This trip was so amazing. The leader from Lucky Bean tours was friendly and informative and sweet. We had such a special tour with her and would recommend her again and again.
We have traveled all over the world and know good tour directors!

We had a great walking tour with Libby of some of the Garden District houses and Lafayette #1 Cemetery. We learned many details and interesting facts about the cemetary and the houses. She was very knowledgeable. It was easy to ask questions and hear what she was saying on the small tour. The meeting place, the Gracious Bakery, was also a good place to start the tour with fresh lunch selections and pastries as well as bathrooms.

Thank you so much for your review! I enjoyed showing you around the gracious Garden District. There really is no place quite like it, both in its beauty and in the stories and special details it holds. Please tour with Lucky bean again next time!

This tour was so informative and fun!!!! Libby was our tour guide and she is the owner of Lucky Bean Tours. She was so knowledgeable about all of the homes we needed to know about as well as being a wealth of information as we toured through the Lafayette Cemetery! Libby is a fantastic, personable tour guide, and I will book with her again in the future!!!

Wow! Thank you so much for your review! We really love walking the Garden District with people who are enthusiastic travelers and who really want to understand the various (usually unexpected) aspects of New Orleans life and culture. I am looking forward to touring with you again!
