Tour Guide was very knowledgeable but didn't seem to like people from Wisconsin very much. He also didn't seem to like tourist very much. I would still recommend the tour simply for the knowledge he portrayed.

Randy was interesting and quite knowledgeable about the Garden District and Cemetery tour information. We were a little disappointed that we could not go inside the cemetery, but that wasn’t his fault. He had a sense of humor and we enjoyed his tour.

Although we did not get to visit the Cemetery due to ongoing renovation, David Reichard, our guide provided an overview of the cemetery and took us on a guided tour of the various mansions and landmarks in the Garden District pointing out historical homes and homes of notables. David is an exceptional story teller with superb communications skills. We enjoyed the tour immensely.

This was more a walking history tour. Needed microphone. Should have texted people that cemetery had closed. Not really an up-close tour of gardens! Guide did not ask us if we had questions we had to interject to ask questions. Was not accommodating. Some side walks very unsafe!
