The tour was great, and Libby, our tour guide, was AMAZING! Not only did she know a lot about the history of the area, she was funny, engaging and just a really sweet person. Even our 14-year-old, who was less than thrilled to “have” to go on the tour, enjoyed the tour, Libby, and especially seeing the house where Peyton and Eli Manning grew up!

Thanks! Getting a "thumbs up" from a teenager is like getting a ten-star review! Especially in the Garden District, where you are a lot less likely to see a juggler, musician, or random half-dressed person. I do love New Orleans and consider myself so lucky to have a job which requires me to keep learning more and sharing what I learn with visitors. Plus, the Garden District is so beautiful! Lucky me! Come back and maybe your daughter can join us next time. Libby

Not enough history. For me, I could care less who lives in these houses now. More information about NOLA would have been mice

Thank you for leaving a review of your Garden District tour. I am sorry that the tour wasn't what you wanted, and I want you to know that we are considering your feedback. We wish your guide would have provided more history of the area for you. New Orleans has a fascinating history, and I hope you were able to learn more of it while you were here. If you would like to talk in more detail about what went wrong, I am here to listen. Libby

We had an amazing tour with Josh. Josh was so fun and entertaining yet super knowledgeable and both myself and my two teen daughters absolutely loved it. Would definitely recommend!!
