About this tour

Discover New Orleans through the stories woven into its French Quarter. This 90-minute New Orleans walking tour explores the central sights around Jackson Square and the French Market, where the city’s past comes alive through tales of early Mississippi traders, hard-edged ruffians, organized crime bosses, and crooked politicians.

From the park’s raised area, look toward St. Louis Cathedral on one side and the Mississippi River on the other before setting out through the neighborhood.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1. Top 48% in New Orleans means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in New Orleans by this score.
