Mansions | Cemetery | History | Celebrities First off our SMALL group will spend a little time getting to know each other - we want it to feel like we're all hanging out with friends! In the lovely Garden District you'll have a very different experience than in the French Quarter. It has a slow paced atmosphere reminiscent of lazy summer days and mint juleps. And the huge mansions with their antique southern charm complete the picture. To unlock and appreciate the secrets of this wealthy neighborhood you'll need an experienced guide. To start we'll stand outside of Lafayette Cemetery (currently closed for repairs) and talk about our fascinating and unique burial methods. Then we'll take a stroll through the gorgeous Garden District where we might even catch a glimpse of a celebrity! The beautiful antebellum homes are breathtaking , and the stories that accompany them are always entertaining and sometimes even shocking. Halfway through we'll take a mid-tour break at a local coffee shop to grab for coffee or snack, and use the restroom Over the past 2 years more than 1000 guests have joined us on this tour and we've lost count of how many of them have told us it was the highlight of their trip to New Orleans. Our guests routinely fall in love with New Orleans' past and come away with a much deeper appreciation and understanding of our great city. www.spectralcitytours.com
