Your Itinerary

Lafayette Cemetery No.1

Peek inside the gates of Lafayette Cemetery #1, one of New Orleans' most famous above-ground cemeteries. The cemetery has been closed to the public since 2019 but the gates are nice and wide so your guide can show you this lovely historical and sacred place.

Garden District

Explore the elegant 19th Century mansions, lush subtropical gardens, and intricate ironwork of the famous tree-shaded and peaceful Garden District. This neighborhood has been the filming location of dozens of TV shows and movies (NCIS: New Orleans, American Horror Story, Double Jeopardy, Drake's In My Feelings. The Mayfair Witches, Your Honor, Django Unchained, and many more) and today is home to quite a few celebrities. On this 45 minute whirlwind tour, your guide will lead you to all the best locations in this historic district established after the Louisiana Purchase as New Orleans started to grow into its American identity.

Libby was a very friendly and informative guide, she knew her stuff and her tour was filled with a great selection of properties, facts and history of the garden district. Libby welcomed questions and provided a sense of humour to our tour. Libby also followed up with a helpful summary of the tour and some useful dining & shopping recommendations. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it. Mike and Mags

Libby was wonderful and the tour was so informative in a relaxed, enjoyable way. The 45 mins was perfect as it was our travel day and wanted to fit in the gardens area before we headed out. We will be back and look forward to doing more as this was the perfect start.

The amount of research and knowledge Libby has is amazing. Have taken her 2-hour French Quarter tour and wanted more of the other neighborhoods. She's been in the industry for a long time and knows how to perfectly balance entertainment with history. Can't recommend her tours enough!
