Begin with a ride to the banks of the Mississippi River learning how it shaped the landscape and where the first Europeans landed and founded the city. Then weave your way through the original 1718 New Orleans; visit the oldest and most historical landmarks, tell the tale of the city's early beginnings. Next, travel to Faubourg Marigny, view original Creole homes while learning of the famed division between the Americans and Creoles of this time period.
