Great tour with Michelle

Published on Jan, 2025

My wife and I did the garden tour with Michelle. In addition to some history of the area, we sampled eggplant Napoleon, jumbalaya, sausage with red beans/rice, New Orleans-flavored empanadas, and, of course, beignets, spread over 3 restaurants with some local beer and cafe-au-lait. Michelle was an entertaining guide and gives good restaurant recommendations too. Tour is strongly recommended as a way to get away from the hectic French quarter for a day. Bring a healthy appetite and plan on doing a little shopping in the area afterward!

Great guide, great food, fantastic tour!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Michelle despite the chilly temps! She was knowledgeable, eager to answer our questions and had a ton of pride in her hometown and neighborhood. We were anxious to get out of the French Quarter and loved getting to know the Garden District. Food was outstanding and she shared recommendations for dinner options that were delicious too. Thanks Michelle!

This is a great walking...

This is a great walking tour of the Garden District that starts at Lafayette Cemetery and ends on Magazine Street. The guide was knowledgeable and gave fun facts about the cemetery and architecture. Food stops were excellent. Lasted almost three hours. Would recommend.

Best way to experience new orleans other then the french quarter

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a wonderful taste of new orleans with great history! The garden district was beautiful and Michelle did a great job explaining the history and architecture to us, the best part is we finished off with some local food tasting!

Amazing experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

I had a group of 10 friends on this tour with me, and everyone was enthralled with the history, food, neighborhood and detail Michelle shared with us. To keep the attention of our group was impressive in itself, but that everyone raved about the experience during and after is incredible. I have always loved New Orleans and it's history, but now have a newfound understanding of not only what makes it so special, but deep appreciation for why it is so very unique. The history we learned was fantastic, the places we visited beautiful and the food astounding. 100% would book Michelle again for another tour. Thanks Michelle!
