Erin was amazing! So...
Erin was amazing! So knowledgeable and delightful! Thank you for the wonderful afternoon! This tour was on my bucket list and I made the right choice going with this company.
Take this tour! It gave me a whole new appreciation for New Orleans!
I absolutely loved this Garden District walking tour! I learned so much about the neighborhood, its rich history, unique culture, and the fascinating stories that make this area of New Orleans so special. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely sweet. She brought the Garden District to life through her engaging storytelling and happily answered every single one of my questions...and I had a lot! Her passion for the city was contagious, and it made the experience feel personal and immersive. I especially loved learning about the different architectural styles throughout the neighborhood and hearing about the famous and historical figures who lived in many of the beautiful homes we passed. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the area and everything I was seeing. If you're visiting New Orleans and want to truly understand the Garden District beyond its beautiful streets and mansions, I can't recommend this tour enough. It was informative, entertaining, and one of the highlights of my trip!
Amazing!
An extraordinary experience. In the hottest part of the year, coming out for only my wife and I, Libby was absolutely wonderful. Truly a wealth of knowledge. From city general history to the architectural stylings of every home and it's past, to the former owners and their own stories. It was remarkable and Libby always kept it interesting. A highlight of our New Orleans visit!
Fun history lesson!
Yvonne did an excellent job! She had a good sense of humor and kept our attention throughout. We learned a lot of fun facts and historical bits that we’re grateful for. Would highly recommend this tour!
Garden District is lovely!
Great walk through a beautiful neighborhood. Our guide Lesley was very knowledgeable about the area, and she kept the group engaged, and in the shade!
