Intellectually deep dive into the garden district - Erin was so knowledgeable and if you wanted to know architecture details of beautiful homes and some cool story on some of the residents ask for her by name.

Loved the GD! - The architecture features of the many homes that she explained and stories of the occupants of the homes through the years. It exceeded my expectations! Absolutely beautiful homes and history. It was wonderful to see so many homes mostly original. It was historic, full of lush gardens as you’d expect. It was about 2 hours which was just enough to get a sense of the district. Erin our guide was knowledgeable, made it interesting and fun. She had a bit of Jungle Book tour humor to engage people of all ages and backgrounds.
