Walter was a great guide. We learned so much about the area because he lives in the area and he provided excellent information.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for joining us on our Garden District Walking Tour! Walter’s personal connection to the neighborhood adds something truly special to the experience, and we are so glad you enjoyed his knowledge and insight. There is nothing quite like exploring the Garden District with someone who knows its history, architecture, stories, and streets so well. Thank you for walking with us, and we hope to see you again on another tour!
Lacey was great. She was very informative of the history of not just the Garden District, but of New Orleans as a whole. She made the tour interesting by including information about pop culture and other fun facts. The tour itself was about 2 hours, and a little over 1 mile of walking. Highly recommend and we look forward to visiting the Garden District again soon.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for joining us.
Lacey has a wonderful way of connecting the bigger story of New Orleans to the homes and streets of the Garden District. I am so glad you enjoyed the mix of history, pop culture, and fun facts along the way. That balance keeps the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour both informative and engaging.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to see you again when you come back to visit the Garden District. There are always more stories waiting beneath those oaks. ✨
We had the most amazing experience on this tour! Walter, our guide, was knowledgeable, kind, and provided us an unforgettable tour of the area. We could have spent all day walking around with him, learning about the area.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for this beautiful review of our Garden District Walking Tour. I love hearing that you had such an amazing experience with Walter. He truly has a gift for blending deep knowledge with warmth, and the Garden District is one of those places where you really could wander for hours and still have more stories to tell.
The fact that you could have spent all day walking and learning with him says everything. That is exactly the kind of experience we hope to create. We would absolutely love to have you back to explore even more of New Orleans with us next time.
We had a very informative tour with Walter who was exceptionally knowledgeable on the buildings and area. Would definitely recommend the tour to learn about the different architecture styles. Walter was also helpful in recommending places to eat for our restricted diet.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review of our Garden District Walking Tour! We are thrilled to hear that Walter made the experience both informative and welcoming. His deep knowledge of the architecture and history of the district really brings those streets and homes to life, and I love hearing that he was also able to help with dining recommendations that fit your dietary needs. That personal touch matters to us.
We truly appreciate the recommendation, and we hope you’ll come explore with us again. We have several other tours waiting for you the next time you’re back in New Orleans.
Our tour guide, Lacey, was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a thorough, highly informative tour where I was able to take as many pictures as I wanted. Great tour. Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in history and/or real estate.

Lovely walk through beautiful area gaining knowledge of the homes and their inhabitants. Wear comfortable shoes and be aware of uneven surfaces.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you so much for the kind review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour.
The reason I rated this tour the way I did is that the tour was cancelled. I would like to know how to get a refund for the tour.

Loved the garden district tour! Angela was so knowledgeable about the entire New Orleans area and garden district. Would recommend to anyone visiting New Orleans!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you fror the review
Sometimes you have to watch your step.
And you’re not able to go into the cemetery.
Otherwise very good guide
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for your review.
We will always be sad about not being able to enter the cemetery. Unfortunately it is closed to the public for the unforeseen future. Fortunately we can still see in and discuss it.
Our tour guide Angela was quite knowledgeable about the area and gave us a deep understanding of the history and the reason for so many cultures in one spot. The architecture portion was particularly interesting and references to well-known celebrities. I would highly recommend this tour in this particular guide.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you for the review. We are so glad you liked the tour. Angela is great and we are fortunate to have her to help spread love and understanding about our city.
Deanne was the best tour guide ever!! Her knowledge of the history of her area and the laws was so impressive and made for a great tour. Such a beautiful and lovely lady made us feel right at home. Highly recommend

DeAnna DuPont was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Hands down the best Historic Homes tour we’ve done.
