Gossip and Grandeur Tour - We went on the Gossip and Grandeur Tour with Chris as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about everything from the architecture of the homes to the history of the people who have lived in them ..and of course the gossip! We loved it and would highly recommend to anyone coming to the area.

Beautiful and informational - We had a great time on the garden tour with Nikki! She had so much information and knowledge of the houses and the beautiful plants in the Garden District. It ended up raining the day of our tour and Nikki was still able to guide us through the district safely. We highly recommend this tour and Nikki as a tour guide.

Cancelled the night before with no explanation - This tour was cancelled the night before by email. Having not picked up the email I took a 20 minute Uber to the meeting point. When I went to download my ticket it gave me the option of changing my date or a refund. It was then I picked up the email that this tour had been cancelled with no explanation. I was very disappointed as I could have booked something else, had I known.
