Historic French Quarter Walking Tour
Overview
The French Quarter is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the charm and culture of New Orleans. From its vibrant nightlife to its rich history, this iconic neighborhood has something for everyone. Famous for its beads and beers on Bourbon Street, the Vieux Carre's reality far surpasses its Mardi Gras reputation.
We’ll show you the real French Quarter beyond Bourbon Street, but we can’t NOT talk about Mardi Gras! Our tour ends at the Presbytere for those who wish to delve deeper into its exhibits for the history and meaning of Mardi Gras and how the city overcame Hurricane Katrina to keep celebrating this centuries-old tradition.
Marvel at the stunning architecture of the St. Louis Cathedral, one of the oldest cathedrals in the United States. Wander down Pirate Alley, a narrow way with tales of pirate lore. See homes of literary legends Tennessee Williams and William Faulkner. No tour of the French Quarter would be complete without a stroll down Bourbon Street.
