About this experience
New Orleans neighborhoods are unique and all offer a special look at Louisiana history.
The tour begins with the Creole quarters. In these neighborhoods (the Old Square, Faubourg Tremé, Fauboug Marigny, etc.) French and Creole were the dominant languages until the 1950s.
The tour ends in American neighborhoods (Lakeview, Carrolton, Garden District, etc.) founded in the early 19th century.
The presentation of each corner of the city is dotted with anecdotes about the famous characters who once lived in the City of Creoles. This minibus tour offers you an overview of the history of the area. The minibus stops several times more so that participants can get off to take pictures or simply see more closely the sights and monuments visited.
A stop is at Café Morning Call where you can taste the best donuts in New Orleans! It is a highlight of the visit for the children!
