Featuring an eclectic blend of rich Creole heritage and French influence, and with soft notes of Jazz playing at each street corner, New Orleans is unlike any other U.S. city. Immerse yourself in all that makes the Big Easy stand out on this hand-crafted luxury tour. Your experience begins with a private walking tour of New Orleans’ tranquil Garden District. With your historian guide by your side, explore the quiet lanes dotted with enchanting mansions and age-old oak trees, and admire the perfectly manicured gardens as you are introduced to the history of this Southern city. Continue with a visit to the magnolia-shaded Lafayette Cemetery #1 and stroll among its crumbling tombstones and mausoleums. In the evening settle into your front row seats at the renowned Preservation Hall and enjoy a live Jazz performance. Start the following day with a private tour focusing on the African American history of New Orleans and gain a new perspective on the narrative of race in the South. In the afternoon embark on a culinary journey through New Orleans and sample some of the local staples, such as red beans and rice, po-boys, gumbo and chargrilled oysters. Your adventure continues as you venture out on a bayou alongside a fishing guide captain.
