One of the best things about a tour of New Orleans is that most of its major tourist sites are within easy reach. Use caution when driving through the roads, as the city's past and climatic conditions have made some kerbs and pavements bumpy.

There are some paved roads in the Quarter, but most of them are within easy reach on foot. On the other hand, they have a tendency to have broad roads with lots of space to negotiate impassable areas.
