Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the New Orleans Historical Walking Tour? Is it mostly indoors or outdoors?

A: You’ll definitely want to wear comfortable shoes since it’s a walking tour through the streets of the French Quarter. It’s mostly outdoors, so dress for the weather—light layers in summer or a light jacket in the cooler months. I’d suggest a hat and sunscreen if it’s sunny! Enjoy the jazz and the sights!

Q: Are there age limits for the tour? Can I bring my kids?

A: Kids are definitely welcome on the tour! It’s a family-friendly experience, but do keep in mind that it's about two hours long, and there’s a bit of walking involved. If your kids are up for a little history and exploring, they’ll love it. Plus, the guide makes it entertaining!

Q: What happens if it rains? Will the tour get canceled?

A: The tour usually goes on rain or shine! They often provide ponchos if it’s light rain, but if there's heavy weather, they’ll reschedule for you. Just check their policy when you book—DuPont and Company is pretty flexible with that.

Just got back from the New Orleans Historical Walking Tour!

Wow, what an amazing experience in the French Quarter! Our guide was so knowledgeable and really made the history come alive. We wandered through streets with the most beautiful architecture and heard some fantastic jazz along the way. Plus, I never realized how many influences shaped NOLA until now. If you’re considering this as a gift, do it! It’s 100% worth it. Just be ready to walk a bit!
