Visiting New Orleans is like visiting a foreign country.
The weather is perfect almost ninety percent of the time.

With this being said with the weather cooperating you are able to visit the many beaches, take tours of the city or just enjoy a stroll along the riverfront or even the French quarter.
If you choose to take a local tour you will learn from the locals that will give you a history lesson like no other, even the cab drivers give you history lessons.

In conclusion I am recommending that
