45 minutes in Jackson Square
Overview
This is the only tour that focuses on the heart of New Orleans - Jackson Square! There are so many stories to tell in this one iconic block. At first a gathering place for Native Americans, then a tiny French outpost, the Square holds the collective memories of all the people who have made this diverse city what it is today. Choctaw, French, African, Spanish, American, Italian, Vietnamese, Caribbean, and more have contributed to the Creole culture that makes this place unlike any other. We are passionate about this city and we love telling our stories.
Today, the Square is a community gathering place as well as the best place to see and buy great art, eat great food, and hear authentic jazz played by multi-generation musicians.
This tour covers a very small area and the Square has lots of benches, so it is particularly suited to anyone with limited mobility (or simply on a hot day!). Since it is only 45 minutes, you can squeeze it in among the rest of your New Orleans itinerary.
