Itinerario
Deslízate por las calles estrechas e históricas del barrio más antiguo de la ciudad mientras te sumerges en su mezcla única de arquitectura francesa, española y criolla. Verás Jackson Square, el corazón del Barrio, con la emblemática Catedral de San Luis sobre ella. Muy cerca, pasaría por la orilla del río Mississippi, con vistas a los barcos de vapor y el animado paseo fluvial. El tour también te llevaría por Royal Street y Bourbon Street, donde experimentarás el contraste entre elegantes galerías de arte, tiendas de antigüedades y la vida nocturna de fama mundial. En el camino, su guía compartiría historias de piratas, vudú, jazz y tradiciones de Mardi Gras, dando vida a la historia y la cultura de Nueva Orleans.
Es la catedral católica romana más antigua de los Estados Unidos, construida originalmente en 1700 y reconstruida en 1850. Sus llamativas agujas triples dan a Jackson Square, lo que la convierte en uno de los sitios más fotografiados de la ciudad.
Bourbon Street es la calle más famosa del Barrio Francés, conocida mundialmente por su vibrante vida nocturna, luces de neón, jazz en vivo y bares interminables. De día, verás la arquitectura colonial francesa y española histórica con balcones de hierro forjado cubiertos de cuentas.
Data de finales del siglo XVII, es famosa por sus tumbas sobre el suelo, a menudo llamadas “ciudades de los muertos”, construidas de esta manera debido a la alta capa freática de la ciudad. El más visitado es el Cementerio de San Luis n.o 1, donde se encuentran mausoleos familiares ornamentados y los lugares de descanso de figuras famosas como la Reina Vudú Marie Laveau.
Frenchmen Street le da una muestra de la verdadera cultura musical de Nueva Orleans, donde el jazz nació y aún prospera hoy.
El Mercado Francés es el mercado más antiguo de Nueva Orleans, que data de 1791. Hoy es un vibrante mercado al aire libre donde encontrará artesanías locales, arte, recuerdos, especias, productos frescos y puestos de comida que sirven de todo, desde beignets hasta especialidades de cajún. Se extiende a lo largo del río Misisipi y captura el espíritu del pasado comercial de la ciudad, mezclando influencias francesas, españolas, caribeñas y criollas.

Segway is the best way to see the French Quarter! It's so easy and fun, even at 70 years we both had no problem. Ren was amazing! She gave us good training and we started slow but quickly became very comfortable with it. We covered everything from the Saint Louis Cathedral to the Riverwalk to Bourbon and Royal St. Ren gave us great History and stories, she was very knowledgeable. We loved it, segway is the best way to see it all!
Thank you so much, Sharon! 😊 We absolutely loved having you with us, and it means so much to hear that you enjoyed the experience. Ren will be very happy to hear your kind words! At Segway Tours New Orleans we truly believe Segway is one of the best ways to explore the French Quarter comfortably, have fun, and learn the city’s history along the way ⚜️ We hope to see you again on your next visit to New Orleans!
My husband and I lucked out and had a private tour with Ren. We only had one day to visit NOLA and had a blast. She was fun, friendly and very informative. Also, anyone with reservations about using a segway, no worries, it's easy to learn and Ren was extremely patient. She made our day!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 😊 We’re so happy to hear you both had a great time exploring New Orleans with Ren. She truly loves making the experience fun, informative, and comfortable for everyone, especially first-time Segway riders! It was a pleasure having you with us during your quick visit to NOLA, and we’re glad we could help make your day special. We hope to see you again on your next trip to New Orleans! ⚜️
Weather was supposed to be dry, but it dumped rain on us out of the blue. Ren easily pivoted our tour, and we were able to avoid some of the downpour. Ren was so friendly and patient and informative. We loved it!

This is the 6th segway tour my husband and I have taken. We like to take a segway tour at each new city that we travel to because we feel it's a good way to get an overall feel for the city, it's history and culture. This segway tour was very so-so. Patrick, our guide, was very nice and patient with the 8 of us that were in his tour. However, he did not have a thorough knowledge of New Orleans it seemed, and did not give much information or facts about the city as we were traveling through it. Most of the segway tours we have been on provide headphones to the tourists. That way your tour guide can be in constant contact with his tourists while continually providing you with interesting facts about the areas you are rolling by. This tour did not have headphones. So the only time Patrick spoke to us was when we stopped. Another very important reason for providing headphones is tourist safety, especially when passing through intersections or areas of traffic congestion. It has been our experience that the guide will go through an intersection first, stop in the middle of it, insure all is clear, inform his tourist to pass, and then be the last one to leave the intersection. Patrick did none of this. In all cases, he passed through the intersection first, stayed first in the line and just assumed the rest of us, 8 of us, got through safely while he occasionally looked back. This happened through intersections that were not controlled, or controlled by stop signs, or traffic signals. This made me feel unsafe and not very well taken care of by the tour group. As, I said, this was my husband and I's 6th segway tour, in which one of them was in San Francisco, traveling IN the streets with traffic and segwaying down Lombard Street. I never felt unsafe in those situations because our tour guide had control and made our safety a priority . But we did not feel safe traveling through traffic with Patrick. My husband and I was happy we took the tour. We did get to roll through a lot of the city in a shorter time that it would have taken to walk. But I don't think I can recommend this tour.

Riding a segway is easier than it looks. Our guide, Patrick, was fantastic! He helped everyone feel comfortable on the segways before heading out. He was great with helping us through traffic and bumps in the road. I think this is my new favorite way to tour a city!
