History And Added Bonus I-Pad - This tour was beyond our expectations. Peter did a great job and the houses and history are amazing. Peter handed out beads, water and with his I-Pad provided additional images of the houses we were viewing.

Beautiful tour chock full of information! - The Garden District tour was outstanding! Robin, our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. She gave information on New Orleans and Garden District history, the architectural of the beautiful homes, and talked about the people, including celebrities, who live(d) there. The tour takes two hours and you walk about a mile, with stops along the way. I highly recommend it! And having Robin was a real plus!

Snoozefest - The Garden district has stunning architecture with beautiful wrought iron fences and moss covered trees . The day was pleasant with a gentle breeze . The only unplesantness was the guide . She was a true nightmare of little information . She repeated herself multiple times , referred to a huge laminated rolodex to share facts I could have googled . Square footage , cost , kitchen location , etc . Avoid Betty Jean . Nothing was unique or interesting . No fascinating stories of architectural details or talk of styles of homes . It was not worth it .
