We had a great experience... - We had a great experience on this tour! It ended up just being my boyfriend and I, so it was essentially a private tour. James was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. He gave great instructions on getting to the meeting point, so he was very easy to find. I would definitely recommend this tour 😊

Loved it! Highly recommend - The tour was wonderful. Libby gave us an abridged version of the tour and gave us full attention and answered any of the questions we had about the architecture of the garden district. She was very knowledgeable about the history and we saw some beautiful houses here. If you’re looking for a shorter tour while not compromising on learning on about the history of the place, this is a tour for you.

Great tour - James our tour guide was brilliant. We did the 45 minutes Garden Tour Highlights which worked perfectly us as we were leaving the city the day of the tour so we were short on time. If we had more time we would have looked at the 2 hours. But this was ideal and still a very informative tour.
