This 3-hour tour features architectural highlights from one of America’s oldest cities. Visit two of the oldest churches in the South: The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, actually proclaimed a Minor Basilica by Rome, of which there are only 64 on Earth, and Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral, which houses the finest collection of antique stained glass windows in the nation. See 600 square blocks of historic districts containing over 6,000 listings on the National Register of Historic Places and five antebellum museum homes you may choose to visit later. Opening times and weather permitting, we will visit the city’s oldest graveyard and Joseph Stillwell Cain’s grave, usually covered in Mardi Gras beads and doubloons. Cain revived Mardi Gras after the War of the Northern Aggression.
