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, 701 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70116
While the French Quarter is synonymous with drinks, dancing, and a rowdy time, it's not all just about the party. Next, your guide will lead you through Jackson Square to visit more historical sites.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Pontalba Buildings, 700 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70116-3372
Take a look at these (almost) identical pieces of architecture framing the square and listen to your guide as they explain all the fascinating stories hidden in their facade - including their run as the oldest continuously-rented apartments in the United States.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Cabildo, 701 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA 70130
Pause at the foot of the Cabildo, where the Louisiana Purchase was signed.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: St. Louis Cathedral, 615 Pere Antoine Aly, New Orleans, LA 70116-3291
Take in the iconic view of this spire-topped beauty.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: The Presbytere, 751 Chartres Street Jackson Square, New Orleans, LA 70116
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
On your way to your final area of the French Quarter, head into one of the most haunted buildings in the United States where supernatural encounters are close by - especially in the seance room which you’ll peek into for a few minutes before swinging through to the old French Market overlooking the beauty of Jackson Square.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Cafe Du Monde French Market, 800 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70116, USA
Round out your time in the French Quarter at Cafe du Monde where your guide will leave you to enjoy a treat and the rushing Mississippi River as it weaves past the Big Easy.

My partner and I really enjoyed this tour. It was just enough, but left us wanting more! Timothy, our guide, was personable and friendly and the stops on the tour (and the beignet) were all fantastic!

My family and I had the extreme pleasure of taking a day trip through the most celebrated, relevant and historic neighborhoods and landmarks of New Orleans. Our guide, Tim Muller was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and it shown through during this very informative tour. He was very detailed about the history of the City and even shared fascinating, esoteric tidbits that would serve as great material for Jeopardy!! If you want to get the most bang for your buck this is the tour for you!! We ended the day with tasty beignets alongside the Mississippi River! Good stuff!!Ricearoniohio

Awesome walking tour with Tim, we all really enjoyed it. We also learned about copper lanterns and Hurricane Katrina. Eating the beignet by the Mississippi River was a great way to end the tour.
