Bayou (Swamp) Tour + Oak Alley Plantation Tour from New Orleans
New Orleans
LOUISIANA
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:
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.
