For a different way to see New Orleans, consider a multimedia tour that takes passengers to locations where famous movie scenes were filmed and shows them a clip from the film on-site. It also takes you by the New Orleans homes of actors Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock and John Goodman.
To even see New Orleans, you need to park your RV - ideally out of the city - and then walk around. There are plenty of walking tours, including a free walking tour at the French Quarter Visitor Center of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. On the movie tour, you not only ride, but you get to see more of the city than the French Quarter. The tour takes you into lesser-known neighborhoods like Treme and the Faubourg Marigny.
The tour is about two hours long and includes popcorn and location stops and clips from about 30 films shot in New Orleans. If something is filming the day of your tour, they try to include it. In addition to tour schedules, their website includes a list of movie locations on the tour and what is currently filming in New Orleans.
If you're a movie fan, this tour is for you! Jaimie Hall Bruzenak
