Hurricane Katrina: Past, Present and Future Driving Tour

Choose from a morning or afternoon departure, and meet your driver and guid at your French Quarter hotel. Hop into a private vehicle suited to your group size, and head out on a driving tour through the city’s diverse communities. See the sites that played a key role in the storm’s devastating effects, such as the levees and neighborhoods most affected by flooding. Along the way, learn about the topographical, engineering, and human factors that made New Orleans such a vulnerable target through an honest and open discussion with your guide. See how the city has rebuilt in the past decade and how the hurricane reshaped local communities. Hear about what's being done to prevent another such disaster in the future, and get a look at new development and storm defense projects under construction by the Army Corps of Engineers. Feel free to ask all the questions you like on this private tour, and stay comfortable with restroom and refreshment stops. The 3-hour experience concludes with drop-off at a convenient downtown New Orleans location.
