Traveler reviews
Great Garden tour
Very knowledgeable tour guide. Lots of historical information about the garden area as well as New Orleans.
Worth it!
I had a wonderful time! Libby, the guide, had all of the local knowledge as well as international context of New Orleans history. She answered all of my questions and more. Great value! I saw and learned so much more than the self guided tours and can’t wait to return. - Marcia, Asheville NC
A great tour

120 minutes of NOLA Garden District architecture + history + humor
Booked the 1pm tour last minute and then was easily able to switch to the 4pm group. Erin, our guide was insightful, funny, thoughtful and a treasure trove of facts and data. Her love for the neighborhood was only outshone by the beauty of the place.
So fun and interesting
We had a lot of fun on this tour. Erin was our guide and made the tour interesting, funny, and memorable. She was full of knowledge and enthusiasm about the history. Definitely would recommend.
