“It’s New Orleans — You’re different here”. New Orleans is perhaps the most culturally rich city in the country. As the home of “Jazz,” you can’t miss hearing a note on every street corner of the world famous French Quarter. Trek through the entire city on a tour from the French Quarter to above-ground cemeteries, from beautiful City Park, Lake Pontchartrain, the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar, the Garden District, the Warehouse/Arts District, and the Central Business District. You can even hop aboard a paddle boat and travel the Mississippi River along the riverfront!
A tour of the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas will take your breath away with sites of nature and Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World will awe you when you learn how the world famous Mardi Gras floats are built. Have a beignet at Cafe du Monde just to begin experiencing the exquisite culinary varieties that New Orleans has to offer. Experience all this, then take a cruise! From Cajun swamp tours to plantations, museums and jazz brunches, New Orleans has something for everyone, from senior class and grad tours to student band classes!
Get up close and personal with alligators and other exotic flora and fauna found nowhere else in the country as you cruise lazily along through the mysterious, moss-draped bayous. Get a behind the scenes look at float building while touring the working warehouse where floats are made for the famous Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans.
