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?

Captain Ernie made my day!

Captain Ernie blew my expectations. I don’t usually take tours cause it feels…”so touristy”… I was wrong. Captain Ernie was knowledgeable and funny and encouraged questions. He’s an educator and a lover of his homeland. Such a wealth of information! And all delivered in a beautiful setting on a boat!!! Hot Tip: Captain Ernie says it’s best in May if you want to see mating. I was here in October and the late afternoon light was georgeous.

Great way to start our visit to New Orleans

We’ve learned that a foodie tour is one of the best ways to get an overview of the tastes, sights, and history of a new place. This tour did not disappoint. Susan, our guide, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and set a perfect pace. The food selections were delicious and we could tell she had a great relationship with the vendors we visited.

Mr. Archie it’s the one!

Baby!!!Yesterday, October 21st, at 4:15 PM, my four-year-old baby and I had the pleasure of taking a swamp tour with Mr. Archie, and when I tell you it was EVERYTHING, I mean it! This was more than a boat ride; it was a peaceful, educational, and unforgettable experience!As someone born and raised in New Orleans who moved away last year, I loved discovering things about my home that I never knew. What made this tour so special was that Mr. Archie was born and raised in the swamp! Hearing him share stories about his childhood, how life has changed, fishing, and everything his daddy and grandfather taught him was truly phenomenal.You can watch TV and search the Internet, but NOTHING compares to hearing history and knowledge directly from someone who has lived it firsthand. Mr. Archie brought the swamp to life with his stories, knowledge, and passion. We even fed the alligators marshmallows while learning about their eating habits and behavior. It was fascinating!As a mother, my favorite part was watching my baby enjoy himself. He LOVES boats and wildlife, and this experience was right up his alley! He has NOT STOPPED TALKING ABOUT IT since we got off the boat! Creating memories like this while allowing my child to explore, learn, and experience something new is priceless.Mr. Archie, THANK YOU! for sharing your time, your life experiences, your knowledge, and a piece of Louisiana’s history with us. Your passion and authenticity made this experience stand out, and we are so grateful we had the opportunity to meet you.LISTEN, if you’re visiting New Orleans or you’re a Louisiana native who thinks you’ve seen it all, GET ON MR. ARCHIE’S BOAT! Bring your children, bring your family, and come ready to learn. You’re getting so much more than a tour; you’re getting real stories, history, wildlife, and memories that will stay with you.FIVE ⭐️ ISN’T ENOUGH! We absolutely loved it, and we highly recommend Mr. Archie to EVERYONE! Thank you for an amazing experience! ❤️🐊⚜️
