Traveler reviews
A Super Fun Tour of the Garden District
It was our first time in New Orleans and we knew we wanted to explore the Garden District. While we could have easily explored it on our own with our noses buried in our phones to look up the histories of each house, it was so much easier and more enjoyable to book this tour. Neil was a fantastic tour guide! A local with so much knowledge, personal stories due to his own connections, and genuine love for his city, our tour consisted only the 2 of us so we got the VIP treatment. It was a great pace and we were able to pack in a ton of information in 2 hours. If you're a history buff and/or architecture nerd, I would highly recommend this tour. It also would appeal to the pop culture fans as well, you'll see many homes that either belong or used to house the rich and famous. Thanks, Neil, for one of our favorite activities of the week!!
