Discover the vibrant history of New Orleans on the Creole French Quarter Walking Tour. Founded in 1718 by Jean Baptist Le Moyne de Bienville, this city sits at the edge of a river amid sprawling swamps. It’s older than the United States itself and brimming with stories waiting to be uncovered.
During this 2-hour guided walk, you'll explore the historic VIEUX CARRE, soaking in landmarks, sites, and monuments that tell the story of a diverse cultural tapestry. From the Louisiana Colony’s origins to the lively streets of the French Quarter, you'll see firsthand how various peoples—Indigenous, French, African, Spanish, German, Irish, Italian, Cajun, and Haitian—shaped this unique city.
Experience the enduring Creole culture that still thrives today. Highlights include the historic Orleans Ballroom and the oldest Catholic church in America, where the sanctuary of Henriette Delille—the founder of one of the oldest African-American religious orders—resides. This tour offers an authentic glimpse into the traditions and heritage that make New Orleans truly special.
