Where Every Street Corner Tells a Story
New Orleans is unlike any other city in the world — a place where jazz spills from doorways, above-ground tombs stand draped in silence, and centuries of French, Spanish, African, and American cultures fuse into something completely its own. Your Uvamai audio tour unlocks all of it.
This is a digital download product.

The Crescent City's Greatest Landmarks
From sacred cathedrals to jazz-soaked parks, from haunting cemeteries to grand Beaux-Arts stations — every stop comes alive with expert narration.
New Orleans Union Station
Marvel at the stunning Beaux-Arts architecture of this magnificent 1954 transportation hub. Your audio guide reveals the station's pivotal role in connecting New Orleans to the rest of America and uncovers hidden symbolism in its ornate decorations — stories of the golden age of rail travel in the gateway city.
Old St. Patrick's Church
Step into the oldest Catholic church building in New Orleans, where Irish immigrants found sanctuary in the 1830s. Explore its survival through yellow fever epidemics and fires, and hear the intimate stories of families who built this community — a beacon of hope through the city's most harrowing chapters.
New Orleans Public Library — Main Library
Delve into the intellectual heart of the city at this Works Progress Administration gem. Discover rare jazz archives, Louisiana cookbooks, and famous authors who researched here — and learn how this institution safeguarded the city's literary heritage through natural disasters and social upheaval.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Church
Encounter the spiritual guardian of New Orleans — the "Mortuary Chapel" central to the city's complex relationship with death and celebration. Learn about its connection to the jazz funeral tradition and the miraculous healings attributed to its shrine, blending Mexican, French, and American Catholic traditions.
French Quarter
Immerse yourself in America's most captivating neighbourhood. Three centuries of wrought-iron balconies, cobblestone streets, pirates, politicians, and artists unfold as your guide reveals the secrets of the famous buildings and the scandalous stories of their former residents in this UNESCO World Heritage district.
Jackson Square
Stand in the heart of New Orleans' most iconic public space beneath the shadow of St. Louis Cathedral. Hear how this colonial military parade ground transformed into a cultural hub — including the Louisiana Purchase transfer ceremony that changed the map of North America forever.
St. Louis Cathedral
Enter the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States. Your guide shares the cathedral's remarkable survival through fires, hurricanes, and wars — revealing the hidden symbolism in stained glass windows and the famous figures who worshipped within these storied walls.
Louis Armstrong Park
Celebrate the birthplace of jazz at this culturally rich park dedicated to New Orleans' most famous musical son. Discover the park's connection to Congo Square, where enslaved Africans maintained their traditions through music and dance — creating the foundations of jazz, blues, and modern American sound.
The Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at NOMA
Wander through one of the South's most important sculpture installations, where world-renowned artworks create dialogue between nature and creativity. Your guide reveals each sculpture's cultural significance, from modernism to contemporary installation art, amid Louisiana's stunning native landscape.
New Orleans City Park
Explore one of America's oldest urban parks, where ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss once sheltered duelling Creole gentlemen. Discover the hidden stories behind a century-old carousel, botanical gardens, and the community's extraordinary determination to restore this beloved space after Hurricane Katrina.
National Shrine of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos
Visit the sacred site dedicated to a beloved priest whose compassion touched countless lives during New Orleans' yellow fever epidemics. Hear the remarkable story of Father Seelos, whose selfless ministry to the sick and marginalised earned him veneration as one of the city's most beloved religious figures.
Lafayette Cemetery No. 1
Enter the hauntingly beautiful "City of the Dead" where elaborate above-ground tombs tell the stories of New Orleans' most prominent families. Discover why New Orleans buries above ground — and hear the exclusive stories of Civil War heroes, yellow fever victims, and the families who shaped the Crescent City.
Christ Church Cathedral
Experience the elegant beauty of New Orleans' oldest non-Roman Catholic church. Gothic Revival architecture creates an atmosphere of serene spirituality, while your guide reveals stunning stained glass, a century-old pipe organ, and the congregation members who shaped the city's business and cultural life.
Audubon Park
Discover the natural paradise along the mighty Mississippi River. Your guide reveals the park's origins as sugar plantations, its transformation into the site of the 1884 World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, and naturalist John James Audubon's connection — alongside the park's heroic Katrina recovery.

New Orleans Travel Tips
Make the most of your Crescent City adventure with these practical pointers.
Best Time to Visit
February–May for ideal weather and Mardi Gras season. October–November for mild autumn. June–September is hot and very humid — tour early morning or evening and take air-conditioned breaks.
