Eras of New Orleans: A History Lovers Walking Tour

About This Deal

No ghosts. No gimmicks. Just raw, unfiltered history.

Step beyond the myths and into the real story of New Orleans on this adults-only walking tour through the French Quarter. Led by local experts from Witches Brew Tours, Eras of New Orleans uncovers the truth behind the Crescent City’s most defining—and darkest—chapters, from its colonial beginnings to modern-day upheavals.

This is not a ghost tour. This is New Orleans history, delivered boldly and uncut. You’ll walk the streets where empires clashed, revolutions brewed, and scandal shaped the soul of a city unlike any other.
