Itinerary
Pass by: Go beyond the typical city tour to experience and see New Orleans like a local. After a New Orleans hotel pickup, relax on board an enclosed, air-conditioned minibus that runs every day, rain or shine. Pass through the French Quarter and travel past mansions along Esplanade Avenue.
Stop in City Park for a visit to the Morning Call Cafe for coffee and beignets.
Pass by: In addition, see the Ninth Ward, a neighborhood devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
Pass by: View the Garden District with its vast mansions that line pristine boulevards and Faubourg Treme — one of the oldest African-American neighborhoods in the country, dating back to the 1700s.
Pass by: Pass through the Warehouse District, home of the internationally acclaimed World War II Museum, and by the Contemporary Arts Center, one of the country’s first art institutions. The tour also makes a brief stop at a cemetery to see the city’s distinctive, above-ground tombs.
Then travel to the beautiful Oak Alley Plantation, located on the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Movies such as 'Interview with a Vampire' and 'Midnight Bayou' were filmed there. Select from a morning or afternoon departure time. The tour ends with a New Orleans hotel drop-off.

Traveler reviews
Bring snacks
Nice tour sites and guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Only negative is there no break for lunch or despite it lasting from 8am-5pm. Thats a long day without option for food, thankfully we brought snacks. The beignet/coffee shop at the park stop was only Option and it took us 30 min in line and wasn’t even great, but that wasn’t until 4pm ish on tour at the end.
Great Experience
Guide was very insightful. Guide was always caring about the guest. Great experience and the tour was on time.
Wonderfully preserved...
Wonderfully preserved property. Be prepared for the emotional effects of the history that this property played a part in during slavery. Would have preferred to have more time to view the exhibits and gift shops.
