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.

My husband and I took the Historically New Orleans City tour with Ellen. She was great and very informative. She made sure we understood the history of this great city and was very enthusiastic sharing stories and her experiences with us. I highly recommend taking this tour, you will have more stops that any other tours and you will have the best experience exploring this city with a local. Also, customer service is exceptional. Isabelle personally apologized to us for a little inconvenience that we had and was very kind and understanding with the situation.

Our tour guide, Gisele, was fantastic! So very knowledgeable and clearly loves her job. Tip: bring something to jot all her suggestions down so you don't forget! We loved learning all the history behind all the different areas. We especially loved the Bansky she showed us and walking around the sculpture garden. A must tour if you want to see sights beyond the French quarter.

Isabelle was wonderful, accommodating and professional to work with. She helped my family create a perfect private tour experience and last minute at that. She paired us with the most amazing and local guide, Rene. We highly recommend for all history New Orleans. He knows his stuff and can answer and questions. He is also accommodating. Tours with Isabelle will be everything you are hoping for. Thank you
