On this two-hour walking tour of New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood, your guide will introduce you to the mobsters, madams, madmen, murderers, and misfits who made New Orleans one of the most interesting cities in America.Meet in Jackson Square and begin your journey into the more salacious history of this undisciplined town. Your guide will help you imagine Storyville, the legendary red-light district that beckoned visitors between 1897 and 1917. You may hear tales of Gov. Huey P. Long, “The Kingfish,” who, before he was assassinated, set the bar for corruption and charisma that Louisiana politicians still aspire to today. Your guide may tell you about the public executions that were one of the citys earliest forms of entertainment, or about gangs along the waterfront, or serial killers with a fondness for jazz. From its establishment as place for France to dump all her undesirables, to a young man named Lee Harvey Oswald who called New Orleans home, New Orleans has never been short on good stories!Far from being just another “scandals” tour, this journey through the seamier side of New Orleans history will astound you with the overwhelming number of times criminal acts have been a part of the day-to-day operations of this unique old city. You will leave wanting to know even more about how we have managed to live – and thrive- in a state of corruption for three centuries.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingNot recommended for child aged 17 and underOperates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriatelyInclusionsSmall-group tourWalking tourcontact information for your guide for follow-up questions or recommendationsExclusionsFood and drinksGratuities (optional)Departure PointJackson Square in the French QuarterDeparture Time1:30pm on Thursdays10:30am on FridaysDuration2 hoursVoucher InfoYou can present either a paper or an electronic voucher for this activity.The tour identified in this promotion is made available through Viator.
