The French Quarter History Tour
Overview
History ✦ Famous Places ✦ Epic Lives ✦ Hilarious Scandal
Share a local's love for 300 years of our city's history, and learn the stories of those famous locales you've always read about.
Hear about famous French Quarter figures who led epic lives, such as a pirate, a voodoo queen, and Baroness.
We bring the private tour experience to every tour we host, by limiting the experience to small groups, and personalizing every tour for you.
The early native settlers called the area Bulbancha -- "the land of many tongues" -- and used as a trading post. From there, on to the early French & Spanish colonies, all the way to the jazz age, and the birthplace of modern music!
We go beyond just names and dates, and share a connection to our city, and its famous stories, that you'll never forget.
