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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bonnie guided us through an amazing tour through the Garden District and Irish Channel! If you want to learn about the history of the area, NOLA, architecture, and culture, then I highly recommend this tour. I loved that the knowledge shared was a few levels deeper. It wasn't just an answer to why this or how that, but Bonnie often went a few layers deeper to really stoke our curiosity. My partner and I appreciated the personal touch, humor, and positive vibes that Bonnie provided. We highly recommend this tour.

Bonnie was really kind. I was solo on this trip so it was nice having a group to explore with! The houses were great and Bonnie pointed out some famous peoples houses too!

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.

I LOVED this tour. My guide, Walter, was A DREAM. I ended up having a private afternoon tour with him, and we had the BEST time. He’s so warm and lovely and well-versed in storied Nola architecture. A million out of 10 recommend!! ❤️

The single best thing I did in New Orleans. With no other walking tour, I would've learned as much as I did about the city, its history, architecture, and famous inhabitants. Walter was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. I truly can't recommend this tour highly enough

Walter gave a fantastic tour. I have been a few other garden district tours before and found this one to be the most interesting and informative. It was a lovely time and I would highly recommend Walter and this tour to others!

Chip was a phenomenal tour guide and so knowledgeable! We greatly enjoyed walking with him through the Garden District, learning about the history of some of the beautiful homes, admiring the architecture, learning about the cemeteries, and new Orleans history!

As an American diplomat that was posted and recently evacuated from China, I came to New Orleans not knowing much about the city. I signed up for a full day tour with Urban Adventures through Marriott Bonvoy activities which included a food tour, a cocktail tour, and a jazz tour. I was instantly impressed after the first day and decided to sign up for the Garden District tour with my tour guide Maggie. We started the tour at the Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 where Maggie's insightful knowledge of the history and pop culture of the district impressed upon me. Who knew that a cemetery and blocks of houses can hold so much rich legacy? We walked past by the house of the Confederate President Jefferson Davis. I had my first po-boy sandwich (I had two!) at Parasol's along with a local beer. I truly enjoyed my Garden District tour and would highly recommend anyone who enjoy learning about NOLA and the Garden District to take a tour with Maggie!

We had a great tour with Davis! It was just my fiancé and I so it made it very early to learn a lot from a local and ask questions. We took this tour so we could see an area of New Orleans that we hadn’t been to yet. We learned some cool history about the houses, cemeteries, and had a great po boy and beer. I definitely recommend this tour with Davis!

Davis was an amazing tour guide! He totally recognized our groups interest, was polite, funny and told so many interesting stories. He even told us some insider tips about experiencing some of New Orleans hidden gems. We had beautiful weather and he definitely kept things fun. Would 10/10 recommend.
