About
It's the best combination. We'll start off in heart of the old city, the French Quarter. Then we'll explore the Garden District with its beautiful mansions. We'll continue to ride along historic St. Charles Avenue, and take in the beautiful mansions.
We will stop for some lunch, we can discuss what kind of place you would like. I love to talk culinary history! Next, we'll go to City Park to see the majestic Live Oak trees. We can stop in an iconic New Orleans cemetery, if you choose.
We'll have transportation, but we’ll walk, in areas like the French Quarter, the cemetery & through the grove oak trees walking is ideal. It will be a five hour excursion featuring the highlights of the Crescent City. If you are on a cruise I can meet you where your cruise ship disembarks
