We will guide you on tour from the mighty Mississippi River, to buildings older than our country, to present-day curious and unique locales. Understand why people become captivated with our city and keep coming back for more.

Why we love it for your party: 

• The people, the architecture, the must-see spots (We are proud to celebrate New Orleans as being way more than just Bourbon Street —a New Orleans history & hotspots tour will open up guests to the myriad shining facets of this jewel of a city)

• More than just history (Many important world historical events took place here, but there is a vibe here unlike any other place, and this French Quarter tour allows us to look “under the hood.”)

• New Orleans has the party (But beyond that, let’s talk about all the other aspects here. We are the birthplace of Jazz and Rock and Roll and our cuisine is heralded around the world)

• A unique look at NOLA’s wonderful and weird past (A tour like this you’ve never seen)
