Overview

Perfect for an idyllic stroll down tree-lined boulevards, New Orleans' Garden District is filled with the most beautiful and historic homes, most listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and gardens in the city. See some of the best sights and attractions in the Garden District on this private 2-hour tour.

Though the grandeur of the homes on a street lined with sprawling magnolias and towering oaks feels like a haven, your guide will tell the stories of this amazing city. While on your tour, hear about fascinating families of old and of today’s residents - artists, poets, film stars, and athletes.

Your tour ends with a refreshing drink (house wine, beer, or coffee) at a local spot where your guide will point you in the right direction for the best dining, shopping, and entertainment in the district, giving you the local knowledge you need to enjoy the rest of your time in the area.
