A lot of birthday parties are hosted here with bouncy houses, summertime sprinklers and baby pools. And it's a spot for other, more unorthodox gatherings as well. This is the starting point for the annual naked bike ride, for instance. It's great for people-watching too.

Start at the Masonic Temple Cemetery #2, founded in 1865 by the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana Free and Accepted Masons. Take a walk through the cemetery that is renowned for its unusual tombs.
Passing through City Park, one of the nation's oldest urban parks, the tour takes a break at Morning Call Cafe where you can purchase coffee and beignets.
A visit to the Hurricane Katrina Memorial concludes the tour, offering a contemplative pause at the site of 85 unclaimed victims of the 2005 levee failures.
The tour concludes back at the starting point.1: Masonic Temple Cemetery #2Founded in 1865 by the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana Free and Accepted Masons, the Masonic Cemetery expresses a character distinct from the Catholic cemeteries that dominate the city. It is known for its many unusual, elaborate tombs, a reputation due in part to the cemeterys communal nature: members of lodges pooled resources to purchase large group tombs. Occupying two oddly shaped city blocks, the cemetery is triangular in plan, with Conti Street bisecting it. The triangular footprint of the bordering streets overlaid with the cemeterys angular internal walkways mimics the Masonic emblem of the square and compass. Cast-iron picket fences enclose its two distinct sections, while oak allées line its northern and western edges. Tombs are compactly arranged in rows parallel to Bienville Street, with a wide, paved promenade cutting through the center to provide access to smaller walkways between rows.30 minutes -Admission Ticket IncludedCity Park (Pass by)City Park is as magical and unique as the city of New Orleans. The 1,300-acre outdoor oasis has enchanted New Orleanians since 1854, making it one of the nations oldest urban parks. Each year, millions of visitors stroll under the same historic oaks and picturesque moss canopies that served as the backdrop for dances, concerts and even gentlemanly duels or affaires dhonneur for generations.ADDITIONAL INFOService animals allowedPublic transportation options are available nearbyInfants are required to sit on an adults lapSuitable for all physical fitness levelsDress code is smart casual*****While we want you to enjoy the benefits of BYOB, we also encourage you to drink responsibly.

- Duration:120 Minutes
Explore the city that sits on the banks of the Mississippi River with this hop on - hop off bus tour, by far the most practical way of sightseeing. Possibly the biggest advantage of the hop on - hop off bus is the fact that you can jump off the bus at any given stop that is more interesting to you to further explore it on foot. Once you're done, all you have to do it wait at the nearest bus station and soon enough another bus will show up for you to continue the tour.
Hop off at the Superdome, the world's largest fixed dome structure, or even at the Insectarium, an Asian inspired garden where you can walk through clouds of beautiful butterflies. Don't miss the National WWII Museum, the St Louis Cathedral or the picturesque French Quarter. Walk down Royal Street, inspect the French Market or wander through St Louis Cemetery. And of course travel to Mardi Gras World and Bourbon Street. All of this and much more is a mere hop away.

Cocktails to Jazz Tour
- Type:Bar and Pub Tours
- Duration:6 Hours
Your cocktails and jazz tour begins in Jackson Square where you'll find many of the best bars of the French Quarter are only a stone's throw away. Don't expect to spend much time on Bourbon Street though. While it has its place in New Orleans nightlife, we will be going beyond the tourist trail to show you what really makes New Orleans' cocktail culture unique.
For our first cocktail stop we will travel back to the 1700s and visit a bar which used to entertain some of the most eccentric characters in New Orleans history. Here, we will taste a famous drink of the city and learn how it has influenced New Orleans drinking culture today. We will then visit one of your guide's favorite bars and taste a drink so good you'll forget there's alcohol in it. Next up, we will sample the 'official cocktail of New Orleans': the Sazerac. One of the first cocktails ever invented, it's definitely tasty enough to stand the test of time.
Our final cocktail stop will be at one of the classiest establishments in town to try one of the city's most esteemed drinks, the Ramos Gin Fizz. After your first sip, you'll truly understand why New Orleans has been called, "the cradle of civilized drinking." There will be an opportunity to rest your feet or grab a bite to eat before the jazz portion of the tour begins. Your guide can recommend some good eats, depending on your preferences.
Then we'll head over to the historic and beautiful Louis Armstrong Park in the Treme neighborhood. Within the park, we will talk about the historical origins of jazz and discuss one of the jazz greats, Armstrong himself. From here, we will make our way to the popular Marigny neighborhood, a hip nightlife area that's home to the famous Frenchmen Street, where you'll find the largest concentration of live music venues in the city.
Being with a local, you'll have access to the best options, depending on the day of the week, time and band schedules. And to top it off, you will receive a beer on us at one of the stops. You're very welcome to purchase additional beverages as and when you want them. We'll also be on the lookout for impromptu street performances, which always make the night special. And if the timing and mood is right, we'll get behind the scenes with one of the bands in between sets.
Your cocktails and jazz tour ends at the nightly art market, another lively spot where the city's artists show off their best work, from handmade sculptures to local photography. If (well, let's be honest, when!), at the end of the tour you're still craving more, your guide will point out other great locations in the area for dinner, drinks and of course, more great music!INCLUDESTourguide

Daytime Jazz Cruise
- Type:Cruises and Boating Tours
- Duration:2 Hours
Hop on board the very last steamboat of its kind in New Orleans and charge full speed ahead into the history-ridden regions surrounding the legendary Mississippi River and turn a regular historical tour into an exciting unparalleled experience!
Sit back and relax as this nostalgic two hour cruise begins by slowly gliding away from the heart of the French Quarter, one of the liveliest and most popular corners of New Orleans, to then transport you along the water back into the age when cotton was as craved as gold. In the forlorn times of New Orleans 'cottonocracy', the days were long and the rewards for a hard day's work, few if any. Recalling these hard past times makes one positively relish the privilege of living in our day and age.
Feel the rhythm of the jazz band as you tap your feet and appreciate the stunning scenery glide by, you will appreciate in a glance how New Orleans is one of the most active ports in the world. A steamboat floating in the middle of the Mississippi River is definately the best vantage point for observing the hectic mercantile activity the port is thriving with.
To make the voyage even more enjoyable, you can book a delightful lunch to enjoy while aboard the cruise. That way the beauty of the landscapes you admire throughout the journey can harmonize with the meal's flavours.
