Volunteer Donald Midkitt spent two hours taking 4 visitors on a 2 hour walk through the French Quarter and through history. We learned about the various nationalities who built the current New Orleans. Architecture, building techniques, historical politics, and a whole lot more were covered. There was a very reasonable charge of $20 per adult, which included a ticket to the Louisiana State Museum. These tours are given at 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM Tuesday through Sunday. I had not realized that Italian and Irish immigrants played such a big role in New Orleans. I would highly recommend this tour, but it probably wouldn't interest younger children.
