Julia was an excellent tour guide! I enjoyed the tour of the home and gardens immensely. I think Im now as much in love with camellias as Edith Sterne! The plants were all so mature and well tended, you could tell theyve been nurtured and taken care of. It was great seeing an historical home built more recently. I appreciate that the Sternes wanted to build a home in the local architectural styles so visitors could see it in a more preserved state, as the older homes in the area once were. Thank you so much for sharing this home with the public!

If you want that southern charm without compromise, I would recommend the house and garden tour of the Longue Vue House and Gardens. This historic property backs up to a country club but the immaculate detail and care of the house are the true stars. Sprawling oak trees welcome you to the house and bubbling fountains emphasis the serenity of the gardens. History is flush in this beautiful property.

A wonderful experience. On a beautiful day, to enjoy the colors and explosive growth of a well thought garden; is both joyful and spiritual. Longer Vue is a gift to all who visit.

This is a great attraction to visit. The gardens are serene and beautiful. Great place to spend a relaxed afternoon. the house is gorgeous and very unique. The guides are very well informed and attentive to guests inquiries. They also have a small store that sell lovely items and souvenirs.

Ily was the best tour guide ever! Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to view both the house and gardens! 2 hours minimum

My kids are going to the Vue Crew after school and THEY LOVE IT. They call it Garden Club and look forward to it. The grounds are beautiful and it is a lovely place.

Tour guide was informative. On our visit Gardens appeared to be a bit run down. $20 per person seems a bit expensive in return for what you get.

This is a another awesome thing to do in New Orleans. It was really beautiful and amazing If you like to know how to build the house or get some idea about the house, this is a good place to do. They provide a guide tour to explain everything inside for you. I paid $12 for regular person and $8 for student in USA.

Definitely worth a visit. Tour guide for house was enjoyable and very genuine. Took a Lyft from our hotel there and back. Nice story about the house and gardens. Make sure to visit the play house too.

We had an amazing time here I highly recommend you bring your kids.

Super fun place to learn about culture of Old Nola families. Would highly recommend to even locals. The grounds are used to take photos for weddings and special events. Try the backstage tour for more in- depth knowledge.

Ive been 3 times and I learn something new every time. Beautiful grounds, house and stories. Im local but I enjoy being a tourist in my cities.

Friendly reception. Variety of plants. We plan to go back when more are in bloom.

I enjoyed the self-guided tour and also Liz super awesome She went above and beyond her required job description.

This place was absolutely stunning. I only got to see the garden but I loved every bit of it.

Great tour guide. Love this beautiful house. So many interesting facts and items in this house. Lovely staff that takes care of this place. Ground are gorgeous!

My husband and I had a few minutes to spare. We didnt go inside the house we just enjoyed the gardens. From what we saw it was very a very peaceful, tranquil place. If you are in the area and have a fifteen to a half hour to spare I would definitely visit. Also seemed like the kind of place to enjoy a cup of joe and a good book next to the lighthouse. Enjoy!!

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time here! We did the version with the house tour, which I would definitely recommend to others. Our docent/tour guide Sharon did a fantastic job. It was also just us on our tour, so she was able to talk directly with us and answer our individual questions. It made for a very personalized experience. The whole thing really exceeded our expectations.

Great tour with so much history. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city. There is also a beautiful garden to see.

One of my favorite places to visit in New Orleans! Inexpensive short cab ride.

The flowers were beautiful, but the map did not help from the parking lot. I dont think I saw everything.

Nice place to go. Quiet and calm

Nice place to walk around a bit and probably really pretty in late spring, but we went early March (when the weather is perfect) and it seemed like there wasnt much to see. The house tour was cool, but we didnt learn anything about most of the art in the house, even though the brochure says there is art from the 17th century. Overall the gardens were much smaller than they seemed on the website, and several things looked like they had not been kept up. I had the impression that either their master gardener quit, or they lost some funding recently.

Beautiful place to admire the vast array of plants. Wesley Harpist played beautifully!!!

Wow. Perfect place for a wedding or reception. My fiancee and I stumbled upon this place and became enchanted. We Will most definitely be back, hopefully to exchange vows.

