Laudable tour with Libby - Libby our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. We booked the 45 minute tour due to our afternoon schedule but it was cancelled at the last minute and so they put us on the two hour tour. Libby was so pleasant, humorous and great as a guide that we stayed for the entire tour. If we return we will ask for Libby.

Highly recommended 👌 - Our tour guide Libby was an absolute library of New Orleans history. We were the only ones on the tour and she tailored it to our interests on the fly. Plus she was charming and dynamic. We did the short version because it was a rainy day and a last minute booking, but I would have gladly taken a longer tour. There were a lot of interesting stories to be had about the area. Totally different vibes from the French Quarter (and Libby told us why!), definitely worth the short Lyft or streetcar ride to check out the neighborhood and all the beautiful live oak trees.

Excellent! - My parents and I were in NOLA for a few days and couldn’t recommend this tour more! Our tour guide, James, was a great teacher, very knowledgeable, and added the perfect touch of humor. He answered all of our questions with great detail and color. The tour may have only been 45 minutes but we learned so much!

Great Walking Tour through Garden District - Libby was amazing. Very knowledgable and friendly. Tour was perfect mix of New Orleans history and also specifics to the Garden District. Most tours that we saw online were 2 hours but the hour tour was a better fit for us.
