Itinerário
Você passará três horas inesquecíveis em nosso confortável minibus, com ar-condicionado, enquanto obtém uma visão geral de Nova Orleans e experimenta a história e a cultura dos crioulos com seu guia turístico licenciado. Nenhuma viagem a Nova Orleans seria completa sem ver os destaques de nossa cidade e algumas das áreas afetadas pelas águas da enchente do Katrina. Seu guia também fornecerá uma visão geral do "Bairro Francês", apontando áreas de interesse, para que você possa explorá-las mais tarde, no seu próprio ritmo.
Você verá a Jackson Square, o local onde a compra da Louisiana foi feita.
Passe pela catedral mais antiga da América do Norte.
Veja o Cabildo, que foi a sede da prefeitura colonial espanhola de Nova Orleans.
Passe neste mercado ao ar livre, abrangendo 6 quarteirões.
No caminho para os "Dueling Oaks" do parque da cidade de Nova Orleans, você verá casas com 100 anos de idade ao longo da Esplanade Avenue. Você visitará um cemitério acima do solo, onde receberá uma breve visita guiada. Seu guia irá explicar como as pessoas de Nova Orleans enterram seus mortos no chão em túmulos reutilizáveis. Essa tradição era por necessidade, não por escolha.
Visite o cemitério e aprenda sobre o processo único de enterro acima do solo de Nova Orleans.
Você fará um passeio lento pela St. Charles Avenue, no lado americano de Nova Orleans, e verá algumas das casas do Garden District. Você passará pela casa de Ann Rice e pela casa do Governador Claiborne, por volta de 1840.
Veja a mansão Elms e muito mais. Você testemunhará a arquitetura diversificada do lado americano de Nova Orleans.
Além do passeio pela cidade, você fará um passeio de carro até a Oak Alley Plantation. Este é um dos mais magníficos passeios pela plantação por causa dos 28 carvalhos enormes e espaçados de maneira uniforme que vão da estrada do rio até a Casa da Plantação. Construída em 1837 no estilo da arquitetura grega do renascimento, esta casa poderia ser retirada diretamente do filme "Gone with the Wind". Juntamente com o equipamento agrícola antigo, o local também apresenta um restaurante, uma loja de ferreiro e uma loja de lembranças. A escolha é sua, como você gostaria de usar seu horário livre. É uma experiência abrangente de plantação. O passeio pela casa do Oak Alley é conduzido por guias com roupas autênticas no estilo das plantações. É necessário caminhar para este passeio. A distância da casa da plantação até o restaurante e a loja de souvenirs é de aproximadamente 1 quadra. Há bancos ao longo do caminho, sombreados pelos Oaks. O passeio será educativo e esclarecedor, para que você possa revisitar e explorar as atrações e pontos de interesse de Nova Orleans. Esta é uma obrigação para quem vem para a cidade. Seu motorista é um “City Tour Guide” licenciado que será narrado ao longo do caminho, durante o curso do passeio. Este passeio é uma visão geral de Nova Orleans e das áreas afetadas pelo Katrina.

I didn't give it 5 stars because of the plantation tour. The city tour with Gary was superb. I took a similar tour years ago and remember the one hour drive to the plantation entertaining with the guide offering lots of history and bits of information that you won't get in history books. I wanted my husband to experience the same, but instead, we just got a silent drive all the way there and back. The plantation itself is impressive with beautiful gardens, but again, the tour of the house was given by a human recorder. Just one run on sentence after another. After the return to the city we switched buses and that's when Gary took over. Oh what a treat! He was lively, funny and frankly, saved the day. If you have to pick, skip the plantation and go on the city tour with Gary K. Trust me on this, it will be the highlight of the trip.
Both tours were amazing. Laraine picked us up bright and early for the Oak Valley tour. She was so pleasant that early in the morning. A bright ray of sunshine is the best way to describe her. Gary showed us around the city and he was amazing as well. His knowledge of the city was great and helpful.
Oak alley is beautiful but can be slow as tours are every 15 minutes and if task questions in the group in front then there may be delays
This was 2 tours in 1. First, Oak Alley had a lot of history on old plantation life in New Orleans, growing sugar cane. The second part of the tour was an in-depth look at New Orleans and its founders. If you like history - this tour will not disappoint.
Thank you for the five-star review, Anne!
The plantation tour was educational and everyone was professional and informative. The city tour was generally good and had a knowledgeable tour guide, but I don't think he enjoyed his job very much. He made several comments throughout the trip that suggested he was in a hurry to finish, and at the end he made me and my family feel uncomfortable with like some off handed aggression. We unfortunately did not tip at the end which I felt bad about, but to be clear I didn't know that was a thing since I don't typically take tours and was not prepared with cash. As we stepped off the bus he was very upset that we did not tip him and tried to verbally shame us, as if it was intentional. I ALWAYS tip when it's expected because I have been a service worker and understand that it provides for peoples' livelihoods, and if I had money at the time I would have, but the shaming comments were excessive. I wish the driver the best of luck, hopefully he finds peace in what he does someday.
Thank you for your feedback. We do not condone these actions if they are true. We will further investigate the situation to make sure that it doesn't happen again. Please feel free to call us at 504-689-3599 to give us additional information. Thank you.
Darren, the driver on the city tour was the most amazing part of this trip! He was fun, engaging and so knowledgeable! His passion for NOLA and his job is contagious! The pick up from the hotel was a mess! Our instructions were to look for a bus that said Alert Transportation. The first driver told us to wait for a different bus. The next driver accepted us on but didn’t reference her list and it turned out we were on the wrong bus. We had to switch again and then we set out for the long, bumpy, scary drive to the plantation. The driver for this horrible. He drove SO FAST and carelessly—it was scary (he even ran through a stop sign)! On top of that, the roads were horribly bumpy and we felt like we had been in a two hour car accident by the end. To add insult to injury, the air conditioner started leaking water all over us due to the rough roads. Additionally, his paperwork was wrong and we were down for the swamp tour instead of the city tour, which meant yet another bus switch. The plantation tour was amazing overall but a little disappointing with only being 30 mins in the house. It seemed rushed and we didn’t get much information. Additionally, the groups were too big so you didn’t get time or space to really look at anything. The time outside the house was sufficient and the views were breathtaking! The history of this place is so interesting and the grounds were gorgeous. Overall, I would recommend the tour, but be prepared for the disorganization and rough ride!!
Thank you for your feedback. We do apologize about the experience with transportation. We will further investigate and address the problem to avoid it from happening again the future.
Actually seeing sample of plantation life with HUGE difference between quarters of owners and slaves. The city tour was also very interesting covering a lot of the New Orleans parishes.
Thank you for the five-star review, Valerie!
The lovely building, lunch at the restaurant were excellent and the gift shop had an incredible wealth of items and watching the lady make pralines was entertaining.
Thank you for the five-star review, Lucille!
I really enjoyed this tour, the Oak Ally plantation was beautiful, and the trees are amazing. I didn't like that we could not take pictures inside the plantation. Our driver had to be reminded that we were doing the city tour after but dropped us off with the driver just in time for the 2nd tour. The city tour was also good it would have been better if the driver was not also the guide providing the details as it was kinda hard to hear him sometimes.
Thank you for the five-star review!
This was a wonderful tour with friendly and knowledgeable drivers/guides. Oak Ally was great history and exhibits. The City tour was a great testament to the strengths of the people
Thank you for the five-star review, Melanie!
