Itinerary and highlights
Cuban Creations is a fun and elegant smoking bar in the French Quarter -- the only one of its kind! It has very comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, and great historic New Orleans cocktails as its specialties.
Hear the story of the pair of tragedies that transformed the French Quarter, and of Jackson's Square's bloody history as a penal colony and torture center.
We start our journey through the most haunted parts of the French Quarter. You'll see the incredible architecture, and hear the stories of the people who lived inside.
This humble shop, now a thriving bar, is believed to be a smuggling front for the pirate operations of Jean Lafitte, one of the most powerful pirates in history.
Hear the terrifying true story of the LaLaurie Mansion, the worst serial killers in New Orleans history, hidden in plain sight in high society!
See the convent of the Ursuline nuns, a place of untold legends and rumors in our early colonial history.
