Libby was energetic, knowledgeable, and very engaging. I would highly recommend her! Loved her insights about the homes and surroundings. The pace was perfect for us.

Renee, our tour guide, was lovely and so much fun as she explained the architectural history of the homes as it tied into the history of the city. We were lucky to have a small group of three on this tour and could ask plenty of questions. This was such a wonderful way to see some of the beautiful homes in the area and learn about some of its famous residents (past and present). If you’re looking for a great way to learn about the city’s history away from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter, then definitely check out the walking tour of the Garden District.

Yvonne was an amazing tour guide during our Garden district walking tour! A New Orleans native, she was very knowledgable about the neighborhood and the history of New Orleans as a whole. I also very much appreciated the smaller group of 10 people
