With local ties dating back over 300 years, our founder, DeAnna DuPont, keeps her family legacy alive and improves it through her mission of nurturing both the cultural and creative landscape of Louisiana. She is a licensed tour guide in New Orleans and New York City, Tourism Director for Louisiana Culture, Writer with Hearst Publishing, and a dedicated advocate for responsible tourism.
At DuPont and Company, we believe in the three C's: Community, culture, and connection. We don't just guide tours — we pass the torch of our heritage, one story at a time.​​​​​​​​
