Kelsey was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide of the Garden District. Would highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for beautiful scenery outside of the French Quarter.

It was an absolutely amazing tour. The history of the homes in the Garden District was shared in such a detailed, vivid, and engaging way that it truly brought the area to life. New Orleans has an incredible amount of history, and when it’s told by the right person—aka Kelsey, someone who is knowledgeable, passionate, and captivating—you find yourself completely intrigued, hanging on every word, and genuinely eager to learn more.

Kelsey was patient (we were late bc we got caught behind a second line), knowledgeable and a good storyteller. She welcomed our questions, regaled us with spooky what ifs and had fun w us. We were the only ones on the tour and it was great. Highly recommend

Small group tour with plenty of time to ask specific questions on aspects of area and people within it. The tour guide was through in descriptions and provided intriguing information. Loved every minute of it and could have walked the whole area to hear more! Especially loved hearing about the symbolism of certain things. Don’t want to give it away!
