Katrina & New Orleans City Tour
The City Tour provides essential information needed to truly understand New Orleans and why it is the most European city in the United States.
New Orleans was born in a bend of the Mississippi River in 1718. She’s grown since then, of course. Changed a great deal, though not as much as the world around her and she can be as stubborn as she is gracious. But she’s seen a lot, experienced a lot, both good times and bad. And boy does she have a story to tell.
Our coaches are equipped with individually controlled air conditioning, reclining seats, television monitors, magazine racks, window shades, PA systems and restrooms.
