Yvonne was a wonderful tour guide; fun and super knowledgeable! Got lots of history regarding the area. Highly recommend this tour. It was nice being in a small group, too. The pick up stop at the bakery was the perfect place to grab a snack beforehand.

5Walking tour Garden District
The walking tour of the Graden District was excellent. James was our tour guide and met us on time at the meeting point. This was a small group which also was exceptional. The weather was good as we moved the tour from Saturday to Monday due to rain. We walked and toured the area. James provided excellent information about the city, the architecture, the types of trees, and took us to several well known houses of Nick Cage, John Goodman, Archie Manning, and Sandra Bullock. He answered all of our groups’ questions. The tour lasted about 2 hours and we walked about a mile. It was the best end to our trip with a recommendation for lunch. Highly recommend.
5Nice Garden District Tour
It was a beautiful day for this Garden District tour! Our host was very personable and knowledgeable, and I really enjoyed having a smaller group. We took a relaxing stroll through the neighborhood while learning about the history and beautiful mansions, with plenty of opportunities to stop and take photos. The Garden District has such a different feel from other parts of New Orleans, so it was really nice to experience another side of the city. Overall, the tour was informative, fun, and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour and this host!

About New Orleans
New Orleans is the Louisiana city of jazz, Creole food and the French Quarter, set on a bend of the Mississippi River near the Gulf of Mexico.
New Orleans was founded by the French in 1718 and later ruled by Spain, and the French Quarter still shows it, with wrought-iron balconies, courtyards and Jackson Square, which St Louis Cathedral overlooks. Jazz was born here, and live music pours from clubs on Frenchmen Street. The St Charles streetcar rattles beneath oaks to the mansions of the Garden District.
Top-ranked sights in New Orleans: French Quarter, Jackson Square, LaLaurie Mansion.
