Renee was an AMAZING guide. She brought so much personality to the tour and we learned so much about the garden district.

Excellent and informative tour of the Garden District by a 10th generation New Orleanian. Lots of historical information. Ask about "slow cookers."

James guided us around the Garden District on a Sunday evening. The tour was awesome and we learnt a lot. You can tell he really enjoys what he does because of the way he explains things. He has good appreciation of architecture and great stories to accompany every portion of the tour. We greatly recommend you do this tour with James.
