Tour dei segreti e degli scandali del Garden District
Descrizione
Piccoli gruppi ✦ Storia ✦ Architettura ✦ Scandalo Ammira la splendida architettura e i lussureggianti giardini del Garden District, mentre sbirciamo dietro il sipario i segreti e gli scandali che lo rendono leggendario. Portiamo un'esperienza di tour privato in ogni tour, limitandolo a piccoli gruppi e personalizzando il tour per te. Ascolta storie di giocatori d'azzardo, politici corrotti, truffatori e una rockstar che ha causato una scena. Vedere luoghi di riprese, e case di celebrità, sulla strada. Anche se il cimitero è stato chiuso a tempo indeterminato a tutti i tour della città, vedremo le tombe dal cancello e discuteremo della storia del luogo e dei metodi di sepoltura. Discuteremo di stili architettonici popolari nella crescita del quartiere, e anche di alcune case insolite! Finiremo nella casa più grande del quartiere, anche una location principale di American Horror Story, stagione Coven. Il nostro obiettivo è che si ottiene più di una grande esperienza di due ore, ma punti di connessione con la nostra città, e le sue storie, che non dimenticherete mai.

Itinerario
Il cimitero è attualmente chiuso dalla città, quindi parleremo della sua storia e vedremo le tombe dalla porta. Per prima cosa, fai una passeggiata attraverso lo storico cimitero di Lafayette di New Orleans e scopri la fondazione della nostra città, le nostre pratiche di sepoltura uniche, i famosi locali sepolti qui e la nostra forte influenza francese e cattolica. Scoprirai anche le location cinematografiche di blockbuster hollywoodiani come Intervista con il vampiro e Double Jeopardy, entrambi con scene iconiche girate qui!
Dopo una pausa rinfrescante, il nostro gruppo si avventurerà nello splendido Garden District, dove si potrebbe anche intravedere una celebrità! Le bellissime case anteguerra ti toglieranno il fiato e le storie che li accompagnano sono sempre divertenti e talvolta anche scioccanti. Questo tour è un meraviglioso cambiamento di ritmo dalle folle del Quartiere francese e ti regalerà un'esperienza storica divertente e interattiva che non dimenticherai mai.
Vedremo la Women's Guild della New Orleans Opera, utilizzata come ufficio di produzione per il film di Jaime Foxx Django Unchained, diretto da Quinten Tarantino.
Termina vicino a Magazine Street, la migliore strada dei quartieri alti di New Orleans per lo shopping, il cibo, le gallerie d'arte e molto altro!

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.
