There are so many neighborhoods, and so much history to discuss and places 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 the typical 2 hour tour to finish in 90 minutes.

MARIGNY HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD- NEXT TO THE FRENCH QUARTER

 We'll meet at the edge of the Quarter to start the tour of the Marigny, the earliest faubourg (suburb) downriver of New Orleans. Bernard de Marigny is the bon vivant who laid out the street grid and subdivided the land in 1806. While touring Faubourg Marigny, we'll see and discuss its history, music, food, lots the street art and architecture .  Music clubs and quirky art venues abound, and since it's your own private tour, we can stop in whichever ones you'd like.
​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.

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"
