Pass along the Mardi Gras routes of Zulu and Rex and learn of important spots along the way. Discover the Gilded Age manisons of the University Area and visit the old town of Carrollton. Learn about the legends of jazz who mastered their skills here and of the inventive genius who helped win World War II. In New Orleans, this street is simply called the Avenue and no trip to the Cresent City is complete until you travel down this famous throughfare.
This program has been completely updated since Hurricane Katrina. The St. Charles streetcar line was damaged by that storm and will not reopen on its full route until spring 2008. Although this tour was designed for use while riding the streetcar, it works equally well as a driving tour. If you have a car available, there is no better introduction to New Orleans history than our narrated ride down one of its most famous streets.
