Great tour. I would have liked to walk and see more, rather than stopping for long periods and listening. The guide was very knowledgeable.

Sarah our tour guide was absolutely amazing. She gave a fun lively tour sharing interesting fun facts while being very mindful of our safety. We even took a little detour to see the American Horror Story Coven House when one of the tourists requested it. Amazing time would definitely do it again!

Steven S was our tour guide. We started at the cemetery and then walked a loop through the neighborhood. He lent insight into the history of New Orleans at every stop, relayed pop culture references (famous people who lived there, scenes in movies, etc) and told funny stories. It was a wonderful afternoon.

Sarah was our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would like to hear more story’s about the people in the tombs/ houses, but overall we had a great time. The cemetery’s in New Orleans are gorgeous. SUPER hot in August, so wear something very light.

Tour guide Sarah was great. The cemetery part of the tour was the most interesting to me because she really knew her stuff.
