Key attractions

The key attraction in New Orleans is by far the French Quarter, with its shops, clubs, restaurant and high level of activity both day and night. Where else can you walk the streets, in party mode, day and night, with a “hurricane” in hand?
The history of New Orleans is also a major attracting, with old homes, museums, Voodoo, and cemeteries to visit. You can find tours of the history of New Orleans by van and by horse drawn carriage. In the evening, there’s nothing quite like the buggy ride “Tombs and Graves Tours”.

Having fun

New Orleans is all about having fun. If you visit during Mardi Gras, you will have more fun than just about anywhere on earth. Pop into any jazz joint and enjoy some of the best music ever.
This city is known for its food, especially Cajun and Creole cooking. The restaurants here are another reason to visit this city. For a fun time, try taking a Restaurant Walking Tour, where you visit four to six of New Orleans most famous restaurants in the French Quarter. Not only do you get to meet the chef, but also taste his featured dish. It’s also common and accepted to walk this tour with “beverage” in hand.
A visit to one or more of the “Big Easy” most famous bars and restaurants is in order for all visitors. Some of the more famous “haunts” you might visit are Pat O’Brian’s for their famous “Hurricane”, Arnaud’s for a “French 75”, and for the brave, a “Hand Grenade” at Tropical Isle.
Something you probably never thought of doing in New Orleans is taking a guided “Urban Kayak Tour”. That’s right, you can paddle through some of the old historic sections of New Orleans without fighting the crowds.
