Our guide was very versed in the architecture and history of the garden district. There were 20 people so not my idea of a small group.

Thank you so much for leaving a five star recommendation for our company! The architecture and the history of the Garden District make it a neighborhood like no other. I don’t know why there were so many people on your tour! We have actually never had a public tour of 20 people, so I hope there weren’t any uninvited hangers on! When we do have 20 people who book a tour, we add a second guide and divide it into two groups of 10. In any case, I’m glad you enjoyed our tour and I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Please come again!

Thank you! James is very knowledgeable and funny, and when we walk with our small groups, it definitely is a personalized tour. Every tour is slightly different depending on the interests and questions of our guests. Thank you so much for the recommendation, and I hope you come walk with us next time you make it to New Orleans.

James was a great guide. Very informed, great personality, and really funny. I really liked that it is a small group - there were only 6 if us which was nice. Highly recommend this tour
