On the French Quarter tour segment of our private excursion, you’ll walk along historic streets lined with colorful buildings with cast-iron balconies and learn about the city’s history as a melting pot of cultures as well as the resulting food scene New Orleans is famous for today.

While sightseeing in New Orleans, other landmarks we’ll want to explore on foot include Jackson Square and the gorgeous 18th century St. Louis Cathedral. Your guide will give you a history tour of this significant central location of the city, including its symbolic statues and unique architecture.

One of the most iconic sights in New Orleans, this beautiful cathedral has stood here solemnly since 1794 and holds the history of crusading Catholics, past popes interred within, and one infamous bombing.

So much history is packed into the crowded and lively Bourbon Street, famous for its raucous bars, diverse culture, and associations with the city’s early jazz scene.

Feel free to take your time for some on-tour shopping at The French Market, the market is the oldest of its kind in the United States. We may catch some live music here before heading to the New Orleans Jazz Museum, exhibiting the history and instruments of the city’s early jazz greats.

For those wanting to get the most out of NOLA’s music scene, we can include in our city walk stops at Louis Armstrong Park and one of the city’s most historic jazz joints, Preservation Hall.

The Garden District is one such neighborhood, its streets lined with old trees and grand historic mansions. After we take in the incredible Antebellum architecture and hear about the area’s connection to Hollywood, we’ll head to Magazine Street to see what early life was like for the city’s working class, showing New Orleans’ iconic shotgun-style homes.

Let us know in advance if you have any music fans in your group so we can make a tour stop at this venerable institution that preserves the history and culture of jazz in New Orleans!

Touring in New Orleans is all well and good, but how about shopping? Your guide will be happy to take you to Magazine Street’s finest arts and antique shops and let you browse during or after your tour!

Much like Mid-City’s City Park, this 340-acre green space is
home to institutions, outdoor art, and Louisiana wildlife. On our private driving tour of New Orleans, this could be a chance to stretch your legs and enjoy the Tree of Life or the campus of Loyola University abutting the northern edge of the park.

Set inside the parameters of City Park, this exceptional
botanical garden contains thousands of plant varieties and themed gardens, from tropical and Louisiana native to Japanese and prehistoric.

Enjoy a drive through this eclectic neighborhood, with its
variety of restaurants, historic cemeteries, iconic streetcars along Canal Street, and the touching Hurricane Katrina Memorial.

Within the borders of this 1,300-acre park, you’ll find plenty
of places for photo ops under the ancient oak trees festooned with draping Spanish moss or over one of the stone bridges spanning a meandering stream. Your New Orleans tour guide will point out major park attractions, including the New Orleans Botanical Garden, New Orleans Museum of Art, and the storied Dueling Oaks.

This fine arts institution, the oldest in the city, sits in the
heart of City Park and houses a collection of nearly 40,000 objects! Build in a visit with your tour guide or arrange tickets to enjoy before or after your private driving tour with us!
