Thanks for the review and recommendation! James is an excellent guide of the beautiful, lush, historic Garden District. The houses are amazing on their own, but when you have a great guide like James to provide the details behind the houses, they really become more meaningful and the whole experience is quite enjoyable. Thank you for choosing our little company to share our history with you, and please look us up next time you make it to New Orleans. We do French Quarter tours, too! Libby
