Garden city tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Sometimes you have to watch your step. And you’re not able to go into the cemetery. Otherwise very good guide

Excellent historic tour of the garden district

Published on Nov, 2024

Our tour guide Angela was quite knowledgeable about the area and gave us a deep understanding of the history and the reason for so many cultures in one spot. The architecture portion was particularly interesting and references to well-known celebrities. I would highly recommend this tour in this particular guide.
