(Historic New Orleans Tours, Inc.)
Seller Description:
Although Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, its ramifications are very much with us today - not only in New Orleans but throughout the United States. TIME Magazine called it "The storm that changed America."
Katrina is definitely not local news so you will benefit from seeing how it directly impacts you. Most significant is the fact that by now, this tour is as much about the inspiring recovery and strength of the human spirit as it is about the tragic devastation.
Historic New Orleans Tours has been an industry leader since 1996 and our guides have all personally lived through Katrina.
