What to expect

The tour begins in the heart of the New Orleans Garden District - considered by many to be one of the best-preserved collections of historic mansions in the United States. Then arrive at the home of one of New Orleans’ oldest cemeteries - Lafayette Cemetery. Explore the grounds with your local guide, hear why these types of burials are iconic to New Orleans, and learn about some of the families buried in this particular square. Continue on for a view of one of the most striking buildings in all of New Orleans: Commander’s Palace. Host to a myriad of wedding receptions and dinners throughout the year, this eye-catching, turreted Victorian building is one of the most well-respected upscale restaurants in the entire country.

New Orleans is always a popular filming location for the movie industry and the homes in the Garden District have had starring roles in several films. Finally, take one a stroll past several more picturesque antebellum homes, making our way back close to the streetcar line. When the tour ends, you’re sure to have a newfound appreciation for the complex history and dynamic neighborhood behind the postcard-perfect properties of the Garden District.
