Every trip has one free morning too few. These 4 new orleans street art tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide quickly and get back out to the wall.
Walk from St. Claude Avenue through Bywater, St. Roch, Faubourg Marigny, and the edge of the French Quarter with guides such as Tyler, Dave, or Lorelei. Expect murals, mosaics, post-Katrina stories, local art politics, photography stops, and one of Banksy’s remaining New Orleans works.
“Tyler was great. He personally knows most of the artists and told us the cultural significance of each.”
Walk through New Orleans with local guide Hollis, visiting the Circle Food Market, a historic funeral home, Kermit Ruffin’s Mother-in-Law Lounge, and St. Augustine Church. Expect a private 80-minute tour, local food and music tips, photo help, and a close look at Tremé culture.
“Hollis knows his city and is freaking amazing! We loved every minute. He was so accommodating and gave us so much insight on where to eat and be entertained like the locals!”
Spend three to four hours exploring New Orleans art with a private guide and door-to-door transport. Visit Magazine Street studios, Warehouse District galleries, Banksy’s Rain Girl, and French Quarter artists, with lunch included. The route can be tailored to your group.
“Amazing tour! Great art and food! Extremely knowledgeable about New Orleans and worth the time and money spent for the tour! Highly recommended!”
Start at Crazy Plant Bae and walk with a local guide through neighborhoods near the French Quarter. Hollis shares personal stories about community life, Katrina, Black Wall Street, murals, homes, and local places to eat, shop, and drink. The one-hour tour costs $25.
“Excellent tour! In 1 hour, Hollis led an incredible tour with better level insight than I have gotten on most other tours elsewhere - speaking from his own experience and taking us to places so important to New Orleans but rarely discussed like the community center, the former Black Wall Street turned into highway overpass, and sharing the stories of the people in his community most impacted by rapid development and hurricane Katrina.”
Pick a kind of tour, or a wall you have already seen in photographs.
