This small-group van tour of New Orleans lasts about three hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off. The tour covers five key areas combined into one route: the French Quarter, Garden District, Katrina History, Historic Cemeteries, and New Orleans Architecture. The guide begins with a 20-minute stop in the French Quarter to explain its history and the founding of the city. Next, the group spends 10 minutes admiring the antebellum homes in the Garden District. Several notable neighborhoods and landmarks are passed by, including the National WWII Museum, Warehouse District with its museums and galleries, lively Magazine Street, the artsy Faubourg Marigny, and Frenchmen Street known for live jazz and nightlife. The tour continues past Tulane University with its oak-lined streets and Southern architecture, then stops for 15 minutes at Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery to discuss its unique above-ground burial practices. Along the way, the van drives through a scenic oak-shaded boulevard linking the French Quarter to City Park, which is also visited for 15 minutes to see the Besthoff Sculpture Garden. The route includes Bayou St. John, a calm waterway with views reflecting the city's Creole past, and ends with a pass through Uptown/Carrollton, known for grand mansions, oak streets, shopping on Magazine Street, and the St. Charles Avenue streetcar. The tour is suitable for those interested in local history and architecture. A local guide leads the group and hotel pickup and drop-off are included. Gratuities are not included. The tour runs regardless of weather, so appropriate clothing is advised.
