Take a walking and storytelling tour through New Orleans' famous French Quarter. See famous landmarks and learn about local history as you make your way from the jazz fountain to Jackson Square, hearing fascinating stories along the way.
The night before the tour, your guide will send an email with their photo, contact information, and directions to the meeting spot. The tour begins at the jazz fountain at the crossroads of Decatur and Dumaine Streets in the historic French Market district. These are small-group tours, making for a more comfortable, customised experience.

After a brief overview of New Orleans history, your guide will lead you around the oldest area in the city, and point out the locations that have made New Orleans famous: St. Louis Cathedral, Jackson Square, and the Mississippi River - and lesser-known treasures such as the French Market, an almost 300 year old convent, and courtyards hidden behind the 18th and 19th century buildings.
Your guide will also be an enthusiastic storyteller, and the stories about this area are like no other. Established as a French colonial outpost in 1718, its earliest inhabitants were the quirky, gritty, fascinating types who are still attracted to it today. Every block has a storey which will be shared with you.

The tour concludes in or next to Jackson Square, but it is by no means over. Your guide is full of recommendations for enjoying the area and the city further. When you finish the French Quarter tour, you will be energised to go out and explore this jewel of a area even further, and the knowledge you gained walking with your guide will only deepen your understanding of New Orleans, and stay with you long after you have left its quaint streets and alleys.
