Traveler reviews
Interesting, informative, and captivating!
This was the most informative and captivating tour I’ve ever been on! Our guide, Thorne, was so knowledgeable and articulate. He held our attention for the entire tour and we learned so much about the burial practices and history of New Orleans! We highly recommend this tour! I would even do it again myself!
You won’t be disappointed.
I found this very interesting and I really liked it. If you’re on the fence I totally recommend you take this tour. It is 45-1 hr. They run 100% on time. Easy walk from bourbon French quarter area. Bring an umbrella and water.
Darren was a great guide...
Darren was a great guide and taught us so much about the history of NOLA itself, not just the cemeteries…great tour even with a little rain. Would go again!
