What to expect

Open a whole new chapter in New Orleans's history, as you find out why the truth about this lovely and mysterious neighborhood was only whispered behind closed doors. You'll be transported beyond the average tour as your guides share their research about the people who lived in the neighborhood, bringing you the most entertaining stories about Garden District's past.

You'll kick off your tour by getting to know the rest of your small group before heading off to learn the history of Lafayette No. 1 and the unique burials. Then, you'll stroll through the Garden District, seeing the homes of both historical figures and modern day stars.

Prepare to hear the best stories about Garden District from where the headquarters of a general called 'Beast' are to which rockstar feud started here and continues to simmer 15 years on. Then, you'll admire the architecture, discuss the popular styles in the neighborhood and check out many unusual homes too! You'll stop off for a coffee before wrapping up your tour at the largest home in the neighbourhood, a site made famous by the Coven season of American Horror Story.

This is sure to be your favourite tour in the city, and the perfect change of pace from the French Quarter!
