Beschrijving
Je verkenning begint buiten PJ's koffiehuis, een lokale schat met beignets. De tour zelf concentreert zich op het historische Garden District, duurt twee uur en beslaat ongeveer 2,4 kilometer. Je deskundige gids geeft een snel overzicht van de geschiedenis van Louisiana voordat je je verdiept in de architectonische pareltjes van de buurt. De historische context waarin de inheemse aanwezigheid, de slaveneconomie, de beschermheren van de herenhuizen en de architecten worden erkend, worden besproken. Lokale begrafenistradities worden weerspiegeld BUITEN de poorten van de historische begraafplaats van Lafayette. Ten slotte zijn een paar popcultuurreferenties en beroemdhedengerelateerde adressen opgenomen met een speciale stop gereserveerd voor de Buckner Mansion, bij fans van American Horror Story (AHS) bekend als de Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies. ****Vanwege de sluiting door de stad New Orleans van de begraafplaats van Lafayette wegens renovatiewerkzaamheden, is er GEEN toegang tot de begraafplaats en wordt er BUITEN de poorten een overzicht gepresenteerd.

Het avontuur begint aan de beroemde Magazine Street, bekend om zijn geweldige winkel- en eetgelegenheden. Uw vriendelijke en deskundige gids begint de tour buiten een geweldige plek voor een pre-tour snack (op eigen kosten). Meer informatie over de geschiedenis van de aankoop in Louisiana en hoe deze het gebied heeft beïnvloed.
Bij aankomst op The Rink, neem een pauze en ontspan met een bevroren limonade of ijskoffie (op eigen kosten). Toiletten zijn hier beschikbaar, en er is ook een populaire boekhandel en een cadeauwinkel die geweldig is om te browsen.
Dit weelderige herenhuis uit de Griekse Revival is erg populair vanwege de vele filmprojecten die op deze locatie hebben plaatsgevonden. Het meest opvallende is dat het derde seizoen van American Horror Story (AHS), bekend als Coven, fans heeft geïnspireerd om hierheen te komen.

The guide had incredible academic and first hand knowledge of the history of the Garden District, the homes and New Orleans in general. It was both informative and so much fun.
Excellent tour with great historical context! Karen was a wonderful guide. The homes were beautiful.
Excellent tour! Karen was great.
Karen was a wonderful tour guide! I have lived here for a few years, and brought some friends from out of town - it was great to learn so much about the city! We did the Garden District tour - definitely would recommend.
Thanks for recommending our New Orleans Garden District walking tour. Karen, in addition to being a stellar tour guide is a professional city planner which really enhances her walks in a special way. We're delighted to offer small groups so locals and visitors alike can receive personalized attention. See you on the streets.
This was an excellent and informative tour. Bonnie was wonderful. Everything was perfect and can’t say enough good things about it.
Bonnie is a treasure and well positioned to lead tours in the New Orleans Garden District as she lives here! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.
My group did this tour with Bonnie and really enjoyed it. We learned about the different architecture in the area along with history of some of the homes. Bonnie was a wealth of information and guided our group through this area with ease. Highly recommend this tour and this tour company if you're interested in learning more about the Garden District.
The New Orleans Garden District endures as a neighborhood with historical significance and a past that is as complex as it is beautiful. It's our hope to provide insight and context to the architecture, people and various time periods.
This was a fantastic experience! We loved our tour guide Emily, who was informative, funny, and very personable. Even though we had unexpected rain on / off during the tour everyone had a great attitude and rolled with it. Definitely would recommend this company to others looking to learn more about the Garden District or who enjoy a smaller tour size for a great price / value. Will be checking out other Two Chicks tours in the future.
Rain is a part of the cultural experience in New Orleans, if you haven't been surprised by a shower - did you even visit? We're so glad that Emily made the experience so memorable. She's invested so much time and effort into the details of the Garden District walking tour that she presents plus she's designed our historic walk of the Carrollton neighborhood. Her dedication to our guests and to the history of this much beloved place is unmistakable. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We've done our best to take into consideration the details of group size and timeliness in our design. The city would allow up to 28 guests and a guide and that just feels like too much to us. We also don't cancel due to low guest count.
Bonnie was great! We all learned a lot and the whole family said the walking tour was the highlight of our couple days in New Orleans. Being from Iowa we got a kick out of the corn fence, even if it was an aesthetic favorite! 🌽. Highly recommend the Garden District tour!
Thank you so much for trusting us with your family's memories and taking the time to write a review. Bonnie is a wonderful guide and cares deeply about delivering the best tour possible to our guests. New Orleans has many walking tour options and we're delighted you selected our small business. The Garden District walking tour we present has been designed to provide lots of information in well constructed stories that our guides research and consistently refine. That corn motif was considered quite elite! I love catching glimpses of different sections of it around town.
Fabulous tour and Bonnie did a wonderful job providing information! I really enjoyed it!
Thank you, your review really helps us stay visible in a noisy online world. We completely agree, Bonnie is an especially gifted tour guide in a city of gifted guides. New Orleans walking tour options certainly are abundant here and we appreciate your support of our small business. We hope if you have a chance again in the future, you'll join us in the French Quarter or historic Carrollton neighborhoods or walk again with us in the Garden District.
Danell (rhymes with flannel) was a fantastic guide had a lot of great stories covered a lot of ground and made for the most enjoyable experience in New Orleans. I would highly recommend this to any and all. I had three friends with me. They were a little reluctant to go because they didn’t know it would be, but once they did it, they thought it was one of the most fun things we did in our weekend in New Orleans.
We love converts - LOL. Thanks for providing Dannal a shout out in your review, she's a fascinating person to spend time with. New Orleans has so many walking tour companies, it really is humbling to have visitors select our small shop of storytellers, we don't take it for granted.
