Visit the Opera Guild Home, a historic house in the beautiful Garden District, built in 1859. You’ll learn about its previous owners' history. Now owned by the New Orleans Opera Women’s Guild, the house has found a new life by providing a home for the supporters of opera, and also as a location for feature films such as Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.

Meet your guide and the rest of your group for your New Orleans tour at the hotel Troubadour lobby at 8:30 am. You’ll take the streetcar to the Garden District.
Beautiful homes and gardens line many blocks of this neighborhood, making it famous for its stunning architecture. You are invited to visit a typical house, which today is owned by the Opera Guild.
