New Orleans is a soulful celebration in city form. Jazz hums through the streets, gumbo simmers on the stove, and the French Quarter glows with stories. It’s a city that dances to its own rhythm.
Rich in culture, history, and flavor — your trip itinerary should hit the same note as the city. We cut through the noise and filtered out the fluff.

Top 5 picks from the Foresyte community.
#5 Reckless Memories
Shared by Laura Davidson – 78 ❤️
“We tore through murky bayous at full speed, watching Spanish moss dangle from cypress trees like nature’s chandeliers. Gators lurked in the shadows, eyes just above the waterline. One came close—too close—but let’s just say, I left with both ankles intact.”
#4 Cooking Class
Shared by Ethan Davis – 91 ❤️
“Modern comfort with a texas twist. Because eating gumbo is one thing. Learning to make it from scratch, with a chef who swears by generations of family secrets? A whole different level of appreciation.”
#3 Cemetery Tour
Shared by Michael Long – 97 ❤️
“Craft brews with a nola twist. New Orleans’ cemeteries aren’t just resting places—they’re stories waiting to be told. We walked past above-ground tombs, eerie inscriptions, and the supposed final resting place of Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. If any place could make a skeptic believe in ghosts, it’s here.”
#2 Carriage Tour
Shared by Deb Fowler – 109 ❤️
“Late-Night eats with attitude. Walking is one thing, but seeing the city by carriage, with a guide who knows every hidden alley and scandalous tale? Next level.”
#1 Beer & Garden
Shared by Rose Chandler – 356 ❤️
“Where seafood meets fire. Big courtyard, live brass band, beers so local they taste like the city itself. This wasn’t just drinking—it was an experience.”
