Itinerary and highlights
Go beyond the typical city tour to experience and see New Orleans like a local.
After a New Orleans hotel pickup, relax on board an enclosed, air-conditioned minibus that runs every day, rain or shine. Pass through the French Quarter and travel past mansions along Esplanade Avenue.
Stop in City Park for a visit to the Morning Call Cafe for coffee and beignets.
In addition, see the Ninth Ward, a neighborhood devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
View the Garden District with its vast mansions that line pristine boulevards and Faubourg Treme — one of the oldest African-American neighborhoods in the country, dating back to the 1700s.
Pass through the Warehouse District, home of the internationally acclaimed World War II Museum, and by the Contemporary Arts Center, one of the country’s first art institutions. The tour also makes a brief stop at a cemetery to see the city’s distinctive, above-ground tombs.
Then travel to the beautiful Oak Alley Plantation, located on the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Movies such as 'Interview with a Vampire' and 'Midnight Bayou' were filmed there.
Select from a morning or afternoon departure time. The tour ends with a New Orleans hotel drop-off.
