Start your New Orleans Secrets tour experience in a tucked-away restaurant (which was once a brothel) and dine on several delicious dishes while learning how New Orleans nightlife and jazz in the city evolved. From there, stroll down famous Bourbon Street and see how it became the #1 nighttime destination in the USA.
After a second food stop, settle in with a drink of your choice (included) in your reserved seat at a popular jazz venue for live New Orleans jazz!
On this walking tour, you visit:
Two restaurants – Enough food for a full meal
Pat O’Brien’s – Inventor of the infamous “hurricane” cocktail and the dueling pianos
Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop – One of the oldest bars in America
Cat’s Meow – World-famous karaoke bar
New Orleans Jazz Venue – See live Dixieland Jazz music with reserved seating
Various other spots of interest along the way
You also learn about Louis Armstrong, the Storyville Red Light District, what to do on Bourbon Street, and other great places for live jazz in New Orleans (like Frenchmen Street!).
Other things to know…
This is a historical tour that includes dinner over two stops, one bottle of water, plus your reservation and a drink at a jazz venue. You are welcome to purchase additional beverages along the way. This is a small group experience allowing just eight guests per tour!
This is a nighttime walking tour that takes place rain or shine. Some sidewalks are uneven and dimly lit, so please wear comfortable walking shoes and prepare for the weather. This tour does not accommodate vegan, fully vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy- or egg-free, or reduced-sodium dietary restrictions. This tour may not be a good fit for diets which prohibit both seafood and pork since many dishes contain one or the other. At least two people are needed to run this tour (may be booked separately).
You’ll meet your guide inside The Bombay Club, 830 Conti Street
While we can offer substitutions for most dishes to pescatarians, we cannot accommodate vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher, or low salt diets.
On this tour, you will walk approximately half a mile.
We can offer substitutions for most dishes to those with shellfish allergies. Please be sure to mention this when booking your tickets.
Our tours run rain or shine; please bring an umbrella or poncho in order to stay dry during the tour. If the weather is severe enough that it poses a danger, we will call you to explain our decision and discuss alternatives (this is why it’s very important to list a good cell phone number when booking online!). If we cancel a tour because of severe weather, all guests will be given a full refund.
This tour will max out at eight guests. We pride ourselves on small group sizes so you’ll never be a part of one of those massive tour groups!
Because the tour will visit bars, everyone in the party must be 21 or older (the legal drinking age in Louisiana).
Since they will not be allowed into the bars, we unfortunately cannot allow children of any age.
This is definitely NOT a pub crawl! Instead, think of this as an orientation to the French Quarter nightlife scene. Those showing up already inebriated will be asked to leave the tour with no refund given.
Imagine eating delicious dishes from the most famous chefs in New Orleans… all in THE SAME MEAL! This walking tour is a one-of-a-kind dining experience and is only offered through New Orleans Secrets!
