Enjoy a leisurely walk around this beautiful, storied city, seeking out the friendly characters, historic spots and gorgeous architecture that is New Orleans. Visit the oldest neighbourhood in the city, the beautiful French Quarter to learn about the diverse colonial heritage, and the notable literary and cinematic landmarks, including where greats like William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams wrote some of their famous works among the nation’s most historic buildings. Your guide will introduce you to Dixie jazz, of course, the annual Mardi Gras when over a million partygoers descend on New Orleans for the world's best street parade (an event that brings an incredible $160 billion into the local economy). Then, immerse yourself in the neighbourhood where one of jazz music's greatest talents grew up. At the end of your tour, pop into a local hot spot off the tourist drag, where your guide will recommend more ways to immerse yourself with the real locals of the Big Easy.

Thinking of gifting the Private Half-Day Walking Tour in NOLA!

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the Private Half-Day Highlights Walking Tour in New Orleans to my parents. They love history and music, so it seems perfect. Has anyone done this? The idea of visiting the French Quarter and seeing the jazz roots sounds awesome! What do you think?

Just completed the NOLA Private Walking Tour - wow!

I just got back from the Private Half-Day Walking Tour in New Orleans and I can't recommend it enough! Our guide shared so many cool stories about the French Quarter and we got to see some hidden gems. Plus, learning about where authors like Faulkner wrote was mind-blowing. Definitely a must-do!
