    The Garden District, or ‘Lafayette City’, as it was once known, is just a short streetcar ride from the French Quarter, but it feels like a world apart.
    Excluded from early 19th Century Creole society, newly arrived Yankees got to work creating their own city. The result is one of New Orleans’s most desired neighborhoods and one of the nation’s most beautifully preserved city districts and it’s home to the rich, the famous, the strange, and the dead!

    If you think the virtual tour is good, it is EXCELLENT in person!! (Full tour is two hours.) My sons and I took this exact tour with Andrew yesterday and it was one of the highlights of our trip to New Orleans! Andrew has an impressive knowledge of the entire region and he is well-spoken, entertaining and a FUN guide! There were about 20 people on our tour and as we walked from one place to the next he took time chatting and getting to know each person there. Highly recommended!!

    The Garden District used to be the old Livaudais Plantation before the land was divided up and sold to incoming Americans after the Louisiana Purchase. The Garden District was in the “American Sector”. It is a beautiful place.
    There is actually a Creole Garden District too (Creole in Louisiana means the colonial descended, Louisiana-born people of any race or ancestry, except Native American. This extends to their style, culture, cuisine and way of life). The Creole Garden District is the Esplanade Ridge, which is the area along Esplanade Avenue into Faubourg St. John along Bayou St. John. It’s where the white Creoles of the Vieux Carré relocated to after leaving the Vieux Carré due to some crushing economic and demographic factors. I’m from one of those relocated families.
    New Orleans history is so rich.

    Thank you Andrew. I am from the UK and lost count of the times I have planned to go to New Orleans. Hopefully next year! This is brilliant and not everyone wants to visit to party. I will look forward to soaking up the atmosphere of the French Quarter and maybe a few drinks but this is so informative. I love American history.

      So agree. I have nothing against a bit of partying, but the music,food,and architecture are more interesting to me. They also teach you about New Orleans' history and culture since food can tell a story.

    Just excellent. Your delivery is both personable and engaging, and you maintain eye contact with your audience (in this case the camera) almost continuously, looking away only to direct audience attention to points of interest. You've included a huge amount of objective historical information, and you've delivered it a way that intrigues the audience and makes them want to learn more. There's no evidence of memorization - just great conversational style. I'm a retired park ranger, and in the course of my career I've given tours to tens of thousands of people and attended many, many interpretive training courses . In this video, you sir, have given one one of the most enjoyable tours I've experienced in a very, vey long time - in line with some of the very best. If I ever make it back to NO, I look forward to experiencing a live tour with you. Thank you for the wonderful experience (and yes, I'm sending you a tip and have subscribed to your channel)!

    Hard to "over complement" Andrew; he's that good. His historical knowledge, talent and love of the New Orleans scene is almost overwhelming. Excellent time spent, watching these videos. Such diversity! It's fun learning about each section of this city. And I am very likely coming here in a few weeks! My challenge will be which places/atmospheres will I choose in the couple days (if I'm lucky) I get.

Andrew clearly does his research on every tour and offers more information than any other tour guide who I have ever watched.

I was born in New Orleans but spent half my life in Denver. My boyfriend is a native from Houma and he has taught me a lot about the difference between hoodoo and voodoo, and I’m so happy to see you guys putting videos out like that. Let haters hate. The world is still full of love and support

Daniel is great with a crowd and you can really tell he loves his job which makes the experience really fun for all involved. Time very, very well spent. Absolutely recommend. John Goodman did not make an appearance (boo) but it's nice to see that celebrities and common folk can coexist so humbly. The streets/sidewalks though...OMG...lol.

    I don't know how I've missed your channel on TH-cam all this time but I'm glad I found it and promptly subscribed! I lived on New Orleans' West Bank(Gretna and Algiers) for most of the eighties. We had easy access to all of this but our visits were usually to the French Quarter and French Market. On this site you take the audience into the deep recesses of much of New Orleans that's just not seen, even by the residents. I miss New Orleans. It just gets in your blood and I have many fond memories.

    The fact of the matter is, there wasn’t great deal “to see” but the information given was so thorough and the delivery so engaging, that my imagination “filled in the blanks” and the time literally zipped by.
    My history teachers could have learned a thing or two from this guy-I’d have more A’s in my transcripts.
