Very enthusiastic & knowledge - Our tour guide was Erin, who was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate about the architecture of this area. We learned a lot about the different kinds of house styles, filigree/trim, the history of the garden district, and other various laws as well as educated us about new laws about the future of visiting cemeteries to help respect their dead but still be able to learn about these areas. I think it's important to keep touring cemeteries as they help keep our loved ones alive when we talk about them but its also important to respect the spaces our dead inhabit and I love to hear that the tour guide also feels this way. She answered all of our questions well. 10/10 would recommend Erin.