Getting Around
The historic St. Charles streetcar ($1.25) and Canal Street line cover many attractions. Uber and Lyft are widely available. The French Quarter and most sites are walkable — wear comfortable shoes.
Currency & Tips
US Dollar (USD). Credit cards accepted everywhere. Tip 15–20% at restaurants, $1–2 per drink at bars, and always tip street performers who entertain you — it's a local custom and a sign of respect.
French Quarter Etiquette
People live and work in the Quarter — be mindful of residents. Bourbon Street is crowded; keep valuables secure. Stick to well-lit streets after dark and use rideshare rather than walking alone late at night.
Cemetery Visits
Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 opens Mon–Fri 7 AM–3 PM, Sat 7 AM–12 PM, closed Sunday. Visit during daylight only. Do not sit on or lean against tombs — treat these sacred spaces with the respect they deserve.
What to Eat & Drink
Must-try: beignets at Café du Monde, po'boys, gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish. You can legally walk and drink in the French Quarter. Try a Sazerac — the official cocktail of New Orleans, invented right here in 1838.
Weather & Seasons
Afternoon thunderstorms are common June–September. Carry a compact umbrella. Hurricane season runs June–November — monitor forecasts and know your accommodation's emergency procedures.
Internet & Data
Strong mobile coverage throughout the city. Free WiFi at most hotels, cafes, and Jackson Square. International visitors should consider a local SIM or international data plan — you need internet to stream audio guides.
What Travellers Say
Verified reviews from independent explorers who experienced New Orleans the Uvamai way.
"This self-guided tour was exactly what we needed for our first visit to New Orleans. We learned so much about the city's history that we never would have known. Being able to go at our own pace meant we could really soak in the atmosphere of the French Quarter. The Lafayette Cemetery guide was particularly fascinating."
Sarah M. — San Francisco, CA
"We've taken many guided tours in different cities, but this self-guided experience was superior in every way. No waiting for stragglers, no missing information because someone was talking, and we could take coffee breaks whenever we wanted! We appreciated being able to replay sections at St. Louis Cathedral."
James & Linda K. — Toronto, Canada
"Travelling with two teenagers and elderly parents, we needed flexibility more than anything. This audio tour was perfect! When the kids got tired, we took breaks. When Grandma needed to sit, we found a bench and still learned from the audio. The Louis Armstrong Park section was fascinating for our jazz-loving son."
Roberto F. — Miami, FL
"As a history professor, I'm particular about accuracy and depth. This audio tour exceeded my expectations. The research was excellent and the storytelling compelling. Learning about the hidden history of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church and the architectural details of Union Station added so much to my understanding."
Dr. Emily T. — Boston, MA
"Travelling solo, this audio tour felt like having a knowledgeable friend showing me around New Orleans. The Japanese audio was perfectly clear and professionally recorded. I loved that I could explore at my own pace, stop for lunch when I was hungry, and spend extra time photographing the beautiful French Quarter buildings."
Kenji S. — Tokyo, Japan
"As a photographer, traditional tours never allow enough time for great shots. This self-guided experience was perfect! I visited City Park at golden hour, returned to Jackson Square for sunset photos, and took my time at the Sculpture Garden. The audio guides helped me understand what I was photographing — it made my images more meaningful."
Amanda L. — Seattle, WA
"We had only two days in New Orleans before our cruise departed, and this tour helped us make the most of our time. We visited 10 of the 14 attractions, skipping a few to allow more time at our favourites. The six-day access gave us plenty of flexibility. Brilliant concept, brilliantly executed!"
Michael & Patricia D. — London, UK
"The Spanish audio guides were excellent — clear pronunciation and proper translations. We toured St. Louis Cathedral and Christ Church Cathedral in our native language. Being able to take breaks in air-conditioned cafés during the hot afternoon and continuing later was wonderful. It made our New Orleans experience truly special."
Carlos & Maria G. — Madrid, Spain
"This tour took us to places we never would have found on our own. The National Shrine of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos was deeply moving — we never would have known about it otherwise. The historical depth at every location was impressive: not just dates and names, but real stories about real people."
Thomas R. — Sydney, Australia
"We almost didn't buy this because we thought we'd rather just explore on our own, but we're so glad we did! Walking through Lafayette Cemetery WITH the stories about the people buried there and the historical context was absolutely fascinating. The tour transformed our experience into truly understanding the soul of New Orleans."
Rachel & David M. — New York, NY
