Acerca de esta actividad

El tour comienza en el barrio francés, donde subirá a bordo de un cómodo autobús con aire acondicionado y viaje al más tranquilo y gentil Garden District. Este elegante centro histórico, conocido por sus maravillosos ejemplos de arquitectura del renacimiento griego e italiano y los encantadores jardines, antiguo lugar de numerosas plantaciones. Aprenda de la mano de su guía cómo en el siglo XIX se vendió pieza por pieza sobre todo a acaudaladas familias estadounidenses que construyeron lujosas mansiones que aún dominan este barrio.
Ver mansiones que pertenezcan a la autora local Anne Rice, a la actriz Sandra Bullock, al actor John Goodman, el antiguo galardonado Nueva Orleans Saints, y el padre de Peyto y Eli, Archie Manning. Haga una parada para disfrutar de un exclusivo tour de una señorial casa de Garden District construida alrededor al final de la Guerra Civil americana en 1865.
Admire una cerca de hierro fundido inusual parecida a una hilera de tallos de maíz y conozca la leyenda de cómo un coronel del sur la creó a mediados de los años 1800 a consolar a su nostalgia de Iowan. También verá donde el líder del ejército confederado Jefferson murió a la edad 81 y hará una parada para pasear por Lafayette Cemetery, uno de los muchos cementerios sobre la tierra de Nueva Orleans. Escuche cómo el altiplano del nivel del agua y las frecuentes inundaciones en la ciudad propiciaron la creación de estas "las ciudades de los muertos" mientras hace fotos de las elaboradas tumbas llenas y estatuas.
Disfrute de los refrescos en revista Magazine PoBoy antes de volver al barrio francés en autobús al final del tour de Garden District de 2,5 horas.

We learn a lot about the history of the NOLA and Garden district. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Will recommend this tour.

Midge was great. Very knowledgeable. I would have loved to see more homes, but time restraints AND extreme heat!

The Garden District is a section of New Orleans with absolutely beautiful homes, all built long ago, some even before the Civil War. It was fun to see the homes of Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, and the childhood home of Peyton and Eli Manning. The lawns were lush and beautifully landscaped. On this specific tour, we were able to go into one of these magnificent homes. The furnishings and decor were original and ornate. A bus then transported us to Lafayette Cemetery. Our guide was so interesting and knowledgeable. She answered questions you didn’t even know that you had. I’m so happy that I booked this tour as I got to see an area of New Orleans I knew nothing about and came away with a much deeper understanding of New Orleans history and culture.

Our tour guide, Sandi W, was fantastic. Shared her extensive knowledge with us and her enthusiasm for life in NOLA which increased our enjoyment of the tour. We (all four of us) would be happy to take additional tours with Sandi. And, she made certain, as we were talking on a hot day, that everyone drank plenty of water.

Sandy is a knowledgeable guide. Her stories of her own southern upbringing and experiences and her sense of humor made for an entertaining and creditable tour. Our only disappointment was that Lafayette Cemetery was closed the day of our tour (Good Friday), so we did not get as much information as we desired and had to make a trip back to the cemetery on our own.

The tour was definitely worth every penny. Our tour guide, Daniel, was so friendly and informative. The houses were just gorgeous and the opera guild house was just beautiful inside!

Tour was lovely. Saw many stately homes, including the ones belonging to well known celebrities. Tour of the old opera house was special. The cemetery tour was enjoyable, albeit hot! Only problems- the street traffic drowned out the guides commentary at times. The guide also didn't watch her flock too well- an elderly, handicapped woman tripped and fell, with the guide completely oblivious to the situation. Thank goodness she wasn't hurt. That being said, this is probably the best of the Garden District tours.

Our guide for the tour, Marcia, was excellent. She was informative, charming, and had a sense of humor. My daughter and I had a limited amount of time in New Orleans. This tour covered exactly what we wanted to see - mansions and a cemetery. Marcia gave us key details about the exterior of the homes we were viewing from the street. I especially enjoyed the interior tour of the home owned by the Opera Guild. Although a brief stop at Lafayette Cemetery, Marcia was able to give more than enough information regarding the history and reasons behind the cemeteries in New Orleans. We were able to get a feel for another area of New Orleans other than the French Quarter. I just wish we had had the time to visit the shops and restaurants in the Garden District. Be certain to wear sturdy shoes as some of the sidewalks on this tour need repair. We were also able to see some other areas of the town such as Irish Lace and the Business District from the bus.

Had a really great tour guide. Got to see close up from the street the homes in the area along with the history. The Womens Opera House was a real treat to tour.
