1.French Quarter Walking Tour: LGBTQ History, Literary History, and Voodoo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) Our pick

Join New Orleans guide Frank Perez for a private French Quarter walk focused on LGBTQ history, literary history, and voodoo. You can tailor the route and conversation to your interests, choose a morning, afternoon, or evening start, and expect a tour of about 90 minutes to two hours. Stops vary, so this is a conversation-led outing rather than a fixed checklist.

“Was the best tour I have ever taken. Frank is part of the community & knows so much about the changes. He is a published author so there are real live facts about the people, lives & how they have shaped the city, state, and country. I felt blessed to have the knowledge shared with me & my girlfriend. Finished at a staple of the community ready to enjoy a Mardi Gras parade! Book this tour & enjoy!!”
