I really enjoyed touring this historic home and learning what life was like for enslaved people who lived in New Orleans. The house is luxuriously decorated and the contrast between that and the spartan quarters for the enslaved is stark. There are original implements in the kitchen and scullery and you really see what kind of tools were available. My tour guide was knowledgeable and I learned a lot about New Orleans in the 1830s-50s.

Fascinating tour and gorgeous house. They should have room information cards made in various languages ( Spanish, French, German etc) as French speaking visitors couldn’t communicate with the tour guide who has to rely on Google translate. Or have audio guides made up for in foreign languages.

Excellent and engaging tour with a focus on Urban Enslavement in this historic home and in this city. Very interesting and insightful. Great docent with the added bonus of seeing the Open Hearth Cooking demonstration. I would highly recommend this tour for locals and visitors alike.

This was a magnificent, thorough, eye-opening, must see part of a visit to New Orleans. The tour guide was so knowledgeable, and happy to take any questions. The house is beautifully restored and you also learn about the life of enslaved people in the house as well as New Orleans at large. Our best tour while we were there, and would happily go back!

I had visited the Herman-Grima house in the past when the tour was a general history overview. It now focuses on urban enslavement, providing a perspective I have not encountered elsewhere. The docent was excellent, giving a clear picture of what life had been like for the enslaved, and for the family in residence. I would highly recommend a visit.

This historical home was in very good condition, which was cool, but the best was our tour guide, Robert. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The experience was a perfect compliment to the Whitney Plantation, showing the contrast in different enslaved peoples lives and honoring their lives.

I have visited New Orleans several times, and I am a little embarrassed to admit I have never been on this tour till this past visit. A very kind and knowledgeable docent greeted us. The hour tour was so packed with information and history, I feel as though I received a semester's worth of knowledge in an hour's time. Jemima is an outstanding historian, and while you're learning from her, you feel steeped in the past with the backdrop of a pre-war mansion. I can't recommend this tour enough. If you're visiting New Orleans make it a priority to go, it's also affordable and the gift shop has a great selection of unique items from local artists.

Ever wonder how the other half lived? See the backyard dwellings and learn about the lives of the enslaved who kept it all running. Then enter the main mansion and revisit historic New Orleans. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and open to learning from some of us historic buffs as well.

My Wife and I really enjoyed the Creole Death and Mourning tour put on at the Gallier House on Royal St. in New Orleans. The home has been restored to 1850s condition as much as practical (It had been updated over the years), and the Guide was very friendly and appeared to be quite knowledgeable. The cost of the Tour was reasonable, and took about an hour.

Robert was our tour guide and he was excellent. He had a great personality and was very entertaining in the way he delivered information regarding all aspects of the mansion including the slave quarters, the outdoor/ courtyard area and the interior of the house. Robert was very informative/knowledgeable and passionate about the homes storied past. My wife and I took 5 tours in New Orleans and this tour was our favorite. Would highly recommend.
