Just did the Garden District Walking Tour and it was amazing!

I went on the Garden District Walking Tour last weekend and wow, it was so worth it! The guide was super knowledgeable and had some great stories about the mansions and the cemetery. I loved seeing the historical homes and learning all the celebrity connections. Definitely make sure to wear good shoes because you do a fair bit of walking. Plus, the tips at the end on where to eat were spot on! I can't wait to try some of the places the guide recommended.

Thinking about gifting the Garden District Walking Tour!

I’m considering getting this walking tour as a gift for my parents’ anniversary. They love history and New Orleans, but I’m worried about them handling the heat. Has anyone done this in the summer? Is it manageable?
