French Quarter Walking Tours
This two-hour walking tour takes you through the historic French Quarter where culture, music, food, architecture and even some ghostly galivanting combine to bring you a unique experience seldom seen in other modern day cities. We’ll present an historical timeline that starts back in the eighteenth century when Jean Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville first set foot here on the banks of the Mississippi and claimed this colony in the name of France. We’ll see how the Spanish influence molded the French Quarter until the Americans took over in 1803 forming a veritable gumbo of culture that affects all aspects of our city, including our music and food. We’ll talk about the tragedy of the enslaved and how voodoo still exists in the city.This tour is a mildly strenuous walk through the French Quarter that includes narrow sidewalks and some shade. A break is provided midway through the tour.Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays ONLY.
