    Got into NOLA @ 11 and booked this for 2. Best way to start the trip! Highly recommend! Wonderful knowledge of history from the female perspective! Guide was funny and engaging. By the end we were able to navigate the quarter fairly easily and had a good idea of what we wanted to do/experience in the coming days.

    Spectacular tour full of many details. This tour was one of the most engaging and enjoyable tours we’ve ever taken. The stories were detailed and exciting. Our guide had numerous supplementary images to supplement and place into context the stories of these remarkable and powerful women. Our stops were well planned. Overall, I can’t say enough about this well thought out tour.

    My sister was visiting from out of town and it gave us locals a chance to finally go on this walking tour. Our guide, Jackson, was patient, thoughtful, and well researched. His stories were interesting and helped contextualize the reputation New Orleans still maintains to this day. I enjoyed meeting these historical and impactful women. The weather was beautiful, sidewalks not too treacherous, and plenty of stops for shade and drinks!

    Tracy was a lot of fun as a tour guide. She has a lot of knowledge about the city as a whole and was able to add another tidbits of information or history along the way. The tour is at a nice pace so you don’t feel rushed.

    What to expect

    1

    Old Ursuline Convent Museum

    See the convent of the Ursulines nuns, the oldest building in the French Quarter (construction began 1727), and hear how the church and King Louis XV became sex traffickers to force more women to the colony, and had the nuns keep these "correction girls" in line with nude public lashings. But the girls were the ones with the problem?

    2

    Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar

    Often we stop by this oldest building housing a bar in North America, and discuss its history as a smuggling front. Although not one of our historic cocktail spots, we often take a break here and cool down in the heat.

    Duration 10 minutes
    3

    Marie Laveau House of Voodoo

    Actually we won't see this shop on the tour, we'll go to the real Marie Laveau's birthplace, and discuss... "Wait, she doesn't belong on this tour! She's a voudou leader not a... " High class madam? Find out where she made most of her real money!

    Duration 7 minutes
    4

    Louis Armstrong Park

    The decadent palaces thrown up in Storyville on Basin St. were replaced by the Iberville Projects. So we take you to the gorgeous Louis Armstrong Park that overlooks what once was Storyville, with enough seating and shade for guests to sit and view photos of this historic time period, see and hear about its wildest characters.
