Visiting Historical New Orleans
New Orleans was devastated by the 2005 Hurricane Katrina; please call these venues before you schedule a visit with your tour bus group and verify that they are fully operational. Most businesses and tourist attractions are back and many historical venues have been rehabilited to their former glory.
If you like old theaters, make a stop by the Orpheum Theater at 129 University Place where your tourbus group can take a tour of this old theater that still hosts plays and performances to this day. Please call (504) 524-3285 to make reservations for your tour bus group.
One of the first challenges that the settlers of this area encountered was the problem of what to do with their dead. Much of the area is below sealevel and burying them was out of the question. Hence the French style above ground cemetaries were built. Row after row of individually constructed mausoleum is found at St Louis Cemetery Number 1 located at 499 Basin Street. There is no phone number to call for a tour, they are self guided but it is recommended that you visit between the hours of 10AM and 3PM, 365 days a year.
Another fun theater to visit is called the State Palace Theater located at 1108 Canal Street in the French Quarter. This theater has a long history and played host to many actors of the stage that have long since passed. Still featuring performances at night and tours by day, it's a fun way to take in the flavor of times gone by from the architecture of this ornate building. Please call (504) 522-4435 to book a tour for your bus group.
If you're looking for a fun afternoon of sightseeing in New Orleans, those are just a few of the stops your tour bus group can make!