House is not that old but the interior design and artwork is impressive for its time. Try to come in the morning during summer months. Young kids will get bored quickly.

We ended up here on a surprisingly cold winter day in New Orleans. We werent sure what to expect, but had some extra time and were looking for a good option for something to do indoors. Im so glad we ended up at Longue Vue. Our tour guide was great -- knew the history of the whole house so well and had great details to share. A beautiful home owned by a very interesting family. The grounds are lovely as well and though we didnt get to see them at their best as our visit was in November, I imagine they are stunning at their peak.

I highly recommend taking the time for both the guided tour of the Stern mansion and the self guided tour of the gardens. Our docent Wilma provided interesting details throughout the magnificent home, and the gardens are spectacular! Impressive from start to finish.

Beautiful home and gardens. Our tour guide was fantastic and did a great job entertaining the children in the group. Lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon.

The house is interesting. Built late 1920s but had many of the conveniences we have today.We went in January so not much blooming in the gardens. Im sure would be spectacular in spring and summer.

Historic home built by a prominent and generous family in the early 40s. Its been preserved intact, with all the original features and furniture. We were lucky enough to take a tour led by a retired history teacher with a detailed knowledge of the house amd gardens. Spend some time on the 8 acre grounds.

The tour of the house was fantastic and the gardens are beautiful. I was fortunate to get there without a huge crowd. I advice not going on a weekend.

One of my favorite places to visit whenever I want a work break. I go here to remind me of whats possible, the lifestyle Im am pursuing, I love and enjoy hearing the story during the tour. I imagine myself living just as influential, this place influence me to keep moving forward in a way that provides for me, my family and strangers in the future. Its not just about what you accomplish today, but how will your accomplishments influence the future.

Very intresting history of American families lovely home enjoyed the day

Amazing home to visit and discover the history! Even on such a hot day they had so many places just to sit in the shade and enjoy the Fresh air and atmosphere of the property.

Beautiful country manor. The gardens are fun to explore and the tour guides give a friendly, informative tour of the main house.

The grounds are beautiful, the curators and docents are friendly. I just wish that our guided tour was slower. I didnt feel like I got to fully see each room, or look at the photographs. The guide also spoke so quickly that it was difficult to understand everything. My husband and I really enjoyed it over all! And I appreciate the discovery garden for children

If youre someone who just enjoy being surrounded by greenery this may be the place for you, however, on the otherhand if youre looking for a stunning, eye catching, beautiful blossoming flowers then it just may not be the place for you. I really like the spacious areas which can be quite serene and if you have small kids they can run around while you have a picnic, but unfortunately many of the greenery is just not well kept and the fountains were not either working or just not on. Not to mention the fountains that contained water in them could use some cleaning. One of the ladies that greeted us was very informative and nice. Nevertheless, if you like history go for it, you just might like it more than me!

Beautiful music and a perfectly manicured shaded garden

Nice and peaceful loved the garden.

Longue Vue House & Gardens7 Bamboo RdNew Orleans, LAIf you’re looking for more than a home to visit, check out this historic estate that holds one of New Orleans’s most famous house museums. Deemed a national historic landmark, this home’s garden, fountains, and groves space span over eight acres, including interactive areas for children.

Im an early eighties baby. This was one of my elementary schools many annually booked field trips back when schools had local business partners. ;)

Beautiful house - wonderful tour! If you live in New Orleans or are coming to visit, Longue Vue is off the beaten path and a wonderful place to spend a couple hours. The gardens are peaceful, the house has character, and the tour guides are nice and knowledgeable.

Beautiful grounds. Discovery garden is great for kiddos. The interior tour was a fascinating peek into a bygone era of NOLA history. Fun day out w the family!

Beautiful, and a lot of fun for a field trip!

The garden is breathtaking. You could you could literally spend hours here and be in heaven. Also the house tour was amazing. the tour guide explained the history of the building and the people who live there and show it all the quirky things about how it was designed. I highly recommend this for a nice relaxing day or a romantic getaway.

