Tag din egen vej til Musical Legends Park for at møde din guide til din vandretur. Efter introduktioner kan du slentre en kort afstand til bredden af Mississippi-floden, hvor du lærer, hvordan konstruktionen af dammen forvandlede sumpen til frugtbart landbrugsland, hvilket gjorde New Orleans til et vigtigt knudepunkt i regionen.
Vælg mellem en morgen- eller aftentur, og forvent at gå omkring 3,2 km i et roligt tempo, før du afslutter tæt på Mississippi-flodens dæmning.
Fortsæt ved at gå gennem det franske marked, det ældste friluftsmarked i USA.
Derefter skal du til Jackson Square, hjertet af det franske kvarter
Se vigtige steder, herunder Cabildo - bygget mellem 1795 og 1799 - denne bygning husede engang regeringens centrum i New Orleans, og det er nu Louisiana State Museum.
Se Presbytere - bygget i 1791 for at matche Cabildo er et fascinerende museum med 2 permanente udstillinger, der fortæller om både byernes modstandskraft og fest.
Lær om disse bloklange bygninger, der danner to sider af Jackson Square i hjertet af det franske kvarter i New Orleans.
Din guide tager dig med ind i St Louis Cathedral og viser dig, hvor den store New Orleans-brand i 1788 startede, og forklarer, hvordan genopbygningen efter branden resulterede i, hvad der nu betragtes som den klassiske arkitektoniske stil i det franske kvarter.
Træd derefter ind i en frodig kreolsk gårdhave og lær om kompleksiteten af det kreolske samfund og slaveriet i det sydlige Louisiana. Gå til balkonen i den tidligere Quadroon Ballroom, mens din guide forklarer de kreolske elskerinders tidligere liv og systemet kendt som 'placering'. Under din tur påpeger din guide filmsteder og litterære tilholdssteder såsom bygningen, hvor Tennessee Williams skrev 'A Streetcar Named Desire'. Du kommer ind i William Faulkners hjem, før du stopper ved Pirate's Alley, hvor din guide fortæller om lokale legender om fængsel flugter og dueller. Nyd også tonerne af talentfulde gademusikere, mens du slentrer.
Stå uden for Mississippi River-dalens ældste bygning, Ursuline-klosteret, hvis historie giver et vindue til den tidlige koloniseringsindsats i Louisiana.

Our tour guide David was very knowledgeable about the French Quarter history and architecture. He explained the history of many of the buildings that we had seen before, but we didn’t know what they were. It was a very enjoyable and interesting tour.
Wonderful experience. I come to New Orleans every year, and have gone on numerous tours; David captivated our attention the entire time, and made this history tour a favorite of mine.
If you book with Eve, you are in for a treat. She was extremely knowledgeable and catered the tour to the group’s interests. I truly enjoyed every second of the tour and wished it was a little longer. I would 100% book this tour again, it was the best way to explore the French quarter.
David was very knowledgable and professional, I absolutely enjoyed the tour.
She was very friendly and super informative! Knew the area very well and showed us great places with good stories!
Bryon was amazing and extremely knowledgeable about history and current implications of past events on what makes New Orleans what it is today. He even directed us to an authentic creole kitchen for one of the best meals I've had in a long time.
Our guide, Dave definitely knew his stuff. However, he didn’t take into account that our two kiddos (ages 8.&11) were also on the tour. In fact, he simply ignored them the entire time. I liked hearing everything he had to teach us but we had to end the tour early because our kids were so bored. If it isn’t designed for families of all ages, it should indicate a recommended age on the website. The thing is, our 11-year-old loves history and knows a lot but Dave did nothing to help include her. Disappointing. In addition, he did not encourage questions or interaction at all. In fact, he chastised me when I mistakenly attributed the St. Louis Cathedral to King Louis XIV instead of King Louis IX (heaven forbid). Dave was more concerned about telling us everything he knew than us having a good time.
I have taken similar tours before, and unfortunately this one was not what I expected. I had hoped we would walk around the French Quarter more and learn interesting things about multiple places. This tour turned out to be overly detailed history of the city which stops in only a few locations
Wonderful! Knowledgeable guide who made it enjoyable.
David was a hoot. Fun tour with a knowledgeable guide that hits the hot spots in the French Quarter.
