Bob Is The Best - On a rainy July day, Bob made sure we had the best tour of the beautiful homes of the Garden District. We learned so much of the architectural history of the District. Bob had unique experiences to share as well as extensive knowledge. We ended up with a private tour because no one else signed up...their loss. Bob is the truly the best. We look forward to booking a haunted Garden District tour with Bob. Thank you!
