If you want a deeper dive into Nola history and architecture, take the Marigny tour with Guy! Fabulous exploration of this diverse melting pot neighborhood and its unique homes.

If we had gold stars, you would get one for being the 1st guest to post a review about our brand new Marigny Tour! The Marigny is such an interesting neighborhood due to the diverse group of people who lived and worked there. Free People of Color, Haitian refugees, and Irish and German immigrants created the architecture seen in this section of town. Thanks so much for leading the way with this five star review. :)

I am very happy to have chosen this tour. The guide -Guy- was very friendly, with great pleasure he shared his passion for architecture and also for New Orleans. The visit went by too quickly.
