steve and it won’t be our last. You can tell this is his passion. He is so knowledgeable about the history of the Catholic Churches in New Orleans. The churches are stunning and their history is amazing. It paints a picture of what life was like for the common man and slaves. I can not recommend this tour enough. I look forward to making the tour a 5th time. it’s a gem of New Orleans. I recommend all Tours by Isabelle.
