New Orleans Garden District Historical Tour: Destined To Be Different

Overview

The Garden District survives as a showcase of magnificent houses and gardens. Hear the stories of the cotton brokers and commission merchants who made their home in the Garden District. One Of The Most Unique Neighborhoods In All America: The Garden District became a fashionable enclave of New Orleans’ most successful American citizens, and moving “Uptown” to the prestigious Garden District was considered the culmination of one’s achievements. Please Note: The City of New Orleans has closed Lafayette Cemetery #1 for repairs. While the Cemetery is closed The Savvy Native has expanded its Garden District Tour to include historical sites not normally included in our 2 hour tour.

If we could leave 10 stars we would! Suzanne was our tour guide and it was only myself and my husband, so it was a very personalized tour. Suzanne was AMAZING!! Incredibly knowledgeable and extremely personable, she made our entire tour so enjoyable. She clearly knows her history and loves sharing it with others. Highly recommend this activity.
