Our guide to New Orleans Paddle and Wheel Tour
Firstly, travel through three centuries of history, legends and romance as you encounter "The City That Care Forgot!" absorb the sights and sounds of the world famous French Quarter and historic Jackson Square.
Visit one of the historic cemeteries, referred to as "Cities of the Dead," and learn about the unique above ground burial system before soaking up some stories of voodoo and piracy en route to the shores of Lake Pontchartrain.
View the longest bridge over water in the world, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway and follow the path of the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, the oldest continuously operating passenger railway system in the world (until service was disrupted by Hurricane Katrina).
Finally, see the homes of former Kings & Queens of Mardi Gras, stately mansions and the world-famous, exclusive Garden District before viewing Tulane and Loyola Universities across from Audubon Park, home to one of the top five zoos in the nation, The Audubon Zoo.
After the city tour you will take to the waters of the mighty Mississippi River aboard the historic Steamboat Natchez which is one of only two authentic steamboats still in operation.
