Yvonne was a great tour guide. I used to be anti-tour but we did three of them on this trip (bayou, plantation and Garden District) and this was my favorite of the three. Yvonne was easy going, honest and interesting.

Thanks for this great review of your Garden District tour with Yvonne! The fact that it is coming from a former anti-tourite makes it even stronger. Yvonne is a great storyteller, loves her city, and is easy to talk to and pleasant. We are so lucky to have her to guide our guests through the French Quarter and the Garden District. Please come and give another of our tours a try! Libby

We took the morning Garden District tour. Our guide, Renee, was very knowledgeable, interesting, and fun. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Thank you for choosing Lucky Bean Tours to show you around the Garden District, and thank you for taking the time to review your tour with Renee! She is a great guide - local, smart, interesting, kind, and funny! The neighborhood offers stunning views to even the person rushing through, but strolling with a knowledgeable guide can give you insight and depth that truly enhances your appreciation of the mansions, antique iron fences, and lovely gardens of the famed Garden District. Please come let us show you around again. Bring questions! Libby
