Itinerary

French Quarter

Passing by

Glide through the narrow, historic streets of the city’s oldest neighborhood while soaking in its unique mix of French, Spanish, and Creole architecture.

You’d see Jackson Square, the heart of the Quarter, with the iconic St. Louis Cathedral towering over it. Nearby, you’d pass the Mississippi Riverfront, with views of the steamboats and lively riverwalk. The tour would also take you down Royal Street and Bourbon Street, where you’d experience the contrast between elegant art galleries, antique shops, and the world-famous nightlife. Along the way, your guide would share stories of pirates, voodoo, jazz, and Mardi Gras traditions, bringing the history and culture of New Orleans to life.
St. Louis Cathedral

Passing by

It’s the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States, originally built in the 1700s and reconstructed in 1850. Its striking triple spires overlook Jackson Square, making it one of the most photographed sites in the city.
Bourbon Street

Passing by

Bourbon Street is the most famous street in the French Quarter, known worldwide for its vibrant nightlife, neon lights, live jazz, and endless bars. By day, you’ll see historic French and Spanish colonial architecture with wrought-iron balconies draped in beads.
St. Louis Cemetery No. 1

Passing by

Dating back to the late 1700s, it’s famous for its above-ground tombs—often called “cities of the dead”—built this way because of the city’s high water table. The most visited is St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, where you’ll find ornate family mausoleums and the resting places of famous figures like Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau.
Frenchmen Street

Passing by

Frenchmen Street gives you a taste of the true New Orleans music culture, where jazz was born and still thrives today.
French Market

Passing by

The French Market is the oldest marketplace in New Orleans, dating back to 1791.

Today it’s a vibrant open-air market where you’ll find local crafts, art, souvenirs, spices, fresh produce, and food stalls serving everything from beignets to Cajun specialties. It stretches along the Mississippi River and captures the spirit of the city’s trading past, blending French, Spanish, Caribbean, and Creole influences.
