Hurricane Katrina Tour
In the wake of one of the worst hurricanes to ever hit the
United States, Gray Line Tours offers a three-hour bus ride around
some of the hardest hit areas in New Orleans, including Lakeview
and Gentilly, and is aimed at gathering support to rebuild the
city. To respect the privacy of the locals, buses will not allow
tourists off the bus to take pictures, but will pass around
pictures of the storm and its destruction, and guides will describe
the events before and after the storm hit the city, as well as
explaining the significance of the levee system.
