“This wasn’t necessarily what we were expecting. Guide spent majority of the tour talking about filming locations or celebrities that currently live in the homes throughout the garden district. Would have loved to understand more about the neighborhoods culture and history. Perhaps while the cemetery is closed this tour would benefit from a shortened time - ie: 1 hour / 1 hour 30 min. At times it felt as though we were just trying to fill time. Overall, it was great to explore a part of the city that we otherwise wouldn’t have traveled to and the guides very dry sense of humor did keep us smiling.”
