With Mary joining us, we decided to take a city tour. She has never been to NOLA and we were running out of places to visit. We wanted to get a highlight of places besides the French Quarter and normal tourist attractions. We plan to spend some time revisiting places we found interesting.
After watching the hoards of people getting off tour buses, we decided to splurge and hire a private tour guide to show us the city. We told him what we had already visited and that we were interested in history and architecture.
The guide picked us up from our Airbnb and gave us a very interesting tour including the history of New Orleans and it’s people, showing us the architecture in different neighborhoods, and facts about life in New Orleans.
We started with a great view from the Westin Hotel
We next went to St Louis Cemetary
We went to Lake Ponchartrain
When we were done, Glen dropped us off at the French Quarter so we could walk around and shop with Mary.
