Perhaps the best way to describe New Orleans is with a palette of the most vibrant colors - from jazz music to riverboats, Creole cuisine to the French Quarter, the Big Easy has earned its flamboyant reputation, and this is the perfect opportunity for you to explore the rich heritage that continues today. Modern New Orleans cooking meets Haute Creole in the kitchen of the Commander's Palace, or you can dine on fresh regional cuisine at the famous Mr. B's Bistro in the heart of the French Quarter - either way, you'll love the flavors of N'awlins! Then get into a "spirited" exploration of the city as you make your way to historic bars and sample classic concoctions on a walking tour.

For the epitome of personal luxury, the four-star and four-diamond Windsor Court Hotel invites you to relax in its classic elegance. A historic setting, modern amenities and excellent service beckon you to the Hyatt Centric French Quarter New Orleans, which sits adjacent to the famed Bourbon Street. And for a bit of New Orleans charm, the distinct Maison Dupuy Hotel gives you the perfect combination of luxurious relaxation and the hustle and bustle of Bourbon Street.

Since 1880, Commander's Palace has been a New Orleans landmark known for the award-winning quality of its food and many commodious dining rooms. From your first sip of a Sazerac to your last crumb of bread pudding soufflé, you’ll be pampered and delighted – and that’s what New Orleans is all about!

Mr. B's Bistro, a New Orleans institution renowned for its fresh Creole cuisine, is right in the heart of the French Quarter. Considered the original New Orleans gourmet bistro, Mr. B's Bistro uses only the freshest, local ingredients in its dishes, creating culinary masterpieces from fried oysters on the half shell, to rich country-style gumbo, scrumptious crab cakes to the classic shrimp and grits! Whatever your taste, treat yourself to a hearty meal at Mr. B's!

Discover New Orleans 'spirited' side on a fun and informative cocktail tour! You'll rub shoulders with local imbibers at historic bars and restaurants and sip on classic concoctions like the Sazerac and Pimm's Cup. At each legendary venue, admire the mixology of notable bartenders and learn the origins and truths of centuries-old cocktails from your guide.
