Experience New Orleans beyond guidebooks! Visit the most stunning landmarks and secret spots with the freedom to explore at your own pace.
About this Event

Wander New Orleans not just as a tourist, but as an adventurer turning a regular walk into a memory you’ll share for years.

Whether you're exploring alone, with a partner, or with friends, this complete self-guided tour offers the ultimate freedom of discovery: no rushing after a guide, no groups of strangers, and no strict schedules. You can stop for photos whenever you want, grab a coffee when you feel like it, and discover the soul of the city through the pace and the eyes of a local.

You'll peel back the layers of City Park’s past—from its origins as a plantation to its current status as a cultural mecca for locals.

Are you ready to discover unique historical facts, find hidden works of art, and see why this green space is the heart of New Orleans?



WHAT YOU'LL VISIT?
The route of 13 locations was carefully hand-picked by us to show you the very best of New Orleans (plus a few secrets). It includes:
  • The Ancient Giants: Stand in the shadow of the McDonogh Oak, an 800-year-old marvel that has witnessed centuries of history.
  • Art in Nature: Explore the grounds surrounding one of the top sculpture gardens in the country, and hunt for specific works by the famous sculptor Enrique Alférez.
  • A Story of Evolution: Learn how this land transformed from a sugar plantation into a beloved public space, surviving hurricanes and history to become a sanctuary for the city.




HOW DOES IT WORK?

This tour is fully self-guided with the use of the app on your phone. You'll visit a set of locations in the city and each of them will represent a new chapter in your journey.

When you arrive at a location, you'll read the story and search the world around you (statues, plaques, buildings) for the answer to a challenge. Solving the challenge unlocks the next part of the story and a fun "Fact Card" about the landmark in that area. The difficulty level is easy and you can always ask for a hint or skip a challenge if you get stuck.


Here's how to start:

  1. Buy your ticket and book any date. The hour is not relevant as you can do this activity whenever you want. It's available 24/7.
  2. Download the app (iOS or Android) and create an account using the same email used for the purchase.
  3. Go to your Profile inside the app and find your tour unlocked and ready to start!
