Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: French Quarter, New Orleans, LA
You’ll meet your small group of no more than 20 people and expert local guide (a veteran of many Mardi Gras) near the Mardi Gras Museum of Costumes and Culture then head inside for a full tour. Here you’ll learn about the “krewes” or associations that run the parades and balls associated with Mardi Gras and even try on some of their elaborate costumes.
Stop At: Mardi Gras Museum of Costumes and Culture, 1010 Conti St, New Orleans, LA 70112-3433
Mardi Gras Museum of Costumes and Culture
Duration: 45 minutes
Pass By: Bourbon Street, New Orleans, LA
Your next stop is the oldest family-run restaurant in America, where each room is set up like a museum to the krewe that regularly meets there. You’ll get a classic New Orleans cocktail from the bar and then head up to the balcony for views over the French Quarter and a thorough debunking of a few Mardi Gras myths. Back at street level, your guide will teach you how to form your very own Second Line parade, aka “the quintessential New Orleans art form” and you’ll learn where to go if you want to experience Mardi Gras like a local.
Pass By: Algiers Ferry, 1 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70130-1152
After making your way through the French Quarter, you’ll hop on a shuttle to Mardi Gras World where you’ll get a behind the scenes look at how the floats are made for the parades and finish your tour with a slice of authentic king cake.
