Itinéraire
Glissez dans les rues étroites et historiques du plus vieux quartier de la ville tout en vous imprégnant de son mélange unique d'architecture Français, Espagnol et créole. Vous verrez Jackson Square, le cœur du quartier, avec l’emblématique cathédrale Saint-Louis qui domine. À proximité, vous passeriez devant le Mississippi Riverfront, avec vue sur les bateaux à vapeur et la promenade animée. La visite vous emmènerait également sur Royal Street et Bourbon Street, où vous découvririez le contraste entre les galeries d'art élégantes, les magasins d'antiquités et la vie nocturne mondialement connue. En chemin, votre Guide partagerait des histoires de pirates, de vaudou, de jazz et de traditions du Mardi Gras, donnant vie à l'histoire et à la culture de La Nouvelle-Orléans.
C’est la plus ancienne cathédrale catholique des États-Unis, construite dans les années 1700 et reconstruite en 1850. Ses triples flèches saisissantes surplombent Jackson Square, ce qui en fait l'un des sites les plus photographiés de la ville.
Bourbon Street est la rue la plus célèbre du quartier Français, connue dans le monde entier pour sa vie nocturne animée, ses néons, son jazz live et ses bars interminables. De jour, vous verrez des architectures coloniales Françaises et Espagnoles historiques avec des balcons en fer forgé drapés de perles.
Datant de la fin des années 1700, elle est célèbre pour ses tombes hors sol – souvent appelées « villes des morts » – construites de cette façon en raison de la haute nappe phréatique de la ville. Le plus visité est le cimetière Saint-Louis n°1, où vous trouverez des mausolées familiaux ornés et les lieux de repos de personnages célèbres comme la reine Vaudou Marie Laveau.
Frenchmen Street vous donne un avant-goût de la véritable culture musicale de La Nouvelle-Orléans, où le jazz est né et prospère encore aujourd'hui.
Le Marché Français est le plus ancien Marketplace de La Nouvelle-Orléans, datant de 1791. Aujourd'hui, c'est un marché en plein air animé où vous trouverez de l'artisanat local, de l'art, des souvenirs, des épices, des produits frais et des stands de nourriture servant tout, des beignets aux spécialités cajuns. Il s’étend le long du Mississippi et capture l’esprit du passé commercial de la ville, mêlant influences Français, Espagnol, caribéenne et créole.

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!
Hi! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that, even with the unexpected rain, you still had such a great experience.

We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to New Orleans!
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!
