Introduction
New Orleans is a city with flavor. Our food, music, culture and people all color the palate and create the appeal that makes our city unlike anywhere else. We have a style all our own. It’s why you came here in the first place. But navigating New Orleans can be sometimes difficult to do on your own. There are so many choices. That’s the beauty of our experiences – they are customly tailored to your interests, and led and planned by a local who is steeped in the cultural, cuisine and the traditions of the city.
Overview of the tour
Understand the city organically, its rhythms and rhymes, flavors and frequencies, at your own pace and in your own way – that’s the goal of our tours. Whether your ideal day is forking your way through our cultural delights, diving deeply into our cultural treasures, or imbibing cocktails and music – maybe a little bit of each – we will give you a New Orleans like no one else can.
Tour Highlights
Spend your day like a local, with a local. Visit artisan bakeries and barrooms where they might not know your name, but soon will. Find out of the way galleries and boutiques. Listen to live music that will move not just your feet, but your spirit. Eat fried chicken at a gas station and swear you were at a four star restaurant.
In New Orleans each day is different. On a Monday, we might meet for the best coffee and beignets you’ve ever had, followed by a walk through Armstrong Park to learn about our rich culture, and then hit the Treme to grab the best red beans and rice you’ve ever had for lunch. After that we may hit a rum tasting on our way to hear a brass band play.
And if we get together on a Sunday just know that we’re going to a second line. Don’t know what that is? Spend a day with us and find out.
