Great walking tour! - I really enjoyed this walking tour of the Garden District. Dannal was a knowledgeable and engaging guide, and shared a wealth of knowledge about the history and architecture of the area, as well as tidbits on famous figures living there. Two hours was just right, and the pace was comfortable. I would definitely book with this company in the future!

Terrific Tour - This was a terrific tour, and Dannal was a wonderful guide. Would highly recommend for those who want to see the city and not get stuck in the tourist traps of the French Quarter. Take the streetcar to get there.

Garden District Tour - There are tour guides all over New Orleans – and then there’s Emily from Two Chicks. A lifelong, generational New Orleanian, Emily was informative and engaging during our entire Garden District tour. Her knowledge of the architecture and neighborhoods was incredible all while giving her own anecdotes which made the tour feel that much more personal. I would recommend booking a tour with Two Chicks Walking Tours to everyone visiting New Orleans.

Best Garden District Tour! - Our tour guide, Bonnie, did such a good job giving our group historical facts and fun stories about the garden district that the 2 hours flew by. She also spoke about the different architectural styles of houses in the neighborhood and pointed out various well known people that live there. It was very enjoyable and interesting. I also appreciated that at the end of the tour, she readily offered suggestions for places to eat or other things to do in the neighborhood. Would highly recommend ! Mary Ann G

Excellent, Entertaining Tour! - We thoroughly enjoyed our Garden District tour with Two Chicks (Dannal)! She was very knowledgable about New Orleans history in general as well as the specifics of the architecture and ownership of key homes in the district. She has an entertaining style and welcomed questions. She knows how to keep things moving (i.e. not get lost in the stories) without ever seeming rushed. I highly recommend Two Chicks!

Garden District Tour - I took my husband and three kids on this two hour walking tour of the Garden District today. The tour was lovely. The tickets transferred over electronically promptly. The tour operator texted me early in the day to confirm the meeting place and time. We met with the group at a local coffee shop. There were about 11 or 12 people on the tour. We were about to see many beautiful homes of the Garden District on the tour. The guide, Bonnie, was really knowledgeable and she was a good teacher. I noticed that she asked questions from the different people on the tour, including the kids. She added in little tidbits about the local culture currently. We had time about halfway through for a break, which was good for the kids.

Casual walking tour that was very informative and friendly - I really enjoyed the garden district walking tour with Leslie. She was very informative and friendly and the pace was perfect. Even though it rained a little bit and I was prepared she had a very good attitude about it and just kept on going. Her knowledge and friendliness were excellent.

👍🏻👍🏻 - The tour was well-organized and thought out. I wanted to learn about history and architecture, and the tour delivered. My sister and I appreciate supporting a woman-owned business. Dannal was very knowledgeable and has the patience of a saint.
