Self-Guided Tour of New Orleans’ Historic French Quarter

Despre activitate

Step into 300 years of history on this self-guided audio walking tour through New Orleans' French Quarter, narrated by David Hedges.

Trace the neighborhood's journey from French colonial outpost through Spanish rule, American acquisition, and waves of Italian immigration, up to its rebirth as an artists' haven. Wander past Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in the US, duck into Pirates Alley, and hear the story behind Brennan's famous Bananas Foster. The tour ends at the bustling French Market, a trading hub since long before the French arrived. Created by local historian David Hedges of Nola Tour Guy, it offers well-researched, entertaining storytelling you can enjoy at your own pace.

Highlights:

  • Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in the US.
  • The Old Ursuline Convent, the oldest building in the French Quarter, dating to 1734.
  • Tales of pirates, Bananas Foster, and Jean Lafitte along atmospheric Pirates Alley.
