New Orleans' only walking tour with a state-of-the-art audio system so you hear every word!

  • Take a "Stroll through Elegance" with a licensed tour guide through the "American" section of New Orleans!
  • The Garden District was built by the "barbarian" Americans to rival the architectural splendor of the Creoles' French Quarter.
  • This elegant area is known for its marvelous examples of Greek Revival and Italianate architecture.
  • View the homes of former Kings and Queens of Mardi Gras in this area-once part of the plantation owned by Bienville, the founder of New Orleans.
  • Hear fascinating stories about local author Anne Rice as you walk past one of her former homes.
  • Includes a refreshment stop at a local neighborhood cafe.
  • Visit Lafayette Cemetery, one of our "Cities of the Dead", and learn about the unusual above ground burial system (cemetery closed on Saturday afternoons, Sundays and some holidays).
Please Note: The audio system will not be used during inclement weather.

    Tour Commentary;
    With the wireless tour system, you can hear every word spoken by the tour guide clearly and distinctly no matter how noisy the environment. The tour guide wears a belt pack transmitter and head-worn microphone that they turn on at the start of the tour. You will be issued your own small receiver with a lightweight "over the ear" speaker. Simply turn them on and adjust the volume to a comfortable level. The system is also a favorite for the hearing impaired as they can increase the volume level to meet their individual needs. It improves the quality of the tour because no one has to crowd to the front of the group or strain to hear what the tour guide is saying. You can be up to 150 feet away and still receive the same clear high fidelity audio transmission.
