Great Garden District tour and guide - We enjoyed a very interesting and informative tour of the beautiful garden district today. Our tour guide, Erin, was very knowledgeable and kept the entire interesting and engaging. It is amazing how many details she knows about the area and about the history. We asked some questions that took the conversation away from the tour script and she handled them a knowledge that extends well beyond the tour script. It was a great weather day and a lovely area to tour. We really enjoyed having such a good tour guide as well!

Erin Kidder-5 star tour guide! - Erin Kidder did a great job with the Garden District Tour on March 25, 2025. We really appreciated having a local, homegrown tour guide who was very knowledgeable on the subject. Would suggest going with her!

The Garden District with Erin. - Erin was a wealth of historical and architectural information. Her personal anecdotes made the tour feel more like walking through the Garden District with a friend rather than a guide. HIGHLY recommend taking this tour and asking for her if possible. She has a great vibe. We were a family of 4 with two in their early 20s.

Definitely worth the time, recommended from a.solo traveller. - I had an issue with being contacted on my first attempt at the tour. The support time arranged fora second attempt, although I was still annoyed when the tour started Erin, the tour guide managed with a lot of enthusiasm and extreemly detailed knowledge of her craft win me back over. Probably one of the best tours I have been on, very impressed overall aside from the beginning.
