New Orleans holds its past and present together in a way few cities manage, and this narrated drive introduces you to most of it. Your tour starts in the French Quarter and heads down historic Esplanade Avenue, where Creole merchant mansions sit beneath century old oak trees. A stop at St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 brings you among the elaborate above-ground tombs for which the city is famous. A short stop at Cafe du Monde offers time to take in the surroundings before the drive carries you toward Lake Pontchartrain, then along the St. Charles streetcar route past the restored mansions of Audubon Park. A final glimpse of the Superdome closes a tour that is exactly what its name promises, a snapshot wide enough to show you which corners of New Orleans deserve a longer look.
