Thinking of gifting the Garden District tour—any thoughts?

I’m considering this tour for my parents' anniversary. They love history and architecture, and the Garden District looks so beautiful! I saw it includes a visit to Commander's Palace, which is a bonus. Anyone done it? Would it be fun for them, or should I look for something else?

Just booked the Garden District tour—can’t wait!

I finally pulled the trigger on this tour for my birthday trip to New Orleans next month! I’m so excited to see the famous homes and the cemetery. Do they provide water, or should I bring my own? Any other tips for my first time?
