Explore the French Quarter, Tremé, and Marigny with a sixth-generation local guide on a private tour through 300 years of New Orleans history.

About this tour

Follow New Orleans’ story from its Mississippi River beginnings through the lively streets of the French Quarter, Tremé, and Marigny on a private New Orleans French Quarter walking or biking tour. A sixth-generation New Orleanian brings local perspective to 300 years of Creole history, culture, and tradition.

Start near the river and explore at an unhurried pace, moving through the neighborhoods in historical order. Along the way, stop at landmarks including Jackson Square, Congo Square, St. Augustine Church, Frenchmen Street, and the French Market. Hear about the city’s roots as a Native American trading post, its French colonial past, African cultural influences, music, and Mardi Gras traditions. Midway through, take a break for a bite at a local restaurant.

With a private guide, you can experience these historic districts through stories that connect their past to the city you see today. Choose a walking or biking format, then discover New Orleans French Quarter and its neighboring communities with a local who knows them firsthand.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 4 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 7.3. Top 37% in New Orleans means it ranks in the top 37% of tours in New Orleans by this score.
