Experience the architectural splendor of the live oak-tree lined “American” sector of New Orleans and examine the antebellum era “Creole vs. American” conflict on this fascinating Garden District tour, where the streets are open-air museums. Witness how history and culture are reflected in the use of architectural styles including Greek Revival, Italianate, Gothic, Georgian, Swiss Chalet, Queen Anne and more.

Highlights of this walking tour include the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar; the former or current homes of Archie, Peyton, & Eli Manning, Anne Rice, Trent Reznor, Nicolas Cage, Zion Williamson’s mother and John Goodman; the Cornstalk Fence House; the death site of Jefferson Davis; the film site of Brad Pitt’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button;” the Buckner Mansion, also known as “Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies” from American Horror Story, and more.

Lafayette Cemetery is viewed from the gates as the city closed it in 2019. We still do our entire tour from the gates where you can see everything the guide discusses.
