This was my favorite part of our trip to New Orleans! This tour highlighted all the historic and celebrity homes in the beautiful garden district as well as a stop in Lafayette cemetery! It was nice to get away from the busy city and walk around in the neighborhood, plus it was a very small group so went at our own pace and really touched on it all! Jackie our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable of the New Orleans culture and the area! We end the tour right on the corner where Commanders Palace restaurant is so it was a perfect ending to a great day!!

Thank you for taking the time to review your Garden District tour with Jackie! I am so happy that you enjoyed your time with her. Jackie is a natural storyteller and, as a native of Louisiana with roots in New Orleans and Cajun country, has an insight into the unique culture of this special place that really comes across on her tours, Thank you for touring with us, and please come again.

The highlight of our trip to New Orleans was this tour. We got to see the cemetery and the beautiful houses. Our tour guide, James was darling. He was super funny and does good impressions of people. I recommend this tour to every tourist to make the most of your trip; especially if you aren’t staying very long.
