Tue, 7th October 2008 - Wed, 26th November 2008
An eyewitness account of the events surrounding the most devastating natural (or man-made?) disaster on American soil!

  • Learn the history of the original city, the French Quarter, and why it was built at this particular location along the Mississippi River.


  • We’ll drive past an actual levee that "breached" and see the resulting devastation that displaced hundreds of thousands of U.S. residents.

  • The direct connection between America’s disappearing coastal wetlands, oil & gas pipelines, levee protection and hurricane destruction will be explained.

  • Your tour guide will give a "local’s" chronology of events leading up to Hurricane Katrina and the days immediately following the disaster.

  • This tour will travel through neighborhoods such as Lakeview, Gentilly, New Orleans East, and the Ninth Ward, including a ride past the Musicians’ Village.

  • You’ll be amazed at the volume and variety of products "offloaded" in the multimodal port of New Orleans, the second largest port in the country, and then distributed to your hometown.

  • Did you know that 30% of the seafood (fish, crabs, shrimp, oysters, and crawfish) harvested in the lower 48 states comes from the coastal wetlands in South Louisiana?

    • After this tour, you’ll have a better understanding of events pre and post Katrina and the "Rebirth of New Orleans!"
