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.

We traveled to the area as a couple with a single friend helping her live her dream trip. Suzanne was the perfect tour guide and started out asking my friend what she wanted to see and learn. My friend wanted to know all about the Anne Rice homes, so we saw many of them. Suzanne was so knowledgeable and answered any question we asked about the tour or other places to see, dine, experience in the area. It was a beautiful day with so many gorgeous houses with a ton of history! We walked around for 2.5 hours. My advice is to take your camera and do this early in your trip to help plan the rest of your stay in the area.
