Fun tour! - Our guide David was great! Very knowledgeable. We were a small group of 4, so it felt like he really focused on all of us, answering all our questions. He also gave us some good advice on how to get out of the Garden District, as things were closing down for the parade.

Would do this tour again - David was incredibly knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller, making the tour both engaging and informative. I would have loved to see more of the Garden District, but overall, it was a great experience. I’d definitely take the tour again!

Beautiful homes to walk by... - Chatty guide discussed architecture and famous people who used to live there...no Mansion was open for tour inside. I could do this for free myself using a cellphone app! Have lunch at the Channel Bar - order at the counter.

Graveyard not open - Make sure that the graveyard is actually OPEN. Wanted to walk thru the graveyard and see everything. No where on the description did it say that the graveyard had the possibility of being closed. Our guide was knowledgeable but boring.

Cemetery closed - Paid for a cemetery tour through trip advisor and it didn't say anything about the cemetery being closed, you don't actually get to go into the cemetery.

Not my favorite - We did several tours on our first visit to NOLA and this was our least favorite. What I thought was going to be a decent amount of walking only ended up being a short couple of blocks and a lot of standing around. Our tour guide wasn’t very lively and frankly it made the tour quite boring. Save your money and walk around the Garden District on your own. Most of the major houses are marked with historic landmark plaques and you can see some pretty houses and architecture just by walking/looking at your own pace.
