A 4-hour tour will give us just enough time to scrape the surface of Mardi Gras traditions and culture in New Orleans, and we can start at the Louisiana State Museum. You’ll go behind the scenes here to learn all about the rich history of “Fat Tuesday” and the craft behind the fabulous floats and costumes carefully made for the celebrations. Follow your local guide into the historic French Quarter to get a taste of Creole New Orleans at one of the century-old dining establishments along the way.
