About this tour

Explore New Orleans’ French Quarter on a self-guided walk that moves at your pace. Start at the Joan of Arc Statue, known locally as Joanie on her Pony, then let the walking tour app guide you through the neighborhood’s historic streets and lively corners.

Along the way, discover Dutch Alley, Café Du Monde, Jackson Square, Pirates Alley, and the French Market. Hear stories about the area’s oldest bar and jazz club, the creator of the muffuletta, and the underground location of a vampire speakeasy. Pause whenever you like, set your own schedule, and enjoy the freedom to explore without a human guide. After completing the walk, you can listen to the tour again later; access never expires, so you can return and take it as many times as you like.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.08 from 13 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New Orleans
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.4.
