Just did the Mississippi walking tour and it was amazing!

I took the Walking Tour on the Mississippi last weekend and wow, what a fantastic experience! The guide shared some really deep stories about the city’s history, from the First Peoples to the French settlers. The ferry ride was a nice touch, and walking along the riverfront was beautiful. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in New Orleans culture!
