A Locals' Garden District Tour

Overview

With seven generations growing up in New Orleans my family has deep roots in the French quarter and the Garden District. As a child going to Audubon Montessori I rode the Saint Charles street car everyday and later went to Loyola University during Katrina. We will be touring through very familiar territory :-) please take your tours from locals it makes such a big difference!

Leanne was such a great tour guide! We enjoyed her local's perspective of the city and her knowledge of the history and architecture. The tour was paced just right and is scheduled so that you don't feel like you are wasting tour time when you stop for beignets and coffee. We saw so many beautiful things on the tour and were able to identify things we wanted to go back to and spend more time at after the tour. We felt more confident navigating New Orleans on our own after her insights during the tour. We would highly recommend any tour Leanne offers!
