This was a fantastic tour!!! - Dave Roberts was the best tour guide we had in New Orleans. If you can request a guide I would highly recommend. He has lived here all his life and knew so much more than you would expect from a guide

Walk through time on this tour! - Our guide, Ann, was a true New Orleans native and she really knew her subject matter. Understanding how this area was built and her highlights of certain homes was very interesting. She also gave us a lot of details about Lafayette and the other cemeteries in New Orleans, which are beautiful and historically significant in this city. An added bonus were the excellent recommendations for lunch and other places to visit. Recommend this tour highly if you love architecture and walking lovely streets.

Highly recommend - The walking tour of garden district was wonderful. David our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and the different architectural styles in the area. He also told about some of the famous previous and current owners of many of the homes. Wear comfortable shoes cause he did a great job to keep it moving to cover lots of houses and information.

Randy was a highlight of our trip! - We took the Garden District and Lafayette Cemetery Guided Walking tour with Randy and we lucked out by getting him!! We learned so much about the architecture of the district and history of the city. His humor was so appreciated and we had a great time laughing and learning for the two hours. A note from my husband: Don’t write off (W)Randy! He wryly wrangled our wriggling group of wretched, wrinkly wrecks past wrought iRon and wrest from us our wrongful misapprehensions of New Orleans history. Thanks so much Randy and have a happy birthday.

Make sure you ask for Orion! - Orion was the best tour guide!! He was incredibly informative, approachable, and quirky in all the right ways. This man needs to write a book - he is so passionate about New Orleans history and landmarks and his passion was contagious- highly recommend! Also he brings cool fans and other trinkets to help make the walk more comfortable

Pee before you go! - Awesome architecture and lots of famous homes in the Garden District. Shouldn't even advertise the cemetery portion since it's closed. Was a real bummer.
