From the powdered-sugar charm of Café du Monde to the sweeping oaks of City Park and the spires of St. Louis Cathedral, each stop is chosen to showcase the city’s history, culture, and magic. Magnolia Heritage tours go beyond surface sightseeing. At Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar and the golden Joan of Arc statue, you won’t just hear facts—you’ll uncover legends of pirates, saints, artists, and dreamers who shaped the city’s character. Whether exploring the French Market, pausing in Jackson Square, or wandering the Botanical Garden, every moment immerses you in the spirit of past and present.

Activity itinerary

Café Du Monde – City Park
  • 30m
Bite into New Orleans’ most famous treat! Fresh, hot beignets buried in powdered sugar and a cup of chicory coffee, all enjoyed under ancient oaks and Spanish moss in the heart of City Park. This open-air café is a true local tradition, blending irresistible flavors with a setting that feels straight out of a storybook.
New Orleans City Park
  • 30m
Step into one of the nation’s largest and most beautiful urban parks, where 1,300 acres of ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss create a canopy of timeless Southern charm. Wander along serene lagoons, discover world-class sculpture gardens, and stroll through winding trails that invite both quiet reflection and adventure. From iconic photo spots to hidden corners filled with history and art, City Park is a place where New Orleans slows down, offering a perfect blend of nature, culture, and relaxation.
New Orleans Botanical Gardens
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
A lush oasis tucked inside City Park, the Botanical Garden is a living showcase of color and creativity. More than 2,000 varieties of plants flourish across themed gardens, from vibrant roses and tropical blooms to serene Japanese landscapes. Sculptures by local artists are woven throughout the grounds, creating an enchanting blend of art and nature. Whether you’re strolling beneath archways of flowers, pausing by tranquil fountains, or breathing in the sweet perfume of seasonal blossoms, the garden offers a refreshing escape and a feast for the senses.
French Quarter
  • 1h
The beating heart of the city, the French Quarter is where history, music, and flavor collide in a vibrant swirl of sights and sounds. Cobblestone streets lead past 18th-century Creole townhouses with their iconic wrought-iron balconies, while jazz drifts from clubs and street performers keep the energy alive on every corner. From the bustling shops of Royal Street to the lively spirit of Bourbon Street, this district offers an unforgettable mix of culture, cuisine, and celebration. Whether you’re drawn by the architecture, the music, or the magic of its storied past, the French Quarter is New Orleans at its most iconic.
French Market
  • 30m
– A tradition since 1791, the French Market is the oldest of its kind in the United States and still brims with the lively energy of a true marketplace. Stretching along the Mississippi River, it’s a feast for the senses—rows of stalls overflowing with fresh produce, Cajun spices, local crafts, art, and souvenirs. Street musicians set the soundtrack while food vendors tempt you with everything from jambalaya to pralines. Blending Old World charm with modern flair, the French Market is the perfect place to shop, sample, and soak up the everyday culture of New Orleans.
Jackson Square
  • 20m
The most photographed spot in New Orleans, Jackson Square is a masterpiece of history and atmosphere. Anchored by the soaring spires of St. Louis Cathedral, the square is framed by elegant 18th-century buildings and a lively parade of artists, musicians, and street performers. The equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson stands proudly at its center, surrounded by manicured gardens that offer the perfect vantage point for photos. Whether you’re admiring the architecture, browsing local art, or simply soaking in the energy of the Quarter, Jackson Square captures the soul of New Orleans in one iconic setting.
St. Louis Cathedral
  • 15m
Rising high above Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral is the crown jewel of the French Quarter and the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States. Its striking triple spires and gleaming white façade are iconic, but step inside and you’ll find soaring ceilings, intricate stained glass, and a sanctuary filled with centuries of history and devotion. From its role in New Orleans’ founding to its place as a cultural landmark today, the cathedral embodies both the city’s spiritual heart and architectural grandeur. It’s a stop that inspires awe, reflection, and unforgettable photographs.
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar
  • 5m
Step back in time at one of the oldest bars in America, housed in an 18th-century Creole cottage said to have once been the headquarters of the infamous pirate Jean Lafitte. By candlelight and lantern glow, the bar’s weathered brick walls and low timber beams create an atmosphere steeped in legend and mystery. Today, it’s as famous for its history as it is for its signature frozen “Purple Drank,” making it a perfect blend of New Orleans folklore and French Quarter nightlife. A stop here lets you sip a drink while standing inside a living piece of the city’s colorful past.
Joan of Arc Statue
  • 5m
Gleaming in gold at the edge of the French Quarter, the Maid of Orleans stands tall as a symbol of courage, faith, and resilience. Gifted to the city by France, this striking equestrian statue honors New Orleans’ deep French roots and Joan’s enduring legacy as a warrior and saint. Set against the backdrop of historic streets and lively markets, the statue is both a photo-worthy landmark and a reminder of the city’s Old World heritage. It’s a quick stop that connects New Orleans’ spirit of bravery and faith to its European past.
