I laughed at the review that said they road a streetcar through - that is not seeing the Garden District! You will need to walk (or take a pony ride or something) a mile or so (we did a loop) at least in order to get to see some of the stunning homes. I would NOT recommend just strolling around... more

We just sat on the street car and rode through the area, it was a nice way to get some fresh air without walking! more

We did a two-hour walking tour of the Garden District that also incorporated a city-owned graveyard. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He went beyond the call of duty to provide fabulous customer service and this tour was one of the highlights of my Feb. 09 trip. Our guide was so good that I asked for his name... more

Historic New Orleans Tours for the Garden District/Cemetery tour. David the tour guide was very knowledgable, so much so we didn't have any questions. Went by such beautiful historic homes and walked through the above ground Lafeyette Cemetery. $15 pp for the 2 hr tour. Meets at Garden District Book Shop at the Rink - Washington Ave stop on St.... more

My group got to pass through the Garden District as part of the Super City Tour and were not disappointed. The homes here are really grand and it was a treat to check out some of the old world charm. more

The area is truly breathtaking. The shops and restaurants are all open and the universities are beautiful. The trolleycars aren't running yet, but they are suppose to be... more

The Garden District is finally coming back. Though not damaged by water, there were many trees and limbs down, and some wind damage to some of the houses. We took a wonderful tour with Beau Monde Tours. Our guide was quite enchanting and gracious, and he was a wealth of information about New Orleans and its environs. We highly recommend... more

It is one of the best walks in New Orleans, like something out of a Tennessee Williams' play. I've done it twice and each time I expect a woman to open a door and shout out, "The lemonade's all ready, Big Daddy!" One of the most unique, REAL neighborhoods in the USA. more
