A Walking History Tour of Miss River in New Orleans｜United States

We begin your journey at the Canal Street Ferry Terminal, at the river end of Canal Street. Board the ferry and cross the Mississippi River, taking in views of New Orleans from the water.

Disembark on the West Bank and embark on a historic riverfront walk. Hear stories of hurricanes, commerce, levees, migration, music, and the people who lived and fought along the banks of America’s most mythic river.

Learn about the First People, the French settlers who saw opportunity in the high ground, and the enslaved Africans who labored and resisted along the docks. Discover how the river has shaped the city’s history, from the Great Flood to Hurricane Katrina.

This isn’t a disaster tour. It’s a riverine resurrection story. Told with reverence, grit, and poetic insight, this tour is for those who want to understand New Orleans beyond Bourbon Street—through the waterlines etched in the city’s soul and the unbreakable spirit that keeps rising with the tide.
