In the packed streets of the French quarters, New Orleans explodes into a street party unlike any other the day before Ash Wednesday.
Despite the festival actually taking place across multiple cities, it's heart and soul belongs solely to New Orleans. The blues roots than run through it's veins, bleed from a cacophony of brass instruments during the festivities and cobbled French colonial streets are converted into quaint dance floors full of care-free dancing and bead exchanging.
Not technically. It's a holiday like Easter or Christmas and can be celebrated anywhere. But the true heart of Mardi Gras is no doubt in New Orleans.
It always begins on January 6th but the ending date changes depending on when Easter Sunday falls.
The festival itself is free, just turn up with enough to spend on face paint, drinks and beads to ensure you're knee deep in the festivities.
Rob was a fantastic guide. The trip was very enjoyable and Robs knowledge and expertise were great. Would defo recommend
Excellent service from start to finish. I booked the National 3 Peasks challenge in 24 hours. i had regular communication from Rob and the team prioe to the event checking in on my progress, which really spurred me on as well as a helpful fitness plan i has to folow. For the challenge itself Rob and Tim really helped put the group at ease, and was very encouraging. Such a credit to business. i would not hesitate at all in recommending bookitlist to friends and family and will define use again in the future. Thank you for pushing me to finish the challenge!

Simply put, the world's most iconic music festival.
The tiny town of Buñol sleeps peacefully in the countryside of eastern Spain… until thousands of tomato-wielding lunatics descend on it each year.
The world's most famous and decadent film festival is a hive of celebrity action.
