    Cruise Tour

Welcome to the Big Easy! Understanding the history and culture of New Orleans is crucial because it offers insights into the complexities of American identity and the ways in which diverse cultures can coalesce to create something truly extraordinary. It's a city that has been shaped by its geography, history, and the people who call it home-a place where the past is always present, and the spirit of the city is as enduring as the waters that surround it. To visit New Orleans is to experience a living museum, a place where every street corner tells a story, and every note of music carries the weight of centuries. This journey is crafted to enrich your knowledge and appreciation of New Orleans' heritage and culture.

Upon your arrival at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), you will meet your driver outside the luggage pick-up area and will then accompany you to your hotel where you will spend the evening. Join us for a welcome drink at your hotel. Spend the remainder of the day and evening at leisure.
