History And Added Bonus I-Pad - This tour was beyond our expectations. Peter did a great job and the houses and history are amazing. Peter handed out beads, water and with his I-Pad provided additional images of the houses we were viewing.

Beautiful tour chock full of information! - The Garden District tour was outstanding! Robin, our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. She gave information on New Orleans and Garden District history, the architectural of the beautiful homes, and talked about the people, including celebrities, who live(d) there. The tour takes two hours and you walk about a mile, with stops along the way. I highly recommend it! And having Robin was a real plus!

Garden District Walking Tour can’t be beat! - What a fantastic and fun tour! Yesterday we met up with Melika for a private tour of the Garden District. It was a beautiful day for a walking tour. Melika is so entertaining and knowledgeable. She told one historical story after another while introducing us to a variety of architectural styles. We had a great time. Thank you Cajun Tours and especially thank you, Melika!

Best tour we had! - Malika gave us the best tour I had in New Orleans. So much knowledge about everything, interesting, entertaining. We learned so much and it gave extra value to our trip in New Orleans. This is not our first time in New Orleans and this is why it was so interesting to learn new things
