Itinerary
-
French Quarter
- You will explore New Orleans’ colourful history, culture, and architecture.
- We will be by your side as we stroll through the oldest part of the city, originally called the Vieux Carre and explore Jackson Square, the original Place d’Armes.
- You will be engaged as we converse about the confluences of cultures and the stories of yesteryear.
- You will see the architecture and the oldest building in the entire Mississippi Valley.
- We will discuss the history of the Native Americans, enslaved, French, Spanish, Creole and mixed races who made this land home. Nowhere in New Orleans will you experience the city's pulse like you will on this tour in the French Quarter.
- The French Quarter Walking Tour begins at 768 Decatur Street in front of the concrete steps, where we will begin our walk through the past with stories of our 300-plus years.
- You will see St Louis Cathedral, the most photographed church in the south, and you will visit the Mississippi River, which is the reason New Orleans exists.
- Whether it was legalized prostitution, the creation of jazz music, Mardi Gras parades, original cuisine, America’s first cocktails or floods and hurricanes, we have always been in the headlines and those stories just scratch the surface. The full history of New Orleans could fill volumes, but it is still never told in full.
- Walk along with our Living Legacy guide, who can tell you the recent and old history firsthand through the words of their ancestors who lived it. History takes on a different feel when told by the people who have lived it.
