What To Expect

Garden District
Explore the Garden District, one of the world’s most dazzling residential neighborhoods, with knowledgeable and entertaining guides. Experience the architectural splendor of the live oak-tree lined “American” section of town and examine the antebellum era “Creole vs. American” conflict. Witness history and culture reflected in architectural styles including Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Gothic, Georgian, Swiss Chalet, Queen Anne, and more. Highlights include the former or current homes of Archie, Peyton, & Eli Manning: Anne Rice, Nicolas Cage, Sandra Bullock, Trent Reznor, and John Goodman; the cornstalk fence, the death site of Jefferson Davis, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button film site, “Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies” from AMERICAN HORROR STORY, and more! [The City temporarily closed Lafayette Cemetery - tour from outside.] The Garden District Tour emphasizes history, architectural style, personal anecdotes, & tropical plant life.

Lafayette Cemetery No.1
See the famed above-ground tombs of Lafayette Cemetery #1, including “Interview with the Vampire,” “Double Jeopardy,” and “Deja Vu” film sites, and the Jefferson Fire Company No. 22 society tomb, situated across from the fictitious Mayfair family tomb featured in Anne Rice’s “The Witching Hour.” [The City of New Orleans has temporarily closed Lafayette Cemetery for repairs but we still do the cemetery tour from the gates.]
