Eva was our tour guide and she was fantastic! She has an expertise in the architecture of the homes & encourages questions. We learned so much from her & highly recommend this tour!
It was great! She was very funny and full of information on whatever topic we brought up. Really enjoyed the experience. She was also very accommodating to my pregnant wife. Keeping her in the shade and mapping out a path that worked.
Fantastic tour. Eva was a delight. Very knowledgeable . Terrific pace. My husband and I were fortunate that we were the only guests on the tour. Highly recommend.

Boring tour. Very slow. Four homes in a hour. Very unimpressed with information. Wanted to see lots of homes and architecture, didn’t need to know who lived in homes now.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the tour wasn’t the experience you were hoping for. Our tours are intentionally designed to be slower-paced and discussion-based, focusing not only on architecture, but also the history and stories connected to the neighborhood and its homes. We do cover significantly more of the neighborhood than may have come across in your experience, though we also spend time exploring certain locations in greater depth, which may feel slower-paced for guests looking for a quicker overview. We appreciate you sharing your perspective, and we’d love the opportunity to provide a different experience in the future. Please feel free to reach out to us directly, and we’d be happy to invite you back for a complimentary tour with another guide.
Ava was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgable and willing to answer all our questions. What a great way to get a taste of the garden district to set you up for more exploration. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed exploring the Garden District with Eva. We love hearing that guests leave with both a deeper understanding of the neighborhood and inspiration to continue exploring on their own. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to Eva. Thank you for the recommendation!
