    Great fun!!!!
    Judy_G, Mar 2024
    Bonnie, our tour guide was an amazing wealth of interesting information. The thing I liked most about her is that she talked with us like a real person and not a tour guide rambling off memorized facts. Our small group was so fun! We learned so much about the area and had a great time doing it. Thanks Bonnie!! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Worst tour ever taken
    joan_t, Nov 2023
    When you book a small group tour with a reputable company, you expect to have a knowledgeable, experienced and engaging tour guide. Our tour guide has lived outside of New Orleans for less than a year. He was filling in a gap fr the absense of the regularly scheduled experienced tour guide. His intentions were good. His knowledge was weak. The four of us on this Garden District tour had more information than he did. He had to be informed about the difference between wrought iron and cast-iron, and how they were made. He really did not understand architecture and the different styles. I was informing others in the tour about common vegetation like resurrection fern. He did not enhance our understanding of the garden district. He flounded to think of what was coming next. We have traveled extensively internationally and nationally and I would say this is the worst tour we have ever had. Viator should have know better than to pitch hit in this way. Accordingly they should refund the money to the four of us who participated in this tour. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us however, it became a once in a lifetime missed opportunity for us. Sorry to say this, but it is true.

    Our tour guide was Bonnie, very lovely lady who was very informative and kind. She gave us a lot of great historical information and was incredibly thorough. We really enjoyed the housing design influence and little quizzes she gave us. I highly recommend this tour.
