Drag Queen & Sex Work Tour of the French Quarter with Shameless and Humorous Guide

About this experience

What you'll do:
Join a walk by the shells of old brothels, burlesque clubs, and historic gay bars on a tour that places them and the cultures within them at the center of the stage. Prepare to delve into the rich history of sex work, the art of burlesque, the lives of queer community, and the pivotal role that New Orleans played in shaping these cultural movements. Your tour will be guided by a shameless and humorous host who will regale you with tales that are both entertaining and informative.

Why we love it for your party:
Not only is the tour the perfect way to learn the history of the city, but it's also a perfect afternoon experience with drinking, walking, and learning the history of the clubs before you hit them up.

About this experience partner:
Nola Drag Tours is a one-woman project run by Quinn Laroux, a drag performer, among many other things, and a proud trans woman. She started the tour in 2019 after becoming disillusioned with how little she felt included in the history typically told on walking tours and decided to take matters into her own hands. The tour has over 500 5-star reviews on multiple apps.

Additional information:

This was great! Quin was wonderful and so knowledgeable. She was easy to follow and so engaging with our group. We had some people with health issues (back pain & stomach pain) and she made sure they were comfortable. This was my favorite tour of the trip! You won’t regret booking this.

Best History Tour ever. I'm literally a person with a degree in history. I take factory tours and history and cultural tours for fun and this one tops them all. By centering folks who have rarely been centered on and reminding us of where our favorite things like jazz music really came from, this tour takes the cake. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Plus is was hilarious.

Quinn’s tour was informative, witty, and important. Our group learned so much about the “forgotten history” of the area. She had us laughing and crying within the same tour! You will not be disappointed booking with Quinn. She was a delight to have met. Thank you Quinn!
