This fast-paced tour is ideal if you are short on time and want to see as much of the city as possible, or if you have taken several longer tours and just wish to see the highlights of the Garden District. It's a fast-paced fun excursion through this unique and historic neighborhood. It is a very visual tour, with less focus on storytelling or history, but your guide will give you a brief rundown of the history and point out architectural elements. We cover all the most impressive homes in the Garden District and include a stop at Lafayette Cemetery #1. The cemetery is closed, but the gates are wide enough to see in and get some great pictures!
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. Service animals allowed. Public transportation options are available nearby. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. Not recommended for guests with mobility issues - this is a fast tour!
We meet at the Garden District Historical Marker at the corner of Prytania Street and Washington Avenue. The marker stands right next to Fidelity Bank at 2729 Prytania Street.
