    Went to NOLA for the first time and wanted to see some of the notable architecture styles and celebrity homes. Loved that the tour started at The Rink, which has the Chicory House inside, the best coffee in town! I otherwise probably wouldn't have discovered it. I also like that the first stop was a cemetary. We had a wonderful tour guide and an intimate group size of 5. The tour was great! I would recommend to dress cool and maybe bring a little fan or a sweatband/towel if you sweat easily as it gets warm and our visit was only in late May. Maybe a water or iced coffee too if you think you might want one.
