Thank you so much for reviewing your Garden District tour with James! That neighborhood is so beautiful, but the stories behind the mansions and the tombs are what really make it a treasure! James is an excellent guide with a gift for funny storytelling and I am so happy that you were able to tour with him. Please come again!

It was a rainy morning, and other customers decided to bail. My husband and I ended up being the only ones on the tour, which was very nice. We got the VIP treatment, and learned so much about the area. We looked at beautiful homes, the plants, and got history on the area. The neighborhood friendly cat also made an appearance. Loved the morning tour!! I highly recommend.

If my just my girlfriend and I so we had the tour to ourselves. Our guide Roni was amazing! We toured Lafayette cemetery #1 and the garden district and he had an expansive knowledge of the whole area along with its history. He even pointed out some of the interesting houses coupled with the tales of how they came to be. He also pointed out the homes owned by stars from film and sports. If you’re interested in seeing this district - this is the tour to take!
