Full description
The New Orleans Garden District is a beautiful and ornate neighborhood with gorgeous, historic houses and mansions dating back to the antebellum days of the Old South. This historic neighborhood is comprised of the world’s largest collection of 19th-century southern-style mansions, some of which are still known by the names of families that built them. This whole area was once a number of plantations, eventually sold off in parcels. Originally the Garden District was developed with only a couple of houses per block, each surrounded by a large garden, giving the district its name. Bring your camera! This two hour walking tour is best enjoyed on foot in order to fully enjoy the exquisite examples of quintessential New Orleans architecture: white columns, scroll work of a cast iron fence, or a romantic Romeo and Juliet style gallery. You'll also go by Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, a historic 19th-century cemetery with above-ground tombs & statuary characteristic of the area.

Scott was our guide on this tour. He was communicative beforehand by text message, and gave some good history as we walked through a district including many homes owned by famous people, as well as some architecturally significant buildings. He also provided helpful tips on navigating the city during Mardi Gras. This was a nice introduction, with good value, to our two-day trip to New Orleans.

We, a group of 4 women from 3 time zones in our 20s, 30s, and 50s, enjoyed The Garden Tour with Scott. Scott is a personable and knowledgeable host to this amazing city. He read our group perfectly and was able to keep all of us engaged with information on the history, architecture, people, oddities, culture, and happenings of NOLA and shared a window into what it is like to live here. He is both laid back and professional. The pace was perfect.

Our guide, Scott, texted me prior to our meet up time to confirm details of where to meet. He was interesting and extremely knowledgeable about the Garden District and New Orleans. Lucky for us, it turned out being a private tour. It was a cold and rainy day but this did not deter Scott from giving us a full and leisurely tour of the area. We soaked it all in . I highly recommend this tour.
