I have escorted several city tours and swamp tours in New Orleans
and I’ve found both to be very interesting. Last time I was there
we stayed at the Hotel Monteleone which is a wonderful historic
hotel and perfect for getting around since it is located in the
heart of the French Quarter. We were there for two nights. While I
was there, I enjoyed going to Cafe Du Monde early in the morning
for their delicious beignets and listening to local jazz musicians
play until the wee hours of the morning. The nightly parade is
great to watch and gives you a flavor of what Mardi Gras must be
like.
