Historic Carrollton Walking Tour

Check Out the Sights, Sounds, and Streets of the Carrollton Neighborhood

Our newest walking tour! Step into the charming Carrollton neighborhood, where history, culture, and architecture meet the streetcar and the Mississippi River.

Led by a knowledgeable guide, Emily Manger, better known as @TheCarrolltonian - you’ll dive into Carrollton's unique architectural landscape, spotting homes and landmarks that reflect the neighborhood’s development from a rural getaway to an integral part of New Orleans. Once a thriving resort town, Carrollton’s past is intricately tied to the famous St. Charles Streetcar, which helped shape it into the spirited area it is today. Learn the stories of influential families, visionary riverboat captains, industrious butchers, and pioneering dairy owners whose lives left lasting marks on Carrollton. Along the way, learn of celebrated spots like the Streetcar Barn, which keeps the world’s oldest continually running streetcar line rolling through its streets.

  • Great Carrollton Walking Tour with Emily

    “We really enjoyed the Carrollton Walking Tour with Emily. She is a Carrollton native, historian and has lots of funny stories. We loved the portrait of daily life that she painted of the early days of Carrollton. She has a natural ability to connect the past to present. Loved her tour.”

  • Excellent Tour of Underappreciated Neighborhood

    “This was an excellent tour of a part of New Orleans that doesn't get so many tourists. We learned so much, even though we used to live in this neighborhood. Would highly recommend for people interested in the less well known parts of New Orleans' history”.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “My girlfriend and I recently took Two Chick's Carrollton neighborhood tour with tour guide Emily. Emily's passion for her neighborhood is contagious. Her tour is a great way to learn a lot about New Orleans and is a fun way to experience a neighborhood that not all tourist get to enjoy. Definitely recommend!!!”

    Call United Cabs at 504-522-9771 or use Lyft or Uber apps for accurate arrivals.

  • Our tours happen rain or shine! New Orleans can be a little wet at times. In our experience a rain proof jacket with a hood is the most effective clothing to bring.

    Also, we have crafted tour routes that have scenes under cover wherever possible – using roofs, archways, awnings or even indoors.
