The Cemetary Tour was really interesting, great value for money and super informative. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and great fun. He really brought the tour to life (excuse the pun!). Highly recommended.
This was a great and extremely informative tour. Wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk. Drew has a wealth of knowledge about the cemeteries, traditions, New Orleans and things that you may have been told that are not accurate. He delivers the information with passion, conviction and some humor. He stays fully engaged with the group. He shows how he feels about the cemeteries by picking up some random trash that someone disrespectfuly left. That days it all. The tour winds up at the Katrina Memorial which is powerful.
Thorn gave an awesome tour. Very informative and interesting. Highly recommend this tour.
Our tour guide, Thorn, was excellent . He was very knowledgeable . I learned so much information. I would recommend taking a tour with Thor for the graveyard cemetery. I really enjoyed listening to him and I really learned a lot about the history of New Orleans outstanding thank you
Thorn was a great storyteller and the tour had way more than I expected. Great experience! I chose it to be able to enter a cemetery but we explored many and learned about traditions and how people had to adjust.
Thorn was great. Very professional, and shared a lot of knowledge. 10/10 would walk again.
Thorn gave us a great tour. learned so much.
The tour was great! Thorn was great! He is very knowledgeable and a great guide! However, DO NOT BOOK WITH SPUR EXPERIENCES. We recieved the tour as a wedding gift. It was paid as adult admission but the third party service booked us under "infant" tickets and might not have paid the full price to the Haunted History Tours
V was amazing! She had so much historical facts and interesting information. We were the only ones on the tour so we had so much fun talking with her and learning so much about the area! I even found a grave with my maiden name…maybe an ancestor! If you are into history, definitely go on this tour with V!!!! 💚🪦💀
Drew was fantastic. He seemed authentic and genuine, but was still very informative and knowledgeable. We accidently booked this tour instead of a different one and we were not disappointed. Ive already recommended it to others.
