What people are saying

My friend booked the Historic Garden District tour so when it started at the White farm house with a discussion of ancestral witch craft I was a little startled. But that feeling quickly changed with Hannah Kate's presentation. She is incredibly engaging and her knowledge of the Garden District was fantastic. She is also an amazing story teller. I had a wonderful time, even though it was well over 90 degrees, because Hannah Kate kept is the shade and took great care of us. I strongly recommend this tour even if witch craft isn't your thing, as the architecture, the history and the beauty of the Garden District combine seamlessly with Hannah Kate'a talk.
