Hello, Kristy!
As my previous guests have mentioned, the French Quarter tour is all walking. The tour of Metairie Cemetery is a combination of riding and walking; we drive to the cemetery, get out and visit the final resting place of a soldiers or citizen, return to the vehicle and drive to the next resting place, etc. As far as battlefields go, unfortunately all the battlefields around New Orleans are all roughly an hour's drive outside of the city. Whether it's down the river to Fort Jackson, or up the River to Baton Rouge, or to the west along Bayou Lafourche or Teche, all the battlefields are outside the city. What a Civil War tour consists of in New Orleans are stories about how New Orleans was important for political, social, and economic reasons. You could always private hire with me and we spend a few hours driving around the city while we stop and visit locations that relate to the Civil War; i.e. private homes, military headquarters, military prisons, etc. Contact me directly if you would be interested in this at. Also, as a side note, on October 21 I am leading a bus tour out of New Orleans to travel along Bayou Lafourche to visit the four battlefields along that bayou, as well as visit some plantations. There will also be a catered lunch. This bus tour is limited to 50, and I suspect that it will sell out long before the tour date.
Thank you for your interest in Civil War Tours of New Orleans!
