Itinerary

Choose from three different departure times, and meet your guide in the heart of the French Quarter near famous Jackson Square. Begin with a short stroll over to the banks of the Mississippi to take in scenes of river life and learn how the waterway played an essential role in the city’s founding and growth. From here, wind your way through the French Quarter on a 1.5-mile (2.4-kilometer) walk, stopping along the way to learn the history behind the one-of-a-kind mansions, alleys, and tucked-away nooks you pass.

Visit some of the most well-known landmarks in the French Quarter, including the famous St. Louis Cathedral, Pontalba buildings, the Cabildo, the Napoleon House, the Louisiana Supreme Court, and the Presbytery. Take a peek into hidden courtyards, and stroll down on Pirate’s Alley, Exchange Alley, and colorful Royal Street before visiting the Bevelo Factory, the Pharmacy Museum, and the Vincent Nunez House.

The itinerary is flexible and moves at a leisurely pace to allow plenty of time for questions and discussion. Feel free to ask your guide if there's anything special you'd like to know about the neighborhood and New Orleans’s fascinating history.

1st trip to NOLA

Katheryne_R, Jun 2024

Dominick had an extensive knowledge of NOLA both past and present. He recommended incredible places to eat and visit.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

I am glad you enjoyed. your tour. II. hope your entire visit to New Orleans was just as enjoyable. Thanks for choosing me to be your guide.

100% worth doing

Richard_P, Jan 2024

Dominick was our tour guide. He was super knowledgeable and educational. He taught and showed us many things about New Orleans that have been "hidden in plain site" to us. I've been to New Orleans a few times over the years and this was my first tour. I'm shocked by how much I've missed over the years by just going with the crowd and I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants a deeper understanding of the culture, neighborhoods, and history of this area.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

I am glad you enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the city. Hope to see you again.

Private Tour us the way to go
