Day 1

You’ll arrive in New Orleans, and we’ll start by 2PM.
We will start with a quick welcome session and then head out to explore. We will do an intense French Quarter walking tour, passing all the staples like, Jackson Square, St Louis Cathedral and of course Cafe Du Monde for Beignets. But we will also cover some of the more obscure stops, like Madame LaLauries mansion, said to be the most haunted house in the city! It’s become popular again because of Madame LaLaurie becoming a main character on American Horror Story.
