Traveler reviews
Unique insight into the Garden District on foot
Thank you very much to Libby, a wonderful walking tour through the Garden District. Libby has a vast amount of knowledge and shared information on the history of the area, architectural features and the social history of New Orleans over the last three centuries. Libby is engaging and has an impressive storytelling style, the two hours flew by. Based on our discussions during the tour, she messaged me the following day with a book suggestion for further reading which I was able to secure to take home with me. The day before I did a walking tour of French Quarter with one of her colleagues. The groups are small and I highly recommend Lucky Bean Tours when looking for walking tours in New Orleans.
Great local info
Libby was such a great guide. She found out what the group was interested in and where we were from and made sure to highlight those interests or make connections with where we were from if possible. Gave it a personal touch. You can tell she loves her city and knows a lot of inside baseball about the way the neighborhoods and communities work and connect to each other both historically and currently. Learned so much and had a great time!
