Walking tour

Bring a fan and water and know that there is more talking than walking. Our tour guide was very nice, and knowledgeable , but had low energy and was hard to hear.

Great Tour of the Garden Dist

Watch the weather report before you leave. We had a downpour at the end of our tour. I was grateful for my umbrella and raincoat. There is a very sweet cafe LePetite Blue at the end of the tour. Highly recommend Great tour guide. Loved the historic mansions and live oaks

Kayley was great and...

Kayley was great and extremely knowledgeable! Only feedback I have is on the busy streets with traffic it was hard to hear her soft spoken voice. But we thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Thank you!

Garden district NOLA

Here’s the updated version with the correct name: From the moment we met Kayley, she was fantastic. She was incredibly informative and took the time to explain the history, architecture and stories of the Garden District in New Orleans in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. Kayley was great company throughout the tour, very knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the area. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much, Kayley, for such a wonderful experience.
