Sean was a great tour guide, he knew a ton of history about the cemetery and the houses in the Garden District. Highly Recommend!!

Thanks! Sean is a true historian with a native New Orleanian appreciation of a good story. Plus, he's charming, funny, and courteous. I am so glad you were able to tour with him and explore the beautiful Garden District. Please come again and learn about another of our great neighborhoods!

Outstanding tour. Tour guide Libby was knowledgeable, articulate, dynamic and entertaining. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to family and friends. Libby limits tours to 12 people and that is the way to go. Lots of personal attention and time to answer questions.

Thank you so much for such a great review! I love our small groups. It ALWAYS makes a better tour. By the end of a Lucky Bean walking tour, even the shyest of guests feels comfortable asking questions and making observations, and that's what makes a great, fun tour. It's like spending a few hours with friends, without the bar tab. See y'all next time!

Suzanne Stone was our guide for this tour of Lafayette Cemetery and the surrounding Garden District. She was incredibly knowledgeable about each site and made it a much more worthwhile experience taking in all these new things.

Suzanne really shines on the Garden District tour! It incorporates so many of her own areas of expertise - history, commerce, women's contributions, coffee, academic history, architecture, and a little spookiness - and makes for a really fun and informative couple of hours. I am go glad you toured with us and so grateful that you took the time to review. Thank you!