We had a wonderful time visiting this mansion! The gardens were beautiful. Tess was our tour guide and she was fantastic! She took the time to answer all of our questions and was extremely knowledgeable. We’re so glad we got to learn more about the Edith and Edgar Stern.

Worth a visit if you have some time in NOLA! Beautiful gardens and really nice tour of the fantastic home.

It was beautiful, but we didnt appreciate the huge pride flag being shoved in your face.

First go to the ticket booth to pay for admission and join the docent-led tour. I enjoyed the tour inside the house. The gardens were pretty impressive too (vegetable, wild, etc)

A Relaxing Place to Visit

Such a beautiful home! Gardens were lovely. Guided tour was great - though one member of our party thought it was too short and felt rushed. Just a short drive from the touristy part of new Orleans. Well worth the drive and cost of admission.

I am in love with this garden!

Beautiful loving narrative and eclectic collection!

We had a fantastic your and time walking the grounds.

Beautiful estate with tons of history. I wish we had more time but the time we had was worth it. Definitely bring your camera because this place is full of photo ops.

Beautiful and relaxing experience! Our tour guide was wonderful, and we enjoyed learning about the family. Their philanthropy was moving.

Beautiful home and garden. The tour was very interesting and informative

Sue was wonderful and a great tour guide. The house was beautiful. Our guide knew so much information about the house and the family.

Wonderful gardens, good history lesson about one of NOLAs most philanthropic families.

Lovely house and gardens. Guided tour was interesting

Longue Vue hosted my bridal luncheon this past spring, and made it the most beautiful, unforgettable afternoon. The home and gardens are already so lovely, and we were lucky enough to have good weather, so they tented the outside so we could enjoy the day. All of my girls had a fantastic time! We were so lucky to celebrate this special moment at such an iconic New Orleans location.

Very beautiful house with interesting history, beautiful gardens, and decor. Loved the tour!

This was a great place to visit and spend a morning in New Orleans. Very well kept grounds and gardens and the house tour is well worth the fee. We got to learn about the the Sterns and their philanthropy for the Arts. The staff is courteous, knowledgable and more than willing to share the story of the mansion and grounds.

What I experience about this place is a beautiful love story a beautiful marriage we enjoyed it thank you so much cant wait to come back again to see the gourd because it was raining.

Beautiful place. Friendly staff. Great field trip!

Beautiful! There has been a free event this summer on the last Thursday of the month for June, July and one more for August. I cant wait to go back!

Very nice, spent 1.5 hrs in the garden. The house tour is very interesting, not too long. Beautiful, peaceful Eden like space, worth the trip. $12 pp house and gardens is the only price option. Good value.

Really beautiful grounds. We took an Uber there. Didnt realize in order to walk around you need to buy a house ticket tour for $12, and that part takes 45 min. We decided not to, but enjoyed the view. Lovely tree lined front walkway. Very peaceful here.

This place is so beautiful, I didnt have time to see it all so will return to finish the tour. If you like to explore old homes and gardens you will be glad you stopped here.

Beautiful mansion on grounds in New Orleans. Nice consolation if you cant get out to the plantations. You walk the gardens outside by yourself, then you can go inside and get a tour. The tour guides were real nice, new their stuff, leaving took us down into the basement to check out The Wine Cellar.overall I had a great time, I would recommend to anyone looking to kill some time in New Orleans.

Worth seeing when you come to New Orleans

Beautiful area. Even saw a fox on the way out of area

This is a hidden gem, truly wish we could get over there more often.

Not only blown away by the Gardens, House and History but also by the Staff! I recently had a corporate retreat at Longue Vue and it was above and beyond what we imagined. The staff made our large event seem effortless and accommodated all of our needs- they thought of things we did not even think of! I cannot express enough how wonderful the staff was to work with from start to finish. I am thrilled to see where the Executive Director is taking Longue Vue and the team she has built. I 100% recommend working with Longue Vue and having your next event there!

Beautiful 1940s house and gardens. A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. A long walk back to the cable car.

I enjoyed the experience, hope to go again when more flowers are in bloom.MsJo

Very nice. A lot bigger than I thought. Great for kids too

Lovely, unique mansion, lots of attention to detail. And Tess was a great tour guide!

