I just want to start off by saying that Jackie is one of the best tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. If you get a chance to take a tour of the Garden District, I highly recommend this tour and with Jackie specifically. After introductions, she took the time to remember each person in the group's name. She was very welcoming and fun! The tour itself was insightful and educational. There is so much history and culture in a small area that a ton of walking wasn't required. I took the tour in April, but I definitely think the pace and shorter distance in the summer months will be even more appreciated! We started out at Gracious Bakery and ended at Commander's Place. Jackie had a ton of engaging stories to share. The tour never felt rushed, but everyone in my group felt that we got our money's worth!

Thank you for such a thorough and lovely review! Jackie is indeed a great guide, a native with an innate understanding of Louisiana culture and a great storyteller. Plus, the Garden District is such a perfect setting to showcase her talents. Rushing just isn't possible in that gracious and lush neighborhood, and who would want to with all that natural beauty and great stories? Thank you for touring with us. I am so grateful that you recognized Jackie's talent and I hope that the rest of your time in New Orleans was just as enjoyable.
