Enjoyed taking a tour by Free Tours of the Garden District and Lafayette Cemetery No. 1. A nice streetcar ride from the French Quarter added to the experience

We took a tour with Historic New Orleans Tours w'hich was wonderful. The houses were amazing and our guide was mega informative. As others have written you must be careful where and how you Walk as the mighty oaks have wrecked havoc with the sidewalk. We loved the Garden District.

We took a free tour and were pretty impressed with all the grand houses and the history of this district. It's also a very green place and nice to stroll through.

What can I say except there are some amazing homes in this district. Beautiful homes. Be careful walking the sidewalks. I missed a loose brick and made a 3 point fall on my left knee, right hand, and my nose.

Take one of the guided walk sheets from your hotel or the internet, You can do it in a couple hours including the cool cemetery next door. Even saw Sandra...
