Great overview - Great little overview of the homes around the Lafayette cemetery. Was a little confused why the tour only lasted an hour and 15 min instead of 2 hours as advertised but maybe that was because we had a much smaller group. No complaints and would do another tour with them

Talkative - I think the tour guide started out well but he went way over the time outlined in the description which was frustrating to us because we had planned on another museum visit and couldn't make it because of how long this tour went.
