Tour description

Welcome to an exciting two-hour free walking tour of New Orleans! Located along the Mississippi River in Louisiana, New Orleans is famous for its vibrant music scene, rich history and unique blend of French, Spanish and Creole cultures.

Our journey begins in the historic French Quarter, the heart and soul of the city. As we stroll through the busy streets, you will be enchanted by the iconic architecture, wrought iron balconies and lively atmosphere of Bourbon Street and Royal Street.

Main points of interest:


  • St. Louis Cathedral : The oldest still active Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States, overlooking Jackson Square.


  • French Market : A lively market with food, local produce and crafts, perfect for a quick stroll and a bit of local flavour.


  • The Cabildo (from outside) : Historic building that once served as the seat of Spain's municipal government, located next to St. Louis Cathedral.


  • Old Ursuline Convent (from outside) : The oldest building in the Mississippi Valley, today home to a Catholic convent and museum.



  • Mississippi Riverfront : Take a walk along the river, enjoy the views, and maybe catch a steamboat passing by.



During our tour, I will share captivating stories and insights into New Orleans' rich history, cultural heritage, and legendary music scene. While two hours may only offer a snapshot of New Orleans' charm, this free walking tour promises to immerse you in the vibrant culture and timeless charm of this extraordinary city!
