Spooky fun!

Jeff was a fantastic tour guide. Oddfellows was great and Jeff's stories were interesting. My only wish was that we had more time to use the emf device and take pics with a bit more space from each other. It was a sold out tour though so I get it.

Cemetery tour

Good tour. I wish there was more than 1 cemetery and more emphasis on the equipment. Jeff, our guide, was very knowledgeable.

Cemetery Tour

Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The tour guide struggled to communicate and provide information throughout the tour due to several passengers being rude and intoxicated, which took away from the overall experience. Although the rainy weather was beyond anyone’s control, the lack of consideration from other passengers made the experience even less enjoyable. Additionally, I overheard other passengers mentioning that they paid only $36, compared to the $56 I paid. A $20 price difference is significant and raises concerns about the consistency and fairness of the pricing. Overall, I expected a much better experience for the amount I paid.

Fantastic!

Jeff was an enthusiastic tour guide who had very deep knowledge. I learned a lot on the tour about the history of burials in New Orleans along with a lot of great local history. A+++
