DuPont & Company Tour Experiences, LLC is a New Orleans–based tour operator offering guided walking and private tours across the city.
The company presents a range of themed experiences that emphasize local history, ancestral narratives, and place-based storytelling.

Tours vary in length and format, with options that include 90-minute and two-hour journeys.
Guides are local to New Orleans and include storytellers with ancestral ties to neighborhoods and cemeteries visited on tours. That local connection informs tours that reference Storyville, former brothels, jazz and Mardi Gras histories, burial customs at Lafayette Cemetery #1, and the city’s responses to floods and Katrina-era changes. The New Orleans Witches Coven Tour explicitly notes guidance by a licensed tour guide who is also a practicing witch; the Witches of the French Quarter Tour is led by descendants of historical witches.
Groups can book standard public tours or reserve private, tailored two-hour and VIP experiences with flexible meeting logistics. Accessibility needs and requests for specific themes or meeting locations can be discussed at booking.
