The French Quarter has always belonged to its women—painted or pious, dangerous or divine, sometimes all at once. We reveal the fiercely complex women who shaped the heart of New Orleans. Their names echo like hymns and hexes: Baroness Pontalba, Elizabeth Werlein, Madame LaLaurie, Marie Laveau, Saint Frances Cabrini, & Rose Nicaud. The Baroness de Pontalba, who stamped her initials—and her vision—into the architecture of Jackson Square. Her story is one of defiance and civic rebirth. The preservationist fire of Elizabeth Werlein - this woman's fire saved rather than destroyed. Madame LaLaurie's horrors told not through haunted legend, but the cruelty of racial violence cloaked in wealth and elegance laid bare. Marie Laveau—Voodoo Queen, healer, mystic, and more. Rose Nicaud, once-enslaved, she carved out a life selling coffee —one of the city’s first Black, female entrepreneurs. Women who didn’t just live in New Orleans. They built her, saw her broken, and resurrected her.

For nearly three centuries, New Orleans has lived somewhere between the sacred and the scandalous. Sin & Salvation explores the complicated relationship between faith, vice, morality, power, forgiveness, and reinvention in a city that has never fit neatly into anyone’s definition of respectable. Beginning at Jackson Square, guests look toward St. Louis Cathedral while hearing of notorious Gallatin Street and Bricktop, then enter the religious heart of the city through Père Antoine, the Ursulines, Marie Laveau, Henriette Delille, and the Sisters of the Holy Family. Mardi Gras, Lent, temperance, Storyville, jazz, sex-work, and the lives of Josie Arlington, Lulu White, and Norma Wallace reveal a city where sin and salvation have always existed side by side. We begin looking at a cathedral while talking about sin. We end seated in a former bordello talking about salvation, asking: Who gets to define sin, what does salvation look like, and who gets to be saved?

Capt Jay is the best. We came across alligators at 3 different spots. We knew it was a 50/50 chance, but he was able to get us really close to them and he even fed them and kissed them. It was amazing to see. Highly recommend going out with Capt Jay. He was knowledgeable and extremely funny. Enjoyed our tour very much.

Betty_H, Oct 2026

Fabulous Tour

This tour was excellent! It was well organized, detailed yet concise, and comfortable to take part in. Cynthia, our guide, provided a wealth of information that highlighted the areas of interest that were included. We’ve been regular visitors to New Orleans for over forty years and had already done numerous tours of the city. This one was better than any of the others! Having a guide in addition to a driver (Carl, who was excellent as well) made it possible for each to remain focused on their specializations. Cynthia’s knowledge of the city allowed her delivery to be natural and her voice quality and diction made her easy to understand….even for ol’ codgers like us whose hearing has waned. I highly recommend this tour!

Swamp Boat Ride and Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans

Lucy_T, Oct 2026

Not one to miss if you’re visiting New Orleans!

An excellent day with Kate as our tour guide and Cindy as our driver. Our boat captain Dustin was also wonderful. It was a really informative trip and there was plenty of time for wandering and exploring both the plantation and Cajun Pride. In the plantation, we got to see the beautiful gardens, planter’s house and slave houses with guides who talked us through life on the plantation. On the river cruise, we saw loads of alligators (all different sizes/ages), raccoons, turtles and wild boars. Our captain told stories and jokes, then surprised us at the end with a tiny, baby alligator to hold! A truly brilliant experience.

We took the late tour and it was awesome. After dark it was cool to see the cemetary and hear the ghost stories. If you’re looking for a spooky experience then this is the one for you. Our tour guide was wonderful. We didn’t experience any paranormal on this tour but I think that’s a good thing. Keep the peace with the spirits.
