Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Garden District, Garden District, New Orleans, Louisiana
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.
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
Stop At: 1427 Washington Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA
We quickly arrive to the home to 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. 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.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Commander's Palace, 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. We’ll admire from the outside, unless you want to treat your guide to a meal of a lifetime.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Magazine Street, Magazine St, New Orleans, LA, USA
To reflect the full story of The Garden District, your guide will highlight the real history and the people 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.
