Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: French Quarter, New Orleans, LA
On these streets, an amalgamation of cultures collide – jazz, voodoo, and Mardi Gras are some of the small hints to the roots of this city and its enigmatic people.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
While we will meet on Bourbon Street, the 24-hour party that surrounds us is simply a sign of the times – a modern-day adaptation of the past. We will get a taste and then duck into the more intimate side streets of the French Quarter.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Exchange Place, Exchange Pl, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA
It would be a sin to walk the French Quarter without talking about cocktails so your guide will show you and talk about the many cocktails birthed in these establishments. You are welcome to grab a drink (not included in the price of the tour) should you wish to continue on with a beverage in hand.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Jackson Square, 615 Pere Antoine Alley, New Orleans, LA 70116-3234

Just off the square, it is time to enter the Presbytère Museum where touching exhibits on Hurricane Katrina await. Then in an almost total 180-degree spin, view the exhibit on Mardi Gras – but that is life in the Crescent City, touching and joyful at the same time.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: French Market, 1008 N Peters St, New Orleans, LA 70116-3406
