New Orleans City Tour

[sfristoe]

I cruise in just 9 days!! We are flying in a day early and are considering a city tour. Anyone done one recently? Would you recommend it? There will be three of us (females) and we'd like to see the sights.

 

Thanks,

Shannon

Day or night?

I suggest both.

We did a Haunter Tour (walking tour) when we were there last January and really really liked it!

You might want to ride all of the street car lines (three separate ones, I believe) to get a feel for the city and see which area you would be most interested in visiting. You can buy a day pass very cheaply. Of course, the French Quarter area always gets a lot of tourists, and the Garden District area has beautiful old homes and buildings, a huge park and zoo.

We drove to New Orleans on the morning of our cruise embarkation and did a 2-2.5 hour French Quarter walking tour and really enjoyed it.

 

We ate a light lunch at Napoleon House on the corner of St. Louis and Chartres afterwards. There were no lines when we checked in for the cruise at about 1:30.
