History, Architecture, and Creole Culture - this is a crash course on New Orleans! This is the best tour for people who want to know everything there is to know about the Crescent City. Our 2 hour, historical-walking tour has plenty of fun facts and true stories to entertain even the veteran visitor to the city.

We will answer often asked questions such as: • Why build a city in a swamp? • Why is it call it a po-boy sandwich? • Was there really a streetcar named Desire?

The historic landmarks you will visit are: • Jackson Square and the Saint Louis Cathedral • Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Tavern • First Pharmacy in the United States • Old Ursuline Convent, the oldest building in New Orleans
