Visit one of our historic cemeteries, referred to as “Cities of the Dead,” and learn about this unique above ground burial system. Shiver your timbers at stories of voodoo and piracy on Bayou St. John, the waterway used by Jean Lafitte and his band of pirates! We make our way to the shores of Lake Pontchartrain where you can marvel at the longest bridge over water in the world, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. Relish the view of the ultra-exclusive, world famous Garden District, and admire the stately mansions and the homes of former Kings and Queens of Mardi Gras before viewing Tulane and Loyola Universities across from Audubon Park. This park is home to one of the top five zoos in the nation, The Audubon Zoo.
Immerse yourself in the culture and history of the city as we follow the path of the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, which was the oldest continuously operating passenger railway system in the world until service was disrupted by Hurricane Katrina. Immerse yourself in the vitality and history of this fascinating city and you will never want to leave!
