Historic Walking Tours: Discovering the Rich History of New Orleans
You can't turn a corner in New Orleans without coming face-to-face with the past. Since the day the city was founded on the banks of the Mississippi River in 1718, New Orleans has witnessed every chapter in American history.
That rich history is best explored on foot with a knowledgeable guide. These are some of our real estate agents' favorite historical walking tours in New Orleans.
- Stunning Garden District Walking Tour - 1427 Washington Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130
The Garden District is one of the first places to visit in New Orleans for anyone with an interest in architecture. The district's 19th-century streets are lined with splendid Greek Revival, Italianate and Victorian style mansions. You'll learn more about their history on the Stunning Garden District Walking Tour, hosted by experienced guides at Legendary Walking Tours. The meeting place for this tour is Lafayette Cemetery, at the corner of Washington Ave. and Prytania St., within minutes of many New Orleans homes for sale. - Voodoo / Treme / Storyville Walking Tour - 301 Basin St #1, New Orleans, LA 70112
One of the best tour companies for folks who really want to dig into the city's authentic history is NOLA Historic Tours. You'll explore some of New Orleans' most vibrant neighborhoods on their Voodoo / Treme / Storyville Walking Tour, which delves into the rich heritage of the city.

Free walking tours of New Orleans might sound too good to be true, but the French Quarter Free Walking Tour from NOLA Tour Guy provides a great French Quarter Experience free of charge. You'll see 300 years of history in a single neighborhood, including landmarks like Pirates Alley, Jackson Square, Bourbon Street, Storyville, and the Tennessee Williams and William Faulkner Homes. Tours depart daily at 10 am from Washington Artillery Park, and donations are both accepted and encouraged. - Official St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Tour - 501 Basin St, New Orleans, LA 70112
St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is the oldest and most famous cemetery in New Orleans. Established in 1789, the cemetery is known for its centuries-old above-ground tombs. The practice of using tombs for burial stems from the region's climate, which made underground burial impractical. You'll learn all about the cemetery, its history, and some notable residents on the Official St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Tour. The tours depart every 15 minutes from the cemetery gates, and advance reservations are recommended to ensure a spot.
