Amazing tour of the garden district - Bob was an amazing tour guide! He has so much knowledge of the houses in the garden district. It seems like he can tell you a story about every single one. I would highly recommend this tour! Our favorite house was the American Horror Story house (I believe the Buckner mansion).

Great Garden District homes tour! - Fantastic tour of the garden district! Bob was very informative and knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. Lots of great stories and a historical perspective unmatched in the modern tour industry. Be advised the 1:00 pm tour can get hot and humid with two hours of walking and stopping if you have older folks in your group, but that has nothing to do with Bob. Bob is excellent! Definitely recommend this tour!

Great tour with Bob - We really enjoyed taking this tour through the garden district. Our tour guide, Bob, was very knowledgeable of the area and its history. Bob went into detail about many of the great houses and even told us some jokes along the way. I would recommend checking out this tour if you are visiting New Orleans.
