New Orleans French Quarter, Voodoo, Cemetery Tour or Cemetery Insiders Tour - New Orleans is one of the most fascinating cities in America, with rich history and voodoo legends to boot. We offer two options on this tour.  The daytime voodoo walking tour is perfect for those who want a look into the city’s darker side without getting too scared, as it takes place during daylight hours. 
On the second tour option you will tour New Orleans, a city with a lot of buried secrets.  This tour will help you uncover the intriguing secrets of three cemeteries. The BYOB Cemetery Insider option allows for journey through some historical graveyards in our favorite cemeteries with your beverage of choice (you can bring something more than just water). You'll hear stories behind thousands that are interred at these historic sites - like one about Katrina victims who were finally laid to rest after they lost everything else during Hurricane damage done to Louisiana twelve years ago today!

Learn about the origins and culture of jazz, including how it came to be in America before branching off into other forms like Brazilian Bossa Nova or French Swing Des Variation Bande Du precurseur which left behind its own distinct sound that can still be heard today as captivating music for dancing too! Stop at locations like Louis Armstrong Park.

Steamboat Natchez Evening Jazz Cruise with Dinner Option - The steamboat Natchez is taking a break, but her sister vessel will be replacing her. The same authentic experience of New Orleans at night can still be experienced on this romantic riverboat cruise! Journey through time as you paddle-wheel boat ride along the mighty Mississippi River while marveling at all that lights up around us from shoreline to skyline—even if there aren't any other boats out tonight. This excursion includes a Creole‐inspired dinner (if option selected) and live jazz music.
