It was a beautiful day for a stroll with Libby, a native of New Orleans who knows her stuff, and learn about the history and architecture of the neighborhood. Not a far walk, but we covered a lot of ground in terms of learning what New Orleans is made of. From Lafayette Cemetery to the Manning house, you cannot go wrong with Libby's tour.

Thanks! The Garden District is so full of stories, you really don't have to go very far to hear a good one! I am glad we got to walk the neighborhood together, and share its fascinating tales. Come again, and we'll start from the other end and reveal even more of its secrets!

Dave was awesome. We did a tour of the Garden District and he was phenomenal. His knowledge of the history of the district (and New Orleans in general) surpassed all expectations. You can tell he truly loves his job, and his passion shines during the tour. He was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

David Feldman really knows his stuff! Every guest on every one of his tours has learned something new, because of his diligent research and his passion for explaining the history and culture of this great city. I'm so glad you were able to walk with him through his neighborhood and I really appreciate the great review!
