Amazing Tour!
Bob was a wonderful tour guide, making it fun and very informative about so many interesting details of the garden district. I really appreciated his attention to detail and genuine love and appreciation of the area. When I’m in town again, I will definitely take another tour with Bob!
Very knowledgeable guide
Bob really knew his stuff. Not just the history of the famous owners of homes in the garden district, but the architectural history and style as well.
Beautiful day in the Garden District
We had a great time on the rich and famous homes tour of the Garden District. Robert Bell is a knowledgeable and experienced guide who has a deep appreciation and awareness of the area. He is a part of the community as a number of the residents who passed by us said hi; and acknowledged Bob by name. His personal anecdotes added so much flair and color to the history and he even stuck around for a few minutes after the tour to share some personal recommendations. We loved this tour ad really appreciated Bob's tour. Highly recommended.
