Great tour! Our tour guide James was really good, we didn't have a chance to visit the cementary because of the good Friday but he did take us to the house in which American horror story was filmed. Totally recommended

Thanks for the review and recommendation! Although Lafayette cemetery is beautiful, sometimes it is closed. We prefer to go into it, but when we can't we just get to see more of the stunning Garden District! I'm glad James was able to take you to the beautiful Buckner Mansion, which will now always be known as the "American Horror House." Hopefully, next time you come to New Orleans we will be able to visit the cemetery!

We were very impressed with James' knowledge of the garden district homes and Lafayette cemetery. James was very entertaining with an exceptional sense of humor. His knowledge of the history and current times of the area impressed us all. He knew people we met along the way and talked of the research he did about the aspects of our tour. We've already told people back home that if they ever get in New Orleans to take the Garden District and Lafayette Cemetery and specifically ask for James.

Awesome tour guide and very knowledgeable. Didn’t rush us and answered all of our questions. Beautiful and quite nice to be out of the drench district and see a new area. Thanks!

Questions make a great tour! That is why we keep our groups small: people ask questions, which shapes the content and sometimes the route of the tour so all of our Lucky Bean guests get a customized experience and come away with a deeper understanding of the culture of New Orleans. We are so glad that you were able to tour this lovely area and we really appreciate your review.
