Very interesting and fun tour with a great guide! - I really love architecture and history so this was the perfect tour for me and my friend. Our guide Dane was EXCELLENT. He shared very interesting information and stories sprinkled with a bit of humor and fun. The tour lasted 2 hours, but could have listened to Dane's stories all day. We had a great time and I highly recommend this tour!

Great way to learn about one beautiful area. - The tour was interesting and supported our interest in learning about the architectural characteristics of the neighborhood plus lots of historical information. It was a great time. Dane kept it at a great pace and the small group allowed discussion and interaction within the group.

Best NOLA tour guide - The tour guide, Mikko, was so so knowledgeable and gave us a “local” experience. We passed by so different architectural styles, the AHS Coven house, John Goodmans. It was amazing and lovely!

sweatin’ in da garden - if you enjoy an architecture nerd intricately fused with someone reminiscent of your favorite wise-cracking high school teacher, that is the curated vibe of the charming Mikko. he was very thoughtful in finding shaded spots for us to stand on this balmy labor day before yapping about the varied gorgeous houses peppering the streets of the garden district. thank you so much for your insight, and if you need a shoulder for balance, i gotchu.
