The 23 Best Things to Do in New Orleans
"One thing about the city of New Orleans is that it’s very flat, and relatively low rise for a major American conurbation. Chances for panoramic views are limited, and visitors are limited to taking in the cityscape from rooftop bars or peaking through the concrete blocks of high-rise parking lots or hotel rooms. The only real solution is to take to the skies. Assuming you don’t have access to a private jet, Heli Co New Orleans offer an accessible option with their helicopter tours that come replete with knowledgeable pilot-guides, at the same time providing a welcomingly novel way to see the Crescent City. The new visual perspective that the flight offers is so refreshing, and the photo opportunities presented are a rare thing unto themselves. Pilots are happy to give a tour that would suit first timers, pointing out the more renowned sights, but even long-time residents would surely be impressed by views that aren’t otherwise possible." - Paul Oswell
