Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for the Waters of Katrina History Tour?

A: There aren't any strict age limits for the tour! It's designed to be accessible for everyone, but younger kids might not find it as engaging. I’d suggest it’s best for ages 10 and up, since they’ll appreciate the history and discussions more. And just a heads up, younger kids might need to be supervised.

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of the tour?

A: If it rains, the tour usually continues unless the weather is severe. They’ve got some solid plans for inclement weather, like using covered spaces and really engaging storytelling! Make sure to wear waterproof gear if the forecast looks grim.

Q: What should I wear for the Waters of Katrina History Tour?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking a bit! I’d recommend lightweight clothing, especially in summer, and maybe a hat for sun protection. The tour does have some stops where you can sit and rest too.

Just did the Waters of Katrina History Tour – Highly Recommend!

I recently took the Waters of Katrina History Tour in New Orleans and it was eye-opening! The guide was super knowledgeable about how water has shaped the city's history, and all the stories about Katrina were powerful. It ran for about two hours and left me with a deeper appreciation for NOLA’s resilience. I think it would be a perfect gift for anyone who loves learning about history or the environment. Has anyone else been on this tour?
