Garden District Geheimnisse und Skandale Tour
Beschreibung
Kleine Gruppen ✦ Geschichte ✦ Architektur ✦ Skandal Sehen Sie die wunderschöne Architektur und die üppigen Gärten des Garden District, während wir hinter dem Vorhang die Geheimnisse und Skandale betrachten, die es legendär machen. Wir bringen zu jeder Tour ein privates Tourerlebnis, indem wir sie auf kleine Gruppen beschränken und die Tour für Sie personalisieren. Hören Sie Geschichten von Spielern, korrupten Politikern, Betrügern und einem Rockstar, der für eine Szene sorgte. Sehen Sie sich unterwegs Drehorte und Promi-Häuser an. Obwohl der Friedhof auf unbestimmte Zeit für alle Führungen durch die Stadt geschlossen wurde, werden wir Gräber vom Tor aus sehen und die Geschichte und Bestattungsmethoden des Ortes diskutieren. Wir werden Architekturstile diskutieren, die im Wachstum der Nachbarschaft beliebt sind, und auch einige ungewöhnliche Häuser! Wir enden am größten Haus in der Nachbarschaft - auch ein Hauptschauplatz aus American Horror Story, Hexenzirkel Saison. Unser Fokus liegt darauf, dass Sie mehr als eine großartige zweistündige Erfahrung bekommen, aber Verbindungspunkte zu unserer Stadt und ihren Geschichten, die Sie nie vergessen werden.

Reiseverlauf
Der Friedhof ist derzeit von der Stadt geschlossen, also werden wir über seine Geschichte sprechen und die Gräber vom Tor aus sehen. Machen Sie zuerst einen Spaziergang über den historischen Lafayette Cemetery von New Orleans und erfahren Sie mehr über die Gründung unserer Stadt, unsere einzigartigen Bestattungspraktiken, berühmte Einheimische, die hier begraben sind, und unseren starken französischen und katholischen Einfluss. Sie werden sogar die Drehorte von Hollywood-Blockbustern wie Interview mit dem Vampir und Double Jeopardy entdecken, die beide ikonische Szenen hier gedreht hatten!
Nach Ihrer erfrischenden Pause geht unsere Gruppe in den wunderschönen Garden District, wo Sie vielleicht sogar einen Blick auf eine Berühmtheit werfen! Die schönen Antebellum-Häuser werden Ihnen den Atem rauben, und die Geschichten, die sie begleiten, sind immer unterhaltsam und manchmal sogar schockierend. Diese Tour ist eine wunderbare Abwechslung von den Menschen im French Quarter und bietet Ihnen eine unterhaltsame und interaktive historische Erfahrung, die Sie nie vergessen werden.
Wir werden die Women's Guild der New Orleans Opera sehen, die als Produktionsbüro für den Jaime Foxx-Film Django Unchained unter der Regie von Quinten Tarantino genutzt wird.
Ende in der Nähe der Magazine Street, der besten Uptown-Straße von New Orleans zum Einkaufen, Essen, Kunstgalerien und mehr!

Tracy was AMAZING! So fun, knowledgeable, witty and engaging. Two hours felt like 30 mins. The Garden district tour is a must for either the seasoned New Orleaneans or the out of towner tourist. I found the graveyard information fascinating, the old homes intruging and the history was scandalous!
This is a fabulous tour, and Tracy is so knowledgeable and so funny. Even when we went off on little bunny trails in our conversation of the history of the Garden District, she pulled us back into reality. There is so much to know, and she knew it all! Five stars, hands down.
Walked with Tracy on a Monday night, ended up being a private tour. Had a wonderful time, she knows her stuff and is quick witted about it! Both a good history tour as well as haunts! Would do it again with my sister who is obsessed with ghost stories
I enjoyed this tour very much! Guide Tracy presented tons of historical information on the beautiful homes and famous and infamous occupants in a funny and interesting way. She really knows her stuff. Also learned a lot about the cemetery and history of New Orleans. (Tours inside the cemetery are no longer allowed due to stupid people who apparently disrespected or vandalized it), but we were right outside and able to see some of it. Took a short break at a cute coffee shop owned by Commander’s Palace which was convenient for a bathroom break or to purchase a refreshment or other items. Wear good walking shoes and watch your step on the sidewalks. Altogether an enjoyable tour with a great guide. Thanks Tracy!
Tracy was knowledgeable and entertaining. Giving the tour a 3 only because the walking was difficult due to the sidewalk being broken and tree roots needed to be avoided. Two members of our group had to leave early due to this, one guest fell and skinned her arm.
Very sorry to hear about your friend. But the condition of the footpaths is really outside our control, as a tour business. All we can do is caution folks about the footpaths. We are not responsible for maintaining them. I believe your is about your experience of the neighborhood, and not the job we did, vis a vis other tour companies.
Tracy was an excellent tour guide. She had a lot of knowledge about the history of the garden district and some gossip about it too! She was friendly and approachable and made the tour fun! An excellent way to spend the afternoon in New Orleans! Thanks Tracy!
Josh was an amazing guide, he was super knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the history of the garden district we highly recommend taking a toor with them!
Thank you so much! You're awesome!
We had an incredible time on the *Garden District Secrets and Scandals Tour*! Our guide, **Dane**, was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, funny, and full of great stories that brought the neighborhood’s history (and gossip!) to life. From the stunning architecture and celebrity homes to the juicy tales of old New Orleans society, every stop was entertaining and insightful. Dane had the perfect balance of history, humor, and charm — you can tell he really loves what he does. We walked away with a deeper appreciation for the city’s character and some great insider tips for where to eat and explore next. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans — it’s a perfect mix of beauty, mystery, and fun!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind review!
It’s an easy paced tour of some of the top homes of interest. Our guide was local and a pleasure! We liked it!
Thanks so much for joining us, Isabella!
This was advertised as a secrets and scandals tour and was more of a historical/architectural tour. I know this city has some scandals we didn’t hear about
Sorry if you didn't have a good experience. Y'all were great guests. I enjoyed leading your tour. The type of scandals included: neighborhood starting as a result of a divorce gone wrong, brothel at Commander's Palace, "Freret's Folly", Edgar Degas and the affair that split his family, Gen. Benjamin "the Beast" Butler -- and then the modern day things like Nicolas Cage, Marilyn Manson, Anne Rice, present day home dramas... in a sense almost every story has a scandal that's central to it, that you wouldn't get most of on any other tour. But the scandals are history. It is a history tour, with a lot of architecture included. I don't disagree with this review though. I think I was splitting the baby, with the language barrier of one of the guests, to balance not losing him on too many of the stories.
