French Quarter Walking Tour
Take a walking tour through New Orleans’ iconic French Quarter.
Founded in 1718 by the French, the French Quarter, or Vieux Carré as it was once known, is New Orleans’ oldest neighbourhood, and the city’s historic heart. Spanning roughly 13 by 7 blocks it is renowned for its vibrant nightlife situated around the world-famous Bourbon Street – a name synonymous with Jazz music – and houses some of the most beautiful old-world architecture in the United States.
On a guided walking tour, you’ll be privy to the neighbourhood’s incredible past, even walking through locked doors into secluded courtyards and homes of families who have lived in the French Quarter for generations. Discover how this once Creole stronghold has transformed with successive governments, changing society, a civil war, the birth of Jazz and the modern Americanisation of New Orleans.
