Best New Orleans Tours & Trips
Nicknamed "The Big Easy" and "The Crescent City," this lively one-of-a-kind destination features a mix of French and Spanish influences especially in the architecture along its Oak tree lined streets. New Orleans was settled in 1718 by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville and named after Duke of Orleans Philippe d'Orleans. The Treaty of Paris transferred the city to Spain in 1763 and then it was transferred back to French rule in 1801 and then sold to the United States under the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. You're sure to hear jazz, smell Cajun cooking and notice the unique dialect of the residents on a visit to this legendary city. Popular city attractions are The French Quarter, Bourbon Street, St. Louis Cathedral, The Cabildo, The National World War II Museum, Louis Armstrong Park and St. Louis Cemetery. The city suffered a major disaster after its levees broke in 2005 during Hurricane Katrina causing massive flooding.

Best Time to Visit New Orleans
Summer
2026
Summer in New Orleans is shaped by heat, humidity, and a slower pace. From June through August, high temperatures often reach the upper-80s to low-90s F, with high humidity and regular afternoon thunderstorms that briefly cool the air. Tropical systems can influence late summer, so flexible planning is helpful. Travelers who visit in summer often benefit from lower hotel rates and fewer crowds. Indoor attractions stand out, including the National WWII Museum, historic Creole homes, and jazz clubs on Frenchmen Street. Early mornings and evenings work best for walking the French Quarter or riding the St. Charles streetcar. Events like Essence Festival add energy, and wetland boat tours remain possible when timed around weather.

Autumn
2026
Autumn brings a welcome shift to more balanced weather in New Orleans. From September to November, temperatures fall from summer highs into the 70s and low-80s F, and humidity becomes more manageable. Early fall can still be rainy, but October and November are often clear with cooler evenings. This season suits travelers who want variety without peak crowds. Walking tours in the French Quarter and Marigny feel easier, and plantations along the Mississippi River are pleasant to explore. October features events like the Voodoo Music Experience and Halloween celebrations tied to local folklore. Fall is strong for food travel as oyster season begins and menus shift toward richer Creole and Cajun dishes.

Winter
2026/2027
Winter in New Orleans is generally mild compared with much of the country. From December to February, daytime temperatures typically range from the mid-50s to mid-60s F, with occasional cold fronts that bring cooler nights and light rain. Snow is extremely rare, and most days suit outdoor plans with light layers. Winter travel highlights focus on culture and events. The holiday season features Reveillon dinners, decorated historic homes, and festive streets. Carnival season begins in January, building toward Mardi Gras with parades across Uptown and Mid-City. Sightseeing in City Park, the Garden District, and along the river is comfortable, and cooler weather pairs well with gumbo, étouffée, and classic beignets.

Spring
2027
Spring in New Orleans brings mild, comfortable weather for walking and outdoor sightseeing. From March to May, daytime temperatures usually range from the mid-60s to low-80s F, with lower humidity than summer and frequent sunshine mixed with brief showers. Evenings are often pleasant, especially near the river. Spring is also one of the city’s busiest travel seasons. Mardi Gras celebrations can extend into early March, while the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival anchors late April and early May at the Fair Grounds. The French Quarter, Garden District, and Magazine Street are well suited for architecture walks, street music, and café stops. Swamp tours near Lafitte become comfortable again, and spring menus highlight crawfish boils and soft-shell crab.

Insightful Tour with a Touch of Jazz
We loved the informative city tour that highlighted New Orleans' rich cultural heritage and iconic landmarks. The Natchez Jazz Cruise was the perfect way to unwind afterward, with soulful music and a scenic river backdrop. It was a delightful blend of history, music, and charm.

Love every moment
Absolutely loved every moment of the Steamboat Natchez Harbor Jazz Cruise! The combination of live jazz music, delicious lunch, and stunning views of the Mississippi River was unbeatable. It truly felt like stepping into a Mark Twain novel.

A very memorable trip overall!
A well-rounded tour with a good mix of history, culture, and nature. Riverfront Park in Little Rock is a lovely spot for a peaceful walk, and Centennial State Park provided a perfect escape into the mountains.
