This was one of our favorite things to do in New Orleans. The neighborhood is so picturesque and beautiful! We learned a lot about the history behind the houses in this area and about the different owners (many of them famous) of some of these glamorous houses in this area! If you are a Benjamin button fan you will really be in for a treat as well. Our tour guide Yvonne was super informative and knew almost everything about New Orleans and the Garden District in particular. The tour can get a little warm so be sure to bring lots of water and sunscreen. Totally recommend trying this tour if you are a couple or family!

We really enjoyed James as our tour guide! He was very entertaining to listen to and had a great knowledge base of the surrounding region. I loved how he even carried a binder of pictures for even more visuals of New Orleans history,etc. We would definitely recommend booking for a great time!
