Step away from the bustling, boozy French Quarter to join us on a stroll through one of New Orleans’ most beautiful and tranquil neighborhoods - the Garden District. On this tour, your local guide will introduce you to the picturesque and colorful Antebellum homes and architecture that reflect stories of New Orleans through the years, from the enslaved to the working class to the very wealthy of early Louisiana history. In addition to houses that are celebrity-owned or appear in well-known films, we’ll also get a chance to peek into a historic cemetery with a unique burial practice and many notable tombs. Join us as we stroll under Spanish moss, past hanging beads, and through the Irish Channel as we discover the Garden District.

  • Garden District, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
    Our tour begins in the heart of the New Orleans Garden District – considered by many to be one of the best-preserved collections of historic mansions in the United States. Originally a family plantation, this area was divided into smaller (but still very large!) lots for private homes with beautiful gardens in the mid-1800’s, giving the district its name. The amazing Antebellum architecture in the Garden District continues to draw the eye, making the area a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Throughout the tour, we’ll stroll past numerous gorgeous homes, some with famous Hollywood connections. New Orleans is always a popular filming location for the movie industry and the homes in the Garden District have had starring roles in several films.
    75 minutes
  • Lafayette Cemetery No.1, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
    We quickly arrive at the home of one of New Orleans’ oldest cemeteries – Lafayette Cemetery. Continually popular with travelers, New Orleans cemeteries have a unique approach to burials: namely, the above-ground, multiple-burial techniques used. Explore the grounds with your local guide, hear why these types of burials are iconic to New Orleans, and learn about some of the families buried in this particular square.
    30 minutes
  • 1403 Washington Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA
    We then continue on for a view of one of the most striking buildings in all of New Orleans: Commander’s Palace. Host to myriad wedding receptions and dinners throughout the year, this eye-catching, turreted Victorian building is one of the most well-respected upscale restaurants in the entire country. Admire this gorgeous, turreted restaurant and hear of the many events that have taken place there.
  • Magazine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
    To reflect the full story of The Garden District, your guide will highlight the real history and the true backbone of this historic neighborhood. Across Magazine Street, we’ll find the working-class area known as the Irish Channel. Predominantly settled by Irish immigrants, this neighborhood developed in the early 1800’s when the city’s shipping, alcohol, and brewing industries drew workers from all over the world, especially from Ireland. In contrast to the palatial homes we saw earlier, your guide will take you past some of the iconic shotgun-style homes of New Orleans.

Walter Thomas was truly one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived, he made the experience feel incredibly personal — greeting each of us by name and making sure everyone felt welcomed and engaged. His knowledge of the Garden District was impressive, but it was his storytelling and passion for New Orleans history that really brought everything to life. What set Walter apart was the extra effort he put into making our visit special. He tailored the tour to our interests, answered all of our questions with insight and enthusiasm, and even followed up afterward with fantastic local restaurant recommendations (which turned out to be spot on!). It felt like we were being shown around by a friend who genuinely loves his city. If you’re visiting New Orleans, do not miss this tour — and definitely ask for Walter. He made our trip unforgettable!

Walter Thomas was an excellent guide. He’s friendly, personable and knowledgeable about the architect and history of the neighborhood. He even gave us many Jazz Fest tips. Walter’s tour was our favorite while in NoLa.
