Important Notes ​

  • Traveling within New Orleans requires frequent walking. Please be prepared to walk up to a half a mile at a time, adding up to several miles in a day. Some walk ways are known to be very uneven surfaces.​

  • Travelers under age 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

  • UWSP Continuing Education does not provide travel insurance, medical, or emergency evacuation and thus you are 100% responsible for these expenses. We strongly advise you purchase travel insurance as soon as possible after register​ing for a trip because some insurance providers only guarantee certain benefits within a short time after you make a travel deposit. We also advise carrying health insurance while on any tour as well.

  • Travelers may want to consider short-term traveler's insurance that covers baggage, accident/life, trip interruption, trip cancellation, and more. Visit Travel Insurance Review​ to answer any of your travel insurance questions, get tips, and advice, or compare different providers.
