Garden District Tour - Emily was absolutely fantastic! As both a historian and architect who genuinely loves New Orleans, she brought the Garden District to life with incredible historical knowledge, accuracy, and storytelling. Her delivery was engaging, entertaining, and clearly came from a true passion for the city. The tour was fascinating, and the price and value were exceptional. You get so much more than just a tour.
