GARDEN DISTRICT WALKING TOUR

Take the historic St. Charles streetcar to the beautiful Garden District, site of mansions and magnolias. Once the Creole Livaudais plantation, the Garden District became home to the wealthy Americans who flooded into the Crescent City after the Louisiana purchase of 1803.

These Americans adorned their Greek Revival palaces with Creole cast iron, making the area an eclectic mixture of the old and new influences of the 19th Century.

Colorful gardens grace these homes, many of which are still single-family private residenses.

Your guide will take you on a stroll through Lafayette Cemetery, one of New Orleans' "cities of the dead", populated by the vampires and witches of Anne Rice's gothic novels.*

Don't miss this opportunity to see the "flip side" of New Orleans, America's most interesting city!

*NOTE: Lafayette Cemetery is closed on Saturday afternoons and all day Sunday.
