Really enjoyed this tour. Very interesting to hear the history of the neighborhood. Have a better understanding of the architecture and how different cultures shaped the area. We had a great tour guide Josh. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour.

There ended up being only three of us on the tour. James was extremely knowledgeable and also had a tremendous sense of humor. We learned a fair amount about the history of the garden district, some of its occupants and houses, as well as how burials and resuseable tombs work in the cemetery.

Josh was an amazing tour guide. He was well informed and brought the history of the Garden District to life. I highly recommend this tour. This company keeps tour sizes small relative to other tours offered in this area which we greatly appreciated. The small size of the group allowed time for questions and a more customized tour.
