This tour is a modification of the traditional Super City Tour route and narration to include an area and narration pertaining to Hurricane Katrina.

We begin in the original city, the French Quarter, and travel to the Ninth Ward, one of many New Orleans neighborhoods devastated by the flooding caused by multiple levee breaks.

We’ll pass the house of the legendary rock and roll pianist Antoine Dominique "Fats" Domino, and learn of his personal journey through the storm.

Under the shady oak trees of Esplanade Avenue we retrace the route taken by carriages of yesteryear to escape the summer heat.

After visiting a unique above-ground cemetery, it’s on to City Park, at 1,300 acres one of the largest urban park in the country, as we make our way to Lake Pontchartrain.

In the Carrollton section view Xavier University, founded by St. Katharine Drexel and presently the only historically black, Catholic University in the Western Hemisphere.

Follow the path of the St. Charles Avenue streetcars (refurbished since the storm) past Tulane and Loyola Universities, across from Audubon Park, and the exclusive Garden District.
