Gas Lantern Experiences was founded to impart our deep love and vast knowledge of New Orleans to you. We make your visit memorable through unique experiences and events specific to your tastes and preferences. Rather than merely sending you off to explore Bourbon Street or leaving you with a large, impersonal group tour, we expose the uncommon, surprising, and exciting New Orleans hidden beneath. Don’t get us wrong, we love a private balcony overlooking the madness of The Quarter as much as the next person. It is finding the right balcony, with the right amenities, that we appreciate and dedicate ourselves to.  We can’t wait to uncover the true New Orleans with you and your guests!

Gas Lantern Experiences founder, Cate Esser, may hail from the frigid Northeast, but she eats (a lot), sleeps (barely) and breathes New Orleans. She migrated south over five years ago to follow her love of music and has been exploring it’s every nook and cranny since. Because of her sarcastic nature, she’s made friends with myriad locals who have pointed her to all the best secret local spots she may never have known about otherwise. She lives in Mid City with her two pets (Poon - a Northeast native and Tang - a New Orleans native) and enjoys reading, seeing any and all live shows, and discovering new things about the city in the bits of spare time she has.
