PRIVATE WALKING TOURS IN NEW ORLEANS

Learn the history and current scene of New Orleans walking along with a native New Orleanian.  
​Explore the French Quarter, Garden District, Uptown, Marigny, Bywater, Bayou St. John, Mid-City or the Lakefront.  
There are so many neighborhoods, and so much to see! 
​You can also build a tour around your interests, such as music, art, your ancestry or a specific cuisine, for example.  Call or email to discuss custom tours.
Want a shorter tour? I can condense some of these tours to finish in 75-90 minutes.

MARIGNY / BYWATER HISTORIC DISTRICT

 Just downriver of the French Quarter are some of the earliest Faubourgs (suburbs) of the city.  Bernard de Marigny, the former owner of the neighborhood's land, was truly a bon vivant. We will walk through Faubourg Marigny, view historic buildings, discuss music, and continue downriver to the Bywater.  Music and quirky art venues abound, and we will stop by some of them.
​2 HOUR TOUR.

BAYOU ST. JOHN/ESPLANADE/CITY PARK

 You can take the Canal St. streetcar to City Park/Museum, the last stop. We'll head into City Park, grab some coffee/beignets, see the sculptures, then go down Esplanade and into St. Louis Cemetery #3 if you'd like. We'll then view historic homes along the Bayou, ending the tour at a wonderful place that's been making po-boys for over 100 years, so you can eat lunch or get a drink.  
​2 HOUR TOUR.

It was such a fine spring day 
down Louisiana way,
with fragrance divine 
and such magnificent regalia.
Oh, so fine, 
Azalea.
Chorus from Louis Armstrong's song "Azalea"
