Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the Garden District walking tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but it’s recommended for ages 12 and up. Younger kids might find the walk a bit long and some of the stories might not hold their interest. If you’ve got a younger child, just be prepared to keep them engaged!

Q: What if it rains? Will the tour be canceled?

A: The tour operates rain or shine, but if there's severe weather, they might reschedule. You can usually get a refund or rebook if you can't make it. Definitely keep an eye on the forecast before your date!

Q: What should we wear for the Garden District tour?

A: Wear comfortable walking shoes for sure! The streets can be uneven, and you'll be on your feet for a bit. Dress in layers, too, because it can get warm in the sun but might be cooler in the shade. A hat and sunscreen are good ideas!

Thinking about a Garden District tour for a friend's birthday – any advice?

I'm considering getting my friend the Garden District walking tour for her birthday. We both love history and architecture, and I heard they even talk about the famous F. Scott Fitzgerald house! Is this a good gift? How long does the tour typically last? I'm thinking of a small group setting too.

Just did the Garden District tour, and wow!

I went on the Garden District walking tour last week, and it was amazing! The guide was super knowledgeable and shared some fascinating stories about the mansions and the people who lived there. The Lafayette Cemetery was definitely a highlight. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see a different side of NOLA!
