The French Quarter tour meets at one of our locals favorite coffee shops located right next to the New Orleans Jazz Museum and US Mint, a place where locals spend time socializing, and eventually we make our way into the POP of the city! The journey begins with a history of the settlements, from the Native Americans to the French, Spanish, and eventually, the Americans. We walk in a locals’ section of town first and talk about the amazing architecture along the way, as well as important landmarks. See Royal Street, where the art and antique stores are, the street musicians and other performers, and walk into the Old Square (Jackson Square) and talk about the amazing history that started right there! See the beautiful Saint Louis Cathedral and the buildings that frame it, such as the Cabildo and the Presbytere. We also visit the Mighty Mississippi River, the reason we exist today. Be dazzled by the brilliant colors of the beautiful architectural styles of the various cultures who settled here.
