French Quarter Walking Tour
“Learn the real history and legends of the Creole people that made up this unique neighborhood! Visit the Ursuline Convent, the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley, and see the fabulous herb garden that provides Bella Luna Restaurant with fresh herbs daily. You’ll also visit New Orleans Pharmacy Museum that was constructed in1823 for the first licensed pharmacist in the United States. The newly renovated courtyard contains an herb garden that illustrates the traditional uses of plants for medicinal purposes. Live leeches, leech jars, “blood-letting” devices, “gris-gris” potions used by Voodoo practitioners and rare patent medicines are just a few of the displays.”
I ordered our tickets the day before we were leaving for vacation, and your customer service reps faxed me the vouchers to ensure I received them before I left. THAT WAS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

Many secrets lurk in the numerous alleys named after the sinners and saints of the past, and you will almost hear their whispers as you walk along the charming streets. On this tour, you'll stroll through an herb garden at the Ursuline Convent where local restaurant, Bella Luna, gets ingredients daily.

Take pictures in front of the gorgeous architecture of the St. Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square, and inhale the abundant scents of Creole cooking that waft in the air. Perhaps the highlight of the tour, visitors will stop by the intriguing Pharmacy Museum where the gris-gris potions of the voodoo priestesses can be discovered and learned about. This is truly an opportunity that you don't want to miss, or else you may never learn about the dark past of this enchanting neighborhood.
