Private New Orleans City Tour with Local Expert Guide
Overview
We will explore the original suburbs of the old town… the hip Marigny, the funky Bywater and Bayou St John, the true gateway to New Orleans. We will ride through Tremé, the birthplace of Jazz, and so much more.
Marc will cover the entire city, the American sector of uptown, and cities now turned neighborhoods of Lafayette and the Irish Channel.
Your guide knows all the right people and has both relationships and insight into this rich culture.
If you choose, we often get out and make a few stops while exploring New Orleans!
