Badly Behaved Women Tour
Step back in time and uncover the stories of extraordinary women who shaped New Orleans. In the early 1700s, hundreds of women were falsely arrested and sent to the frontier colony with no resources or hope, yet they endured and became the city's founding mothers. Fast forward to the turn of the century, where brothel queens lived in marble and mahogany palaces, jazz pioneers played in their bars, and even a circus brothel brought performances to life onstage.
Along the way, you’ll learn about other bold women who broke all the rules, like the Baroness Pontalba and Voudou Queen Marie Laveau. With plenty of laughs, engaging stories, and answers to your questions, this tour brings these vibrant time periods to life. Enjoy fun extras like a book of visuals, a take-home Polaroid of your group, and more!
