When Louisiana was purchased by the United States in 1803 the dynamics of the city began to shift. Trace the journey of American settlement in a foreign French Creole world. As we journey into the Uptown American Sector, we stop to learn about the uptown innovators who created Jazz at the Rampart-Perdido Corridor.
From there you're off to learn about the Garden Districts evolution from a sugar plantation through its development after the Louisiana Purchase into the extravagant faubourg that you see today. Trees that grow Mardi Gras beads, American history, antebellum mansions, Lafayette Cemetery #1, and a charm that only our city can bestow on its visitors.
Join us on this urban adventure through one of the most majestic neighborhoods in New Orleans!

Our guide, Barrett was knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional. My husband and I learned so much about the history of New Orleans and specifically the Garden District. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is the bikes we used on our 3 + hour tour need to be upgraded. Our bodies really felt the poor suspension of the bikes at the end.
Other than that point, we would highly recommend the tour.
