Wonderful, Conversational Walking Tour of the Garden District - I absolutely loved this walking tour! Here for work and decided to explore part of New Orleans I'm not familiar with. So lucky to be led by Christine, a long-time resident, whose obvious love and appreciation for this city was matched only by her depth of knowledge. Ours was a small group and Christine paced the tour perfectly with plenty of time for questions. Christine's attention to detail and historical context kept me fascinated. I so appreciated how the vibe of the tour was not scripted or gimmicky, but thoughtful and responsive. When you stop at The Rink, hope they have their frozen lemonade, which is wonderful!

Great experience for visiting family/guests! - I am a local New Orleanian, and I wanted to provide a fun experience for my father, who was in the city visiting earlier this summer. He went on the Garden District tour with Two Chicks owner, Christine, and thoroughly enjoyed himself! He appreciated all the architecture and history he was able to learn about, and was impressed by all the knowledge Christine shared during the tour. He and I would absolutely recommend Two Chicks to anyone - local or visiting!

Enjoy a walk around the Garden District - Enjoyable walking tour of the Garden District. Bonnie was a terrific guide - very knowledgeable about the history and the architecture of the neighborhood. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Afterward, Bonnie walked is down to the Green Line trolley, where we treated ourselves (at a whopping $1.25 per person) to a ride back to the Warehouse District.

History Lover's Delight - I love history and this was the perfect tour for me. Christine has a wonderful bubbly personality and vast knowledge about the history and architecture of the city. I went on the Garden District first and another time strolled through the French Quarter - both were excellent!

Best tour around - Bonnie was our tour guide, she was a complete joy. She was conscious of speaking to the group, adapting the pace to the group, being mindful of breaks. She was prepared for all weather conditions. We learned about hot gossip, architecture, and history. She followed up with book recommendations and all the questions we had. Could not recommend more highly. And we needed at an Irish pub! 10/10 stars!

Excellent tour! - I’m so happy I booked with this tour company. I love that they keep the group smaller than the other companies. My guide Christine was excellent! She was engaging, and I learned so much at the same time. This is a must-do on your list.

Loved the Garden District Tour! - Found this tour company on a whim and fully enjoyed their Garden District tour. I almost went with a different company and happened to choose this one because they had an option at half past the hour, and so glad I went with them. I was worried 2 hours would be too long (I had a long day of jazz fest following the tour) but could have easily done another 2 hours! The Garden District Tour was my favorite of the 3 different walkiing tours I've done in NOLA. Our tour guide was friendly and kind, was a local (so had a lot of historical and current intel), and provided a rich and honest history of garden district. I will definitely be recommending this tour, and Two Chicks Walking Tours to anyone I know visiting New Orleans.
