Walter was very familiar with the area. Knew the history of sone of the beautiful homes He was patient as we asked questions. The heat index was 119 so we all melted but he was great to share his time with us. Also did a follow up email with recommendations for places to eat at and visit

Logan guided our happy tour through the beautiful Garden District with great aplomb. His knowledge and fun delivery of the tour topics made for a very fun time. NOLA streets and sidewalks can be a challenge to navigate, so wear good shoes! Would definitely do another tour with Logan. He definitely has a passion for NOLA.
