Overview

Travel in a comfortable minivan from the French Quarter through the Treme and along the historic mansion lined Esplanade Ave to the Bayou St. John neighborhood where we will trace an ancient portage road used by natives for thousands of years, and discover the very origins of why this site was selected by the French to build the city of New Orleans! Along the way we will stop at an old cemetery where we just might encounter some restless spirits! We'll then travel through the Bayou St. John neighborhood and see the oldest house in New Orleans and the bayou that made the city possible! We'll visit the very spot Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau once held her rituals, before going to City Park to see some of the oldest oak trees in the city. In City Park we'll stop and get some beignets at Cafe Du Monde! Then we'll stop in a nature reserve and look for alligators and exotic birds before traveling to the lakefront and the ruins of a 300 year old French fort!

    We drive through the Bayou St John neighborhood and along the bayou and learn about how the area where the city of New Orleans is currently located was chosen due to it's proximity to this bayou.

Wonderful Way to Experience and Learn About New Orleans!

Published on Nov, 2024

Highly recommend this tour. We have been visiting New Orleans for many years and wanted to branch out of our familiar areas. We have enjoyed The New Orleans Lifestyle social media content, so when they began offering tours, it was an obvious choice. There were three of us and we chose a private tour. It was perfect, we learned so much, saw so many things, and so enjoyed every minute. Can't wait to do the Sunset tour on our next visit. Thank you!

Bayou St. John, City Park, and much more.

Brians a great guide- Knowledgeable-Engaging- Fun- Quirky- and makes the tour flow easy to focus on. I will be booking with him again on my next visit.

Great tour

Brian did a great job showing us around and sharing the history of the area. Highly recommend taking a tour with him

Authentic Toit

Published on Sep, 2024

We were greeted with ice cold water bottles and traveled in a comfortable climate controlled mini-van from the French Quarter through the Treme neighborhood and along the historic mansion lined Esplanade Avenue to the Bayou St. John neighborhood where we we traced an ancient portage road used by natives for thousands of years, and discover the very origins of why this site was selected by the French to build the city of New Orleans! Along the way we will stop at an old cemetery where we saw where famous people lay. We traveled through the Bayou St. John neighborhood and see the oldest house in New Orleans and the bayou that made the city possible! Wel visited the very spot Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau once held her rituals, before going to City Park to see some of the oldest oak trees in the city. In City Park we stopped and got some beignets at Cafe Du Monde! Then we stopped in a nature preserve and look for alligators and exotic birds before traveling to the lakefront and the ruins of a 300 year old French fort! It was a treat going through the Treme neighborhood, b cause we watch the series on HBO or Hulu twice. We took lots of pictures on my Nikon camera and can't post cause I'm reviewing in my cell. Now we know more of New Orleans and can branch out to further explore these places. The tour guide is very passionate about his city and was really authentic. My husband and I highly recommend him. Thank you!

Best tour ever
