Garden District Secrets and Scandals Tour
Overview
Small Groups ✦ History ✦ Architecture ✦ Scandal
See the gorgeous architecture and lush gardens of the Garden District, as we peer behind the curtain at the secrets and scandals that make it legendary.
We bring a private tour experience to every tour, by limiting it to small groups, and personalizing the tour for you.
Hear stories of gamblers, corrupt politicians, con artists, and a rock star who caused a scene. See filming locations, & celebrity homes, on the way.
Although the cemetery has been closed indefinitely to all tours by the city, we'll see tombs from the gate and discuss the place's history and burial methods.
We'll discuss architecture styles popular in the neighborhood's growth, and some unusual homes as well! We'll end at the largest home in the neighborhood -- also a main location from American Horror Story, Coven season.
Our focus is that you get more than a great two-hour experience, but connection points to our city, and its stories, that you'll never forget.
