Infectious outbreaks have plagued New Orleans for centuries, and if you're a bit curious about the strange history of our city, you'll want to look no further than our relationship with disease. We'll take you on a historic and strange tour of the squalid conditions of mass disease that New Orleans has encountered. As well, we'll tell inspiring tales of coping with filthy and foul conditions. Walk with us to uncover how epidemics such as Yellow Fever, Cholera, and more have infected our inhabitants and how our resilient city recovered. We'll talk about odd medical practices of long ago, including how voodoo and religion played a part in trying to contain the "uncontainable." Included in the tour is a walk through the French Quarter to see where it all went down.

Dane was very knowledgeable. He made the tour fascinating and informative. He conveyed his genuine love of history and the impact disease made on shaping the culture of the city from ancient times, through scourges of the colonial period, to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, to the modern day.

Superb two hours. Tour guide Dane was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and helped me to get ‘under the skin’ of New Orleans. I left feeling educated.
