Our tour guide Erin was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and clever in her story telling. We saw some great architecture and even some cute neighborhood cats. Would recommend!

You're invited to take a leisurely stroll through the stunning Garden District of New Orleans. Featuring exclusive inside access to the Women's Opera Guild House a stunning Mansion located at 2504 Prytania Street in the heart of the Neighborhood! See the stomping grounds of authors, poets, movie stars, artists, and sports legends such as Anne Rice, John Goodman, and Archie Manning. Enjoy the towering Southern Live Oak trees, magnificent Crepe Myrtles, and the stunning Magnolias that some have said make walking through the neighborhood akin to walking through a fairy tale. Learn the deep and rich history of the area and how it fits into the overall story of New Orleans including the jealousy and mistrust that led to the 'new money' of the 'garish' Americans trying to show up the splendor and glory of the 'old money' Europeans on the other side of town.

Erin was a perfect tour guide. Her presentation was interesting because she is clearly passionate about her subject matter, even though she has probably said it many times. Her knowledge of the history of the area is impressive and her sense of humor made time fly. I wish we could have kept on going!!!

We went with Erin and had a great time. She was very knowledgeable, and used humor as well to tell the stories. I learned about the architecture and the characters that the garden district has produced. Definitely recommend.
