Journey Beyond the Iron Gates of New Orleans' Most Iconic Cemetery

Step into New Orleans’ rich history with a 55-minute guided walking tour of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 – the city’s oldest and most famous resting place. Established in 1789, this legendary cemetery is known for its elaborate above-ground tombs, intricate ironwork, and centuries-old burial traditions. On this tour, your licensed local Tour Host will share captivating stories of the historic figures laid to rest here – from renowned Voodoo Priestess Marie Laveau to Civil War generals, jazz musicians, and influential political leaders. 

Explore the Top-Rated National WWII Museum

The National WWII Museum in New Orleans is one of the most comprehensive museums dedicated to World War II. Through immersive exhibits, historic artifacts, and personal stories, the museum brings the events and impact of the war to life. Visitors can explore multiple pavilions featuring aircraft, tanks, wartime artifacts, and powerful firsthand accounts from those who experienced the conflict.

Beyond All Boundaries is an award-winning 48-minute immersive journey from Pearl Harbor to V-J Day. Narrated by Tom Hanks, this 4D film experience combines archival footage, cutting-edge special effects, and dramatic storytelling to take visitors through the major moments of World War II. Feel the treads of Tiger Tanks rumbling across North Africa’s deserts, steam rising from the jungles of Guadalcanal, and snow falling during the Battle of the Bulge. 

Cruise Down the Mighty Mississippi River

One of the most popular things to do in New Orleans is taking a cruise down the Mighty Mississippi River, one of the most unique ways to see the Big Easy. Hop aboard the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen and take a journey down the Mighty Mississippi while taking in 300 years of New Orleans history narrated by a local historian. Guests will enjoy a smooth sail downriver to the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and the historic Chalmette Battlefield where you’ll be invited to disembark for a one-hour shore excursion with a guided tour by National Park Rangers – New Orleans’ only riverboat cruise that features a tour of the Battlefield.
