The morning air on St. Charles Avenue feels like a memory being pulled into the present: magnolia-scented, warm, a streetcar's bell folding into the hum of the city. On a private tour with a local guide, travelers slide through neighborhoods that read like chapters of New Orleans history — shotgun houses and wrought-iron balconies give way to broad oak-lined avenues and the River's low pull.
