We booked this walking tour of the Garden District somewhat last-minute, but the booking process was nevertheless a breeze. We took a Lyft from our hotel in the Warehouse District to Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 where we found our guide Harris waiting for us. Harris was incredibly welcoming and we knew we were in great hands from the very start. It is clear that Harris is incredibly passionate about his hometown of New Orleans; he knows the city's history and people inside and out. Thanks to Harris's knowledge and charisma, we left this tour with a better understanding of not only the Garden District, but the city of New Orlean as a whole.

What a great experience. Our guide, Angie, was knowledgeable and personable! Her stories were great and she kept us engaged the whole time! You can tell she loved her job and her city and it made me appreciate it in a whole new light. This is the second Tours by Steven I have been on and I’d do it again!
