Cultural Tour - Solo Travelers & Couples

Some say New Orleans isn’t a city in the southern United States, but instead the most northern city in the Caribbean, and when you come to understand the unique blend of cultures that formed and shaped our city over three centuries, it is hard to disagree. While we are certainly steeped in some of the traditions of the American South, our swaying palm trees, relaxed pace, French and Spanish architect and live Afro-Caribbean tinged music and cuisine have more in common with Havana than Savannah. New Orleans is a welcoming place and a somewhat mysterious place all at the same time. And it is best explored with someone who knows the ins and outs and the peculiar rhythms of the beautiful Crescent.

Overview of the Tour

Have you ever been to a second line parade? Or seen the Skull and Bones Gang wake up the neighborhood on Mardi Gras morning? Or shared the bounty of a St Joseph’s Day Altar in the morning before heading out to see the Black Masking Indians on St Joseph’s Night? Have you wandered the Bywater and seen the eclectic art galleries and thrift stores, and caught a late night show afterwards by a local brass band? Or went to a fish fry at a neighborhood bar that resembles someone’s living room? These are the experiences we offer. Experiences that aren’t just tours, but initiations into the culture of our great city.
