Learn much about the city
I enjoyed the narration from the tour guides on the buses and learn much about the city even as I had lived in the city previously. I do have one compliant at that being that using my visa card with bank of america they charged me a foreign transaction fee because the headquarter are from England. Did not know that if I had i would have used a card that does not charge a foreign transaction fee.

Romancing the New Orleans way: New Orleans is a music town, where the sounds of the city reverberate on every street corner. A city as romantic and welcoming as any other. Take a steamboat cruise and enjoy an evening of dining and jazz, what better way to introduce yourself to this beautiful area, than gently journeying down the mighty Mississippi?
Stay in the tourist areas: You’ll find that New Orleans is seen as a safe place to visit. There are some dangerous areas, but these are away from the main tourist areas, and you’ll be unlikely to visit them.
Earlier the better: The best time to visit New Orleans is between February to May. It’s when the weather is most comfortable, and the famous celebrations are in full swing. We’re talking Mardi Gras, time folks! December to January is when the city is at its calmest.
• If you are visiting New Orleans for the Mardi Gras, then the first one was held back in the 1800s. It’s a great way to get into the New Orleans spirit, try the food and meet the people.
• As for jazz, New Orleans helped to bring jazz to the masses, and Louis Armstrong is one of their jazz legends. Head for the city’s oldest jazz bar at Preservation Hall.
• New Orleans has many a name. Crescent city because the Mississippi River makes a crescent shape around New Orleans, Other names given are NOLA (short for New Orleans, Louisiana) and the Big Easy.
