Garden District Home and History Walking Tour
Overview
Join the only company to take you inside one of the stunning Mansions located in the heart of the Garden District.
Begin your tour and meet your guide at the Women's Opera Guild Home located at 2504 Prytania Street followed by a leisurely stroll through the world famous Garden District neighborhood of New Orleans.
See the stomping grounds of authors, poets, movie stars, artists, and sports legends such as Anne Rice, John Goodman, and Archie Manning. Enjoy the towering Southern Live Oak trees, magnificent Crepe Myrtles, and the stunning Magnolias that some have said make walking through the neighborhood akin to walking through a fairy tale. Learn the deep and rich history of the area and how it fits into the overall story of New Orleans including the jealousy and mistrust that led to the 'new money' of the 'garish' Americans trying to show up the splendor and glory of the 'old money' Europeans on the other side of town.
