Voyzo runs 22 private tours in New Orleans, Louisiana, covering 6 top attractions — each with your own guide, driver, and vehicle, and an itinerary built around your group rather than a fixed bus schedule.
New Orleans was founded by French colonists in 1718 along a bend of the Mississippi River, and that layered French, Spanish, African, and Caribbean history is still visible in the city today — most famously in the French Quarter, with its ironwork balconies and Creole townhouses, but also in neighborhoods far beyond it. New Orleans is widely credited as the birthplace of jazz, and live music remains part of daily life here, from Frenchmen Street's clubs to brass bands that play on street corners.
The Garden District, developed by wealthy Americans in the 19th century as a deliberate counterpoint to the French Quarter's Creole character, is now one of the best-preserved collections of antebellum mansions in the country, shaded by live oaks along St. Charles Avenue. Further out, City Park holds some of the oldest oak trees in North America, while neighborhoods like the Bywater and Faubourg Marigny show a more colorful, residential side of the city. New Orleans' neighborhoods are spread out along the river's curve rather than clustered together, so a private vehicle makes it far easier to see the Garden District, Magazine Street, and City Park in a single day than relying on the streetcar alone.

6
Magazine Street
New Orleans
A six-mile stretch of independent boutiques, galleries, and restaurants running through Uptown New Orleans.
November through March brings New Orleans' mildest, driest weather; peak summer (June through September) is hot, humid, and falls within Atlantic hurricane season, which officially runs June 1 through November 30.
The St. Charles Avenue streetcar covers the Garden District and Uptown, but neighborhoods like City Park, the Bywater, and the far end of Magazine Street are spread out along the river's curve — a private vehicle makes it realistic to see several in one day.
Summers are hot and humid (30–34°C / high 80s–90s°F) with frequent afternoon thunderstorms; light, breathable clothing and a compact umbrella are worth packing even outside hurricane season.
The US dollar is used throughout; 18–20% tipping at restaurants is standard, and cash tips for street musicians and brass bands are customary and appreciated.
The French Quarter's famous balconies are mostly cast iron, not wrought iron, despite the common description — the more delicate, hand-forged wrought-iron work is concentrated in a few blocks, including the Pontalba Buildings on Jackson Square.
Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November, with peak risk in August through October — it rarely disrupts a trip, but it's worth checking the forecast and having travel insurance for late-summer visits.
