Spring Blooms in New Orleans

The late, great singer-songwriter Dr. John once wrote, “If you wanna do some livin’ before you die, do it down in New Orleans.” And, he might have added, try to do it in the springtime. Spring is the BEST season to visit New Orleans with trees blooming with candy-scented flowers, the best sightseeing weather and less crowds. This tour offers an intimate look at a New Orleans most never get to experience led by 2 local tour managers with years of garden travel expertise.

This setting is a landscape of exceptional scenery. Lake Como is a deep lake hemmed in like a fjord by towering mountains. Lake Maggiore has the character of an inland sea, with ferries crossing to the famous island gardens for an afternoon in another world. This region has been an inspiration for a string of illustrious writers and composers, and a long line of distinguished visitors.

No trip to Italy would be complete without experiencing the famed gastronomy and we have several food and wine events planned that will be the icing on the cake of this spectacular garden tour.
