Garden District Tour - I really appreciate how informative and personable Kelsey was on the tour. It was just my daughter and I so I also am grateful she didn’t cancel so such a small group.

Go ahead and book it! - Our tour guide, Kelsey, was very knowledgeable about local history and pop culture references, including Trent Reznor, John Goodman, and Anne Rice. The Garden District is beautiful and, even though today was really hot, there was tons of shade provides by the gorgeous live oaks. We learned more than a few new things about New Orleans on this tour. I highly recommend for anyone with good taste :)

Love this tour - Kelsey was a great guide! She was very knowledgeable. The only thing we were bummed out about was the title included true crime and we didn't get any of that. We did get a lot of info on Ann Rice that I didn't know before, so I'm happy about that! As well as a few stops I haven't been to before. Thanks for the tour, Kelsey!
