Description

Meet your guide at the corner of Washington and Prytania Streets for a fast-paced cruise through the lovely, historic Garden District of New Orleans. Opulent mansions and lush gardens along the quiet live oak-lined streets are the hallmarks of this 19th Century neighborhood. Expect to see New Orleans' finest historic homes, lovely gardens, a few celebrity homes and filming locations, Commander's Palace restaurant, and Lafayette Cemetery #1 (NOTE: the cemetery is closed to the public, but you will be able to see it through the wide gates). Get all the beautiful pictures, learn a little history, and get the best recommendations for shopping, eating, and music from your guide. This tour is ideal for travelers with limited time, or travelers who have already taken a longer tour of another neighborhood and wish to just get the highlights of the Garden District in a short period of time. This tour is not ideal for guests with limited mobility, as it is fast-paced.
