Overseeing tours of New Orleans in cozy streetcars, themed exhibitions and festivals is a great way to get a closer look at the most colorful city in the USA.
From among the possible pastime options:
Culinary workshops and food tours organized by Langlois and a number of other restaurants in the city. The cost of a tour in New Orleans during Mardi Gras is from $100 USD. Among travelers' favorite delicacies are chocolate bread pudding, river crawfish in gravy and more.
