What makes Smartphone-Guided Walking Tour of French Quarter Sights & Hidden Stories a unique experience ?
We love the food of New Orleans – from cajun to creole (yes there is a difference) to the sweet beignets of Cafe du Monde – our hint – don’t try and get a table, just go to the takeout window and proceed to your next stop.
This part of Louisiana was originally settled because of its critical location on the Mississippi, come see the mighty river and learn about the history.
Some of our favorite places in cities are their public markets, and New Orleans is no exception with incredible food and art jumbled together in the eclectic center – explore away!
While currently closed due to the pandemic, you’ll peak through the iron gateway to see the oldest building in the city – built by the French king – and home for centuries to cloistered nuns.
Just across the street is the Beauregard-Keyes House, one of the best preserved examples of 1800s architecture in the city.
We could spend the entire tour talking about this one area. First, as one of the oldest structures remaining in New Orleans, this epitomizes “Creole Cottages” and as one of the oldest structures remaining in New Orleans, is rumored to be haunted several times over!
Voodoo is not about dolls and hexes. In fact, it is one of the oldest (and most misrepresented) spiritual beliefs in the world. Originated in Africa, the global diaspora of voodoo is complex and mystical.
The art and of New Orleans represent the agglomeration of cultures that influenced this part of America, from African sculpture to French Rococo – and the modern galleries along Royal Street are a feast for the eyes.
While it is unlikely that pirates actually hung out beside the cathedral and city hall, this street does have quite the history of intrigue and scandal, from Andrew Jackson to William Faulkner.
We finish our tour back at the imposing cathedral of St. Louis, that has weathered hurricanes, battles, and scandal to remain a symbol of New Orleans, a great American city.
