I’ve been in yours all around the world, and this is hands down one of the best. Lee was AMAZING! He knew so much history, but what was even better was is personality. He is wonderful, and honestly I can’t enough good things about him.

We toured the Garden District with Harris. What a great tour! Harris lead us through the Garden District telling us of the history, the meaning, reasons and cultural significance of the architecture with passion and obvious love for NOLA in a way that deeply resonated with us. He welcomed and took great delight in our many questions answering them with a touch of humor and reverence for the history. My husband and I highly recommend this tour!

Harris was a very informative and knowledgeable tour guide. We had a great experience learning about the history behind the garden district and the history behind each of the unique historic houses in the area. Highly recommend the tour.
