Private Walking Tour Of New Orleans’ Garden District

2 Hours
All year round

Perfect for an idyllic stroll down tree-lined boulevards, the Garden District subtly demands more of your day than you had planned. On your private, three-hour tour of the Garden District, you will:

Enjoy a laid-back pace as you learn about the city formerly known as Lafayette
See the array of architectural styles present throughout the neighbourhood.
Learn about the complex history of the 19th century mansion-filled neighbourhoods and the cotton economy
See the homes of the stars who have settled in the district, including Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, and Archie Manning.
Finish your tour on Magazine Street, where you can enjoy vintage shopping and browse art galleries.

Today’s New Orleans Garden District was once Lafayette, before becoming incorporated into New Orleans. The area is packed with 19th century mansions, built for cotton kings and the fortunes from industries that grew up around cotton. From Greek Revival and Italianate styles to Queen Anne and Second Empire, each mansion captures the grand vision of its original owner. Your guide will tell the stories of the slaves who toiled for decades without compensation to build the vast fortunes which enabled areas like the Garden District to exist.

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.

We appreciate that you all lead busy lives so we are happy to chat through your holiday plans either by telephone or email or, we would happily arrange a face-to-face meeting in our private office suite here in Leeds or in your home or office at a time/date convenient to you. We could also set up a video-meeting if that's your preference. A tailored holiday itinerary to suit your requirements can be complex so face-to-face discussions are often advantageous.
