Description

Discover the highlights of New Orleans on a private driving tour with a licensed guide. Explore the French Quarter and the Garden District and see the contrast between cosmopolitan New Orleans and the rustic life on the plantation. Start with pickup from your hotel or the port and head to the French Quarter. Founded by the French in 1718, the French Quarter is New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood. Created from centuries of influence from immigrants across the globe, the Vieux Carré tells ages-old stories of trade, food, drink, architecture, wars, and pirates. Next, head to the Garden District. Laid out in 1833 and annexed by New Orleans in 1852, the neighborhood is most famous for its stunning architecture. See grand mansions, the St. Charles Streetcar, Magazine Street shopping, famous universities, and beautiful homes and gardens. After exploring the city, head to the Destrehan Plantation. Experience the contrast between cosmopolitan New Orleans and the rustic life on the plantation. See the majestic oaks and learn about the history of the plantation before returning to the city.
