Excursão aos segredos e escândalos do Garden District
Descrição
Pequenos Grupos ✦ História ✦ Arquitetura ✦ Escândalo Veja a arquitetura deslumbrante e os exuberantes jardins do Garden District, enquanto olhamos atrás da cortina para os segredos e escândalos que o tornam lendário. Nós trazemos uma experiência de tour privado para cada tour, limitando-o a pequenos grupos, e personalizando o tour para você. Ouça histórias de jogadores, políticos corruptos, artistas fraudulentos e uma estrela do rock que causou uma cena. Veja locais de filmagem, & casas de celebridades, no caminho. Embora o cemitério tenha sido fechado indefinidamente para todos os passeios pela cidade, veremos túmulos da porta e discutiremos a história do lugar e métodos de enterro. Vamos discutir estilos de arquitetura populares no crescimento do bairro, e algumas casas incomuns também! Terminaremos na maior casa do bairro, também uma localização principal da temporada de American Horror Story, Coven. Nosso foco é que você receba mais do que uma ótima experiência de duas horas, mas a conexão aponta para a nossa cidade, e suas histórias, que você nunca esquecerá.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
O cemitério está actualmente fechado pela cidade, então vamos falar sobre sua história e ver os túmulos do portão. Primeiro, faça um passeio pelo histórico Cemitério de Lafayette de Nova Orleans e aprenda sobre a fundação da nossa cidade, nossas práticas funerárias únicas, locais famosos enterrados aqui, e nossa forte influência francesa e católica. Você até descobrirá as localizações de filmes de blockbusters de Hollywood, como Interview with the Vampire e Double Jeopardy, ambos os quais tiveram cenas icônicas filmadas aqui!
Após a sua pausa refrescante, o nosso grupo vai se aventurar no lindo Garden District, onde você pode até mesmo vislumbrar uma celebridade! As belas casas antebellum vão deixá-lo sem fôlego, e as histórias que as acompanham são sempre divertidas e às vezes até chocantes. Este passeio é uma maravilhosa mudança de ritmo das multidões do French Quarter, e lhe proporcionará uma experiência histórica divertida e interativa que você nunca esquecerá.
Veremos o Grêmio Feminino da Ópera de Nova Orleans, usado como escritório de produção do filme de Jaime Foxx Django Livre, dirigido por Quinten Tarantino.
Termine perto da Magazine Street, a melhor rua da cidade de Nova Orleans para compras, comida, galerias de arte e muito mais!

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.
