About This Experience Gift

Learn About the Scandalous Past of New Orleans' Red Light District
Join an Expert Guide on a Fascinating Tour of New Orleans History
Stop at Three Fabulous Bars for Tasty Cocktails

Enjoy the kind of history lesson that you won’t find in the classroom with this immersive two-hour exploration of New Orleans’ most spirited and sinful women.

With its Creole culture, heritage architecture and round-the-clock music, New Orleans is a one-of-a-kind destination. The women that have shaped the city over time are every bit as unique, and this small group tour celebrates their brilliant and bawdy lives. Meet your knowledgeable guide at the corner of Decatur Street and Barracks Street and head into the heart of the historic city. Step back in time to the dens of iniquity, dancehalls, and brothels of La Nouvelle-Orléans. Learn about its early days as a French colony, when the founding mothers hung their red lanterns outside wooden shacks. Hear tales of Storyville, the world-famous red-light district from 1897 to 1917, where diamond studded queen-madams lived lives of splendor in marble palaces and an on-stage “Sex Circus” took place to the backdrop of live jazz. It’s the top shelf tale of a city’s past that you never learnt at school. You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, and you’ll learn about the most badly-behaved women in history as your guide brings the past to life through a book of visuals and key locations. To top it all off, you’ll take home a souvenir Polaroid of your group to remember your amazing day.

This alternative history tour of New Orleans is a wonderfully different way to explore on your next trip, and would make a unique experience gift for a history lover or a couple vacationing in the city.