Brilliant and extraordinary house built by crazy people with far more money than sense.

I really enjoyed it here. The tour was fairly priced and the house and its interior were not only gorgeous but extremely interesting. 200-year-old, hand-painted wallpaper for China? A 18th-century mural lining the hallway of this impeccable 20th-century mansion? Most beautiful house Ive toured.

Great piece history that is amazingly beautiful. The tour is a must.

I have lived in New Orleans for most of my life and never took the time to visit Longue Vue.... Just when I thought I had seen everything to see... The house is an amazing thing ... Early a/c, floral arrangement room, library, gardens and the location itself was a complete surprise to me.If you like architecture and southern gardens, its worth a visit.

Beautiful landscape property that is a venue for social gatherings and weddings. It is a great place to support artistic and horticultural endeavor. The gardens were a great disappointment as I thought it would be as an English garden of hedges.

A more contemporary home than we thought. A must visit.

Almost a private tour. My wife and I were the only guests today, and we got a few extras. Our tour guide was excellent.Take the time to visit. You will enjoy it. The house has original air-conditioning from the 30s.

This is a hidden treasure you must be sure to check out right off Met. RoadBeautiful historic home, estate + gardens. Also resident artist JAMAR PIERRE right now. Theres even a special childrens Secret Garden area! Also perfect for certain events

A great visit to a wonderful home in NOLA.

If you love to live a cliche southern life and maybe occasionally want to be a post-ironic hipster, this is your jam. Don’t laugh, you’re going to go because of this review. I c u. Anyway, like in college, rock out w the professors you really learned from, cuz. This place is qt.

Loved this historical site! I have traveled to many places in the US and abroad, and was amazed at the gorgeous, preserved furnishings of this house. An amazing story and unparalleled opportunity to see a gorgeous house and its gorgeous, preserved furnishings. (And, of course, the famous gardens!)

I had a contracted photo shoot for the authors in my anthology at Longue Vue House and Gardens in New Orleans for a magazine doing an article about us. The contract and payment were done and settled earlier this week. When we arrived to the location with the photographer, we were met in the hallway by the Executive Director who immediately informed up they were closed. I explained to her we had a contracted photo shoot and my authors drove in from out of state. Then she told us they had an event at 10 am and we couldnt be in the house. I explained that we knew that already and were prepared to take pictures under covered areas outside per our agreement with their sales manager. Then she proceeded to tell us we could not shoot there, ask us how much did we pay and informed one of the authors that her husband could not be inside. She said we could just go and they will refund my money within 24 hours. The executive director said we should have been informed by the sales manager, I asked for her, but she said that she was gone and would not be back for 45 minutes. I proceeded to call the sales manager who I confirmed with the day before about where we needed to go and who to check in with, however she did not answer. Not only was me and the guest embarrassed in front of staff and others who were in the house, the ED was confrontational, rude and dismissive. In addition, we had to find another location and pay more money to be able to shoot. I would never recommend this place apparently contracts mean nothing!

Amazing place for a Sunday with the family.

Beautiful grounds and excellent tour. Our tour guy was very informative and excited to tell you about the family. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and you get to wonder all through them. Theres many different benches and seating areas for you to sit and enjoy the grounds.

Enjoyed the house tour very much. Impressed by the furnishings and details of the house. The gardens are so so and needs more maintenance.

Ive been to the Longue View House twice now. I could go back again. Its a beautiful house (although I call it an estate) and lovely gardens. Great photo ops in the gardens. A must see when you are in Nola.

Love this Park for his natural look

The gardens are beautiful. The wild garden and the discovery garden are great. Really want to go back when the irises and the camellias are in bloom. A wonderful hidden gem of a place.

Nice to see a modern 1947 house in NOLA.

Interesting stop for N.O. visitors. The mansion is beautiful, so are the gardens although it may not have been the best time of the year when I visited. Our tour guide was great and I loved her sense of humour.

Beautiful house and Gardens. Incredible architecture! Sadly youre not allowed to take pictures inside the house but taking the tour is definitely worth it. You learn so much about the history of the house and its just beautiful inside and out!
