Great experiences in NOLA - Wonderful experience x two! We did both the French Quarter and Garden District walking tours with Karen. She was so very knowledgeable and narrated our tours beautifully. Our 2 sons learned quite a lot and were kept engaged and interested throughout. Highly recommend!

A great way to see the garden district - This tour was the perfect way to see the garden district and learn some history along the way. Danelle was a great guide. She gave some fun insights and also let us discuss some controversial topics. I really appreciated her energy and style. Truly a wonderful time!

A highly recommended tour for both the beautiful homes, historical and architectural knowledge, and overall experience! - This was our 2nd time taking the Garden District tour with the 2ChicksWalkingTours, and it was a wonderful experience again!! We really enjoyed the walk, the particular houses that our guide chose to focus on, her architectural and historical knowledge, and her welcoming attitude. Really great and would honestly probably take this tour a 3rd time, if visiting with friends in the future.

Informative and personable tour! - We had an amazing Garden District tour with Christine! She was informative, intelligent, and personable. She was well prepared and it did not feel scripted. The bookings of small group make for a more intimate and responsive experience. We appreciated the follow-up email which contained further reading on the topics she covered and more.

Informative tour, worth the time! - Very informative, local history, and architecture. Sidewalks in this area remind me of Mexico, can go from good to terrible in 10 feet, so need wear good shoes and stay on your toes 😁. Great communication from tour guide (at least a couple of texts just to us). We met at PJ’s coffee shop and if I had known how interesting this street was, we would have come earlier to window shop and have a great lunch (looks like some nice restaurants within a block or two of PJs). Bonnie (our guide), did a nice job! Also, I would have arranged for some more time after the tour to walk around by ourselves to just enjoy the area.
