What TO DO in New Orleans in 48 HOURS!!

Two days is a short trip to New Orleans, but we have a lot planned to see and experience as much as possible!! We take a helicopter tour over the city, eat dinner at Acme Oyster House (one of our favorites in the French Quarter), take a fantastic and very interesting ghost tour and even catch a Mardi Gras parade we didn’t know about… and that’s just in day 1!!
The next day go easy for breakfast as we have a three hour walking food tour in Uptown… oh my goodness, that was incredible!!! We also check out Vue Orleans which is a new interactive, indoor and outdoor art experience about the city… this is a must do! And we end the night with some live music on Bourbon Street and we watch a very interesting walking sci-fi parade… what a great city!!!

Thanks so much for spending time on my tour and shouting out my KZbin channel. Yall are welcome back in the Big Easy anytime

You were AMAZING!! Such a fabulous tour and we had a great time!!

[@sabrinalavdisarnold825]

That food looked tasty! Great picks.

[@goingplaces1860]

As a former Army helicopter pilot, I had to laugh at that Tom cruise reference.😂 I can only imagine what thoughts were going through that tour helicopter pilot’s head when you said that. Great tour of NOLA! BTW, one of the best attractions there is the National WWII Museum, that was established, due in large part by efforts of historian Steven Ambrose- author of Band of Brothers. He was from New Orleans. The Higgins boat landing craft is featured prominently here since the boat was produced by another famous Louisianan, Andrew Higgins. It’s a fantastic museum!

[@EECCTravels]

It is a wonderful museum! We went a few years ago and have an entire video on it.

[@carriebranham4151]

this was one of the things I wanted to go see while we are there, thank you for the info!!! I LOVE band of brothers, and will definitely make this trip to the WWII museum.

Omg that helicopter ride was fantastic. I’d love to go to New Orleans. Such history in the French quarter. The food, the people and music make it so great.

We live in Missouri and have literally driven to New Orleans just to eat at Acme.... more than once. :)

Every city has unsafe areas, just stay away from them. The ‘tourist’ areas in NOLA have always felt safe to us.

I have enjoyed watching your travel and cruise videos for several years. I miss Jason's long hair :) I want to say that your hair Alisa looks great. Loved this video. I will be there in 2 weeks and will definitely go to Vue Orleans. Acme is also a favorite of mine, but I also like New Orleans Creole Cookery for their Happy Hour. As Alisa said, so much great food in NO. Have a great cruise!

I feel like I missed a few videos. Are you guys still doing the RV traveling???? Love your videos!!! This one's making me want to go back to NOLA!!

Did the oysters in Nola same weekend....cross off the bucket list. Cafe du Monde on the Saturday wasn't bad...at 2 in afternoon hehe....another one off the bucket list. This was our first time in Nola, and definitely won't be the last.

So I just found out as a AAA Member, there are discounts for a numerous things. One thing I found was a 7 1/2 hour tour for $105 a person. This tour consists of a 3 hour bus tour of New Orleans, a walking tour of St. Louis Cemetery #3, and a swamp boat tour of the Mississippi and bayou. They also pick you up and drop off at your hotel.

[@KylaBroad]

I just started watching your videos and I love how honest and fun you guys are. Would love to travel with you. Thanks for just keeping it real in your videos!!!!

Phenominal Vid! Thank you!

[@hgodvilla00]

When you said, "We are on the East Side of New Orleans", a chill went up my back and made my body shudder. East New Orleans, especially eveything east of Gentilly, is the most dangerous area of the city.

[@TravelAdventureswithEricB]

That was excellent and you sold me on Vue Orleans .

[@chriscapano3406]

The Wyndham on Royal is such a great spot to stay in the Quarter. Right near the action but not right on Bourbon. I think I was actually in the Quarter the night y'all were there. I saw that parade, Krewe du Vieux I think it was called. Wish I know you guys were in town, I love the channel would have been so cool to meet you!

[@ARCAdventures]

Great great video!! Nicely done!! So we drove in the night before the cruise but sometime we need to spend several days here and definitely book your tour guide. He stopped at the best food places! Yep we missed out! 😂😂 lol

New Orleans is my favorite city!! Definitely go back when you can spend some time there. There is so much to do!!

Ran into you guys on the parade route before the parade got there! Awesome to meet you! I was a bit star struck, so I apologize if it was awkward! Chicago pizza is WAYYYY better than New York, hopefully you guys can get up this way soon!

I would love to do a helicopter tour but am tooo afraid. The ghost and food tours looked amazing. Just love watching your videos. BTW I am loving your hair are you going to keep it short? I think it looks so good on you.

[@keeva7313]

Finally! An intelligent, interesting video of some fascinating things to do besides taking selfies on Bourbon St. with a 3 foot drink in your hand, as if it was the only place to see. You clearly know and love the city. I loved that you started with a helicopter ride. I'll be in NOLA next week, and we're staying right down the street from Mahoney's. I want to visit all the places on the food tour! (But Haydels is closed for Mardi Gras break) Terence Osborne---what a wonderful find! And Vue New Orleans---I really want to do that, but must overcome my fear of elevators. This was a great video. P.S. I love your earrings.

Thank you!

Acworth isn't far from us and there used to be a Cajun restaurant there , how interesting on that connection

OK SO YOU 2 NEED TO CHECK OUT OVER HER SHOULDER IN THE SKY, 7 MINUTES AND 51 SECONDS IN THERE IS AN ORB IN THE SKY ZZOMIN TOWARD THE CITY.

Great video you two! Jason have you ever had the charbroiled oysters at Drago's? I honestly thought they were better than Acme's. Love both of your tours, felt like I was there. I've done my own food tour, but after watching this video I may do a guided one.
