Homes of former Kings and Queens of Mardi Gras are located in this area ... once part of the plantation owned by Bienville, the founder of New Orleans.

View the former residence of celebrated author Anne Rice, as well as the house where Jefferson Davis died in 1889; and Toby's Corner, the oldest house in the area (built in 1838). Visit Lafayette Cemetery, one of our Cities of the Dead, and learn about our unusual above-ground burial system.

Gray Line New Orleans features high-tech wireless headsets on the Garden District Walking Tour. With the wireless tour system, you can hear every word spoken by the tour guide clearly and distinctly from a comfortable distance; there is no need to be right next to the guide to understand the full tour narration. The system is also a favorite for the hearing impaired who can increase the volume level to meet their individual needs. Please note: the audio system will not be used during inclement weather.

A short stop for refreshments is included on our stroll through this beautiful section of New Orleans. Includes climate controlled transportation to and from Garden District, narrated tour, and refreshment.
