What you'll do
Uncover the mysteries of the French Quarter in the heart of New Orleans
Your tour will kick off as soon as you arrive at the port, where a representative will come to pick you up and take you to New Orleans. Once you arrive, begin your journey at the place where it all began - the Mississippi River. Take in the views and learn about its Native American, French, Spanish, Pirate, and American history through the boats of each time period in history! Afterward, head to a local bar and get a shot of Vieux Carre - a local liquor that is a combination of rye whiskey, cognac, sweet vermouth, and maraschino cherry. It will be the perfect way to energize yourself before carrying on with the tour. Admire the colonial architecture and go shopping at the French Market After the quick stop at the bar, head towards the heart of the French Quarter and learn about the unique history behind many of the iconic architectural sites; including Ursuline Convent (the oldest building in the Mississippi River Valley), St. Louis Cathedral (the oldest continuously operating cathedral in the United States), the Pontabla buildings, Cabildo, and much more.
