Roni was an outstanding Tour Guide! He toured my 11-year-old grandson and me making history come alive for both of us! We loved learning about the beautiful and fascinating Garden District and Lafayette Cemetery. He answered all of our questions and gave us a delicious Praline as we ended our tour. I would highly recommend this Tour, especially with Roni!

Thanks for this wonderful review of your Garden District tour with Roni! “Making history come alive”-especially for different generations- is our goal and Roni certainly is great at it! I am glad you and your grandson were able to walk with us through the lovely garden district and old cemetery. Please join us again on your next visit!

Went to New Orleans for 6 days and this was definitely the highlight of the trip. James was so knowledgeable and we also had lots of laughs. The garden district was gorgeous. It was so neat to learn not only about the history of the homes, but about the people the reside in them. There are some big names in them! The cemetery was also really interesting and a must see! Thank you James for a great time!!

Thank you for such a great review! You would have to be an absolute monster not to laugh on a tour with James. He has a great way of sharing his real, researched, documented knowledge of the Garden District in a series of charming and funny stories. You don't even notice you're learning till you walk around the Garden District on your own and realize how much you know! We appreciate you taking the time to review Lucky Bean Tours, and we look forward to walking and laughing with you again.

Booked the tour on Saturday for a Sunday afternoon walk, ended up a private tour with my guide James. He is super friendly and knowledgeable! If the weather can be less humid, it would be perfect! I highly recommend you to join James and enjoy the beautiful houses in Garden district!

Thanks for touring and reviewing Lucky Bean Tours and for not taking any points off for the humidity! James is indeed a great tour guide and very good at keeping his guests in the shade as much as possible during the sultry New Orleans summer. The Garden District and its Lafayette Cemetery are true New Orleans treasures and shouldn't be missed when visiting the city. We are glad that you entrusted us with a few hours of your sacred vacation time and look forward to seeing you again - maybe in the fall or spring?
