45 - Tour dei punti salienti del quartiere Francese a New Orleans
Descrizione
Se hai solo poco tempo ma vuoi vedere il più possibile il quartiere francese, questo è il tour che fa per te! Ci muoveremo a un ritmo veloce, ma sarai in grado di ottenere tutte quelle foto! Vedremo tutti i siti famosi del quartiere francese in 45 minuti. Non c'è tanta narrazione o storia quanta ne trovi in un tipico tour di due ore, ma la tua guida seguirà con un riepilogo del tour e un elenco di modi consigliati per goderti ancora di più New Orleans.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Inizia il tuo vorticoso tour nel cuore della città, Jackson Square. Da qui puoi vedere la Cattedrale di St. Louis, due Musei statali della Louisiana, gli iconici Pontalba Apartments e la statua di Andrew Jackson (ovviamente). La tua guida ti racconterà una breve storia di New Orleans, poi potrai partire!
Prosegui lungo Chartres Street per ammirare alcuni esempi dell'iconica architettura di New Orleans e ottimi negozi e ristoranti, tra cui una casa preparata come rifugio per Napoleone (spoiler: ci ha dato buca), un museo dedicato agli aspetti più strani della professione farmaceutica del XIX secolo ( sanguisughe!) e il Tribunale Supremo dello Stato della Louisiana.
Sfreccia lungo Bourbon Street per un assaggio (non letteralmente, sarebbe disgustoso) del centro della baldoria notturna di New Orleans, comprese le sale da musica e i locali per bere più famosi. Non preoccuparti, di solito non è così scioccante durante il giorno.
Royal Street ha gli esempi più belli di case a schiera del quartiere francese con balconi in pizzo di ferro, artisti di strada e gallerie d'arte. Questa è la strada dei tuoi sogni a New Orleans!
Fai una pausa abbastanza a lungo per scattare qualche foto della casa "più infestata" di New Orleans: l'ex residenza della serial killer del XIX secolo Madame Delphine LaLaurie. Forse ti verranno i brividi!
Qui si trova l'edificio più antico della regione, originariamente costruito per le suore Orsoline che arrivarono a New Orleans nel 1727 per aggiungere un po' di rispettabilità alla città: buona fortuna, povere suore!
Prendi qualche idea per futuri spuntini e acquisti al French Market, il mercato all'aperto vicino al fiume dove New Orleans fa acquisti e mangia da secoli. Scopri le teste di alligatore, le bambole voodoo, le praline, le crêpe, i bicchierini e le ostriche che stavi cercando! Ma dovrai tornare più tardi: abbiamo altro da vedere!
Sperimenta un po' della "grinta" del quartiere francese in Decatur Street, dove ci sono negozi interessanti, ristoranti di pesce, caffè, negozi di dolciumi, musica ovunque e una statua dorata di Giovanna d'Arco! Segui lo zucchero a velo fino al famoso Café Du Monde, il posto migliore per sorseggiare un café au lait mentre mangi bignè e guardi la gente e ascolti jazz dal vivo. Se tua nonna è venuta qui lo ha fatto, devi farlo anche tu! Hai ancora fame? Abbiamo quasi finito!
Questo parco si chiama ora Oscar Dunn Park (ma Google non ha ricevuto il promemoria) ed è il luogo perfetto per concludere il tuo tour super veloce del quartiere francese, con vista su Jackson Square e sul fiume Mississippi. Ti sei guadagnato quei bignè e sei MOLTO più intelligente e in forma di un'ora fa!

Just go book the tour already - you will not be disappointed! Libby was a fantastic guide with so much knowledge of New Orleans and its colorful and interesting history. She tailored our tour to the interests of our group and made sure to answer every question we had. We had a group of high school aged girls and she delivered the information in a way that hooked them from the beginning. I hope we can come back and do another one soon!!
I am so grateful for this review, as I was grateful to be able to walk around with your group in the French Quarter! We had a really nice time. There are so many things to see and do that we are always very happy with our guests tell us what they’re interested in so we can customize the tour. I know you’ll be back, and I’m looking forward to showing y’all around again! There are more stories to tell! Libby

Thank you so much! We are so happy that you shared a little of your birthday weekend with us, and that you enjoyed our walk through the French Quarter. Your family and friends and even the baby were gracious and tough in the rain! Please come again! Libby
Libby gave us a great experience. She’s very knowledgeable and her enthusiasm for New Orleans shone through every moment. We also appreciated her shopping recommendations and we went to every place!
Thank you for this wonderful review! As we talked about, this tour is a fairly new offering so each high rating and recommendation is enormously helpful to this small business! We love our “quick run“ through the French Quarter and we are happy that you enjoyed it, too! It was a pleasure to walk with you and your friends, and we look forward to showing you around next time. See you then! Libby
Libby was fantastic! She was incredibly informative, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made the experience really enjoyable. We also had the opportunity to have a private tour, which made it even more special. Highly recommend! 45 minutes was the perfect length especially for the afternoon heat.
Wow! Thank you so much! It was fun to walk around with you and your group, and I appreciate your hardiness in the heat and humidity. I think our 45 minute tours are going to be very popular this summer! I hope your entire time in New Orleans was fun and memorable, and I hope y’all look me up and walk with me next time you make it to the city. Libby
This is a great way to start a stay in New Orleans if you're staying in the French Quarter. Libby knew a ton of history and shared her preferred spots for dining, beignets, music, and more. She was a lot of fun.
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! I had a great time walking around with you and the students through the fun French Quarter! I hope your entire adventure in New Orleans was a memorable and fun, and that you walk with me another time. Libby
Libby was amazing and worked with our schedule when our flight was cancelled after a seven hour delay. She was understanding and accommodating and we couldn't be more grateful! The tour told us everything we needed to know and more about the area. She also recommended Sweet Saint Ice Cream which was literally the best ice cream I've ever had and Empanola which was incredible.
I am so happy that we finally got to run around together in the French Quarter after all your delays! I enjoyed meeting y'all and sharing history and recommendations. I am glad you had the ice cream and the empanadas, and I hope y'all come tour with me again! Libby
Perfect tour if you don’t have much time. Libby was so knowledgeable and the tour was a great start to understanding the history and sights of NOLA
Thank you! It was so much fun to fly through the French Quarter with you as you took pictures of this beautiful neighborhood and furiously took notes about fun things to do! Please come again! Libby
