Flavour of New Orleans

New Orleans Sightseeing Package

(3 days/2 nights or 4 days/3 nights) 

Legendary New Orleans is one of America's most colorful cities. Riverboats, jazz, Creole cuisine and Mardi Gras have given 'The Big Easy' its flamboyant reputation, and that rich heritage continues today. Stop for a cafe au lait and beignets at a sidewalk cafe. Music is always nearby, supplied by the tolling bells of St. Louis Cathedral, the clanging of streetcars and the rhythms of Dixieland Jazz. Take a lazy ride down the Mississippi on an authentic paddlewheel riverboat or discover the mystery of the swamps and bayous.

We include the New Orleans City Tour giving a fascinating introduction to the endless variety that is New Orleans includes such highlights as the historic Esplanade Avenue and St. Louis Cemetery, referred to as the 'city of the dead', because of its above-ground tombs. You will proceed alongside Lake Pontchartrain and the yacht harbor to St. Charles Avenue. Pass the Superdome, enter the French Quarter and see Jackson Square and the architecture that makes New Orleans unique. (Note: Commentary in English only).
