Take the Garden District Tour with Go City®

• With us, there are no entry fees on the day – all you've got to do is show your pass.
• Take a two-hour tour of the historic district.
• Learn the history of the area and see its opulent houses.
• See the celebrity homes of Sandra Bullock, John Goodman, Anne Rice and more.

Check out the grand mansions and manicured lawns of the Garden District on this two-hour tour. Originally the site of a number of plantations, these opulent houses have a rich history. Stroll under magnolia trees and gaze up at the towering Southern Live Oaks as your guide teaches you all about the people that populated this striking area.

It might be a stomping ground of authors, poets, movie stars and arty types, but this area isn’t just about aesthetics. You’ll learn about the jealousy and mistrust that lead to the construction of these homes, and the one-upmanship to prove the biggest and the best in the face of the Europeans on the other side of town.

Once you’ve had your fix of impressive porches and balconies, you’ll head to the oldest Municipal Cemetery in New Orleans – Lafayette Number 1. Named after the city of Lafayette which was once the area of New Orleans, this cemetery boasts 1,100 tombs and over 7,000 inhabitants. Your guide will give you the lowdown on the above-ground burial practices as well as insider information about those dearly departed.
