Discover New Orleans on a Customized Private Tour

 Come explore New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood! Established in 1718, French, African, Spanish, and American influences have fabricated its Creole soul. Far from being a “tourist trap” or a manufactured experience, the French Quarter is a living, vibrant, colorful and musical neighborhood you carry with you in your heart long after you leave! 

 More than just lovely historic mansions among the moss-draped oaks, the Garden District tells the story of the elegant, wealthy American neighborhood of the 1800s and the empire-builders that built and lived there. We also visit ( but can't go inside) Lafayette Cemetery #1, a beautiful example of one of our above-ground cemeteries. 

 Learn some of the darker, scary, and just plain weird history of New Orleans during a nighttime meander through the old French Quarter. On a private tour, the stories can be tailored to the ages and interests of the participants. 

The Big Easy has never been known for its quiet acceptance of social norms, so we are able to share with you the stories of mobsters, madams, pirates, murderers, and alleged presidential assassins. This is a 306 year-long true crime story (some risque’ content). 

Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner, Truman Capote, and Frances Parkinson Keyes are among the great writers who have been drawn to the old-world charm and easy lifestyle of the French Quarter. We guide you through the places they lived, wrote, and gathered. We can make reading suggestions in advance. 

 Anne Rice, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Walt Whitman, and Mark Twain are a few of the great writers who have been inspired by the lushness and elegance of the Garden District. Let your guide show you where they lived, wrote, and set their stories. Advance reading suggestions can be offered. 

The neighborhoods of New Orleans offer an authentic glimpse into the culture of this amazing city. We offer private tours of Treme. Marigny, Bywater, Bayou St. John, and Algiers Point.

 Nuns, nurses, surgeons, faith healers, and voodoo doctors – New Orleans has a unique history of healing that is woven into our overall history, and we delve into the stories of healers on this French Quarter tour. 

 This tour was created with kids in mind! Shorter, colorful stories, music, hands-on activities, visual aids, and snacks are some of the tricks we use to entertain our youngest visitors. This tour is customized to the interests and ages of our guests.
