FRENCH QUARTER - Since 1718 Truman Capote once described New Orleans as, “of all secret cities, the most secretive, the most unlike, in reality, what an outsider is permitted to observe.” New Orleans’ French Quarter may be its most secretive neighborhood. Here, in an area famous for its raucous nightlife and hedonistic abandon, there lives a community in love with the area’s timelessness, its beautiful buildings and handcrafted details. The French Quarter is one of the oldest communities in the U.S. I will take you through the French Quarter and give you a history lesson and show you the historic landmarks like Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral - 1727, The French Market - 1791, Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar - 1772, Royal St., Frenchman St., Centuries Old Restaurants and Multi-Million Dollar Creole Cottages. If a day/time slot is not available and for groups larger than 4, contact me, and I will try to accommodate you at nolabig4.c0m SEE MY VIATOR/TRIPADVISOR REVIEWS!
GARDEN DISTRICT - Since 1832 The romance blooms as the afternoon is spent exploring memories of New Orleans’ antebellum past, gazing at secluded mansions, wandering down the brick lined sidewalks. Its canopy of oak trees is world-famous, while its characteristic gardens of hibiscuses, crepe myrtles and angel trumpets, make it one of New Orleans' most beautiful neighborhoods. The Garden District has worked its magic. I will share with you the history of the Garden District from the early 1800's. You will see Multi-Million $ Local & Celebrity Antebellum Mansions of Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, Anne Rice, American Horror Story, Cornstalk Fence and Curious Case of Benjamin Button Homes. There is also Lafayette Cemetery since 1833, St. Charles Ave. Streetcar since 1835, Mardi Gras since 1857 & Commander’s Palace Restaurant since 1893.

CITY PARK - Since 1854 City Park as magical & unique as the city of New Orleans. This 1,300-acre outdoor oasis has enchanted New Orleanians since 1854, making it one of the nation’s oldest urban parks. The crown jewel of City Park is the world’s largest stand of mature southern live oaks, which includes a Grand Oak that dates back over 800 years. These unique trees are known for their distinctive sculptural shape - some of the oldest trees have limbs that are twice as long as the oak is tall. You will also see the Museum of Art, Sculpture Gardens, Big Lake, Botanical Gardens, Children’s Museum, Amusement Park, Story Land, Miniature Golf, Café Du Monde since 1862 and the Cypress Swamp from 1718 that New Orleans was built upon.
