All four in our party very much enjoyed touring this beautiful, historic property, it's period furnishing, some of which belonged to the original occupants, and learning about the lives of the owners and slaves that lived there together.
The renovation to it's original state is amazing. The curator has done a wonderful job.
Our guide was a lovely lady, whose...

My daughter and I fell in love with the location for her upcoming wedding. Everything was going great until rehearsal the day before. As the rehearsal was taking place we heard very loud music coming from the adjoining courtyard belonging to Broussard's. Amy, the event coordinator at Hermann Grima said not to worry because they have a close relationship with...

This is a really beautiful, fascinating house. The staff is historically and accurately dressed. And, it really makes you feel like you have stepped back in time. We went in October, as best advised, and the mourning Creole theme was awesome. I have heard December is as equally a good time to tour because of the great decorations. If you...

This was one of the best house tours I've ever been on. The tour guide was very informative and took her time. Unlike some home tours we had access to all rooms and areas. It is in the French Quarter so it is convenient.

Worth a visit to observe furnishing and learn about life in the city in the 18th and 19th century. If you are lucky you will catch a demonstration in the outside kitchen.

If you want to get a good idea of what life was like in the French Quarter a couple hundred years ago, then this is the place for you.

not your typical French Quarter residence, but a wonderful historic property expertly presented. Go in different seasons for a different viewpoint each time.

This is more of a shout out to women you led the Mixology class. She taught us the history of New Orleans through two cocktails - Sazerac and a Punch. The Hermann-Grima House just made for a most excellent backdrop. It is also a great historic house to view and learn about.
