The history of the French Quarter is more LGBTQ than people know! It's also a very emotional one with many ups and downs. Because of this we limit the tour to just 9 guests so that you can comfortably get to know your guide and ask questions! The LGBT Queer History walking tour delves deep into the complicated past of gay New Orleans. You learn about the struggles faced by gay community members over the decades, such as brutal beatings, disowned sons and daughters, and the Upstairs Lounge fire that tragically killed over 30 people. But with each struggle, you hear about hope. From gay Mardi Gras krewes to supportive clergy members to the creation of gay rights political groups, New Orleans now lets “you be you,” in all your glory!

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the LGBTQ Small Group History Tour?

A: There’s no specific age restriction for this tour, but it’s generally geared towards adults since the topics discussed can be quite sensitive. If you’re thinking about bringing younger folks, just be prepared for some heavy history. It's really informative and emotional, so older teens might enjoy it too!

Q: What should I wear for the French Quarter history tour?

A: Comfort is key! Wear comfortable shoes because you’ll be walking a lot. Light clothing is great for the summer heat in New Orleans, but don’t forget a hat or sunscreen! If it looks like rain, a light rain jacket might come in handy since it's a walking tour.

Q: Is it possible to reschedule if I buy this as a gift and the recipient can't make it?

A: Yes, absolutely! If the recipient can’t make it, they can usually reschedule with the tour provider. Just reach out to New Orleans Secrets Tours a few days in advance. They’re pretty flexible, but it’s always better to give them a heads-up.

Thinking about gifting the LGBTQ Small Group History Tour in NOLA!

Hey everyone! I’m planning to buy the LGBTQ history tour in the French Quarter for my partner's birthday. We love exploring history and social justice, but I’m curious if anyone has done this specifically. How was the guide? Was it really engaging? Also, how emotional did the tour get?

Just did the LGBTQ History Tour in the French Quarter—so impactful!

I went on the LGBTQ Small Group History Tour last week, and it blew me away! The guide was fantastic, super engaging, and really knew their stuff. I learned so much about the struggles the community faced in New Orleans and the triumphs. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves history and wants to understand the cultural context of the area. Plus, it was nice having a small group to ask questions!
