Itinerary
Cuban Creations is a fun and elegant smoking bar in the French Quarter -- the only one of its kind! It has very comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, and great historic New Orleans cocktails as its specialties.
Hear the story of the pair of tragedies that transformed the French Quarter, and of Jackson's Square's bloody history as a penal colony and torture center.
We start our journey through the most haunted parts of the French Quarter. You'll see the incredible architecture, and hear the stories of the people who lived inside.
This humble shop, now a thriving bar, is believed to be a smuggling front for the pirate operations of Jean Lafitte, one of the most powerful pirates in history.
Hear the terrifying true story of the LaLaurie Mansion, the worst serial killers in New Orleans history, hidden in plain sight in high society!
See the convent of the Ursuline nuns, a place of untold legends and rumors in our early colonial history.

About New Orleans
New Orleans is the Louisiana city of jazz, Creole food and the French Quarter, set on a bend of the Mississippi River near the Gulf of Mexico.
New Orleans was founded by the French in 1718 and later ruled by Spain, and the French Quarter still shows it, with wrought-iron balconies, courtyards and Jackson Square, which St Louis Cathedral overlooks. Jazz was born here, and live music pours from clubs on Frenchmen Street. The St Charles streetcar rattles beneath oaks to the mansions of the Garden District.
