Tour a piedi del cimitero n. 3 di New Orleans St. Louis
Descrizione
L'autrice e storica pluripremiata locale Sally Asher ti accompagnerà in un tour di un famoso cimitero di New Orleans che ha scritto su di lei nel libro "Storie dai cimiteri di St. Louis di New Orleans". In questo tour a piedi, imparerai a conoscere le pratiche di sepoltura, i tipi di tombe e visiterai le tombe di alcuni dei cittadini illustri (e famigerati) della città, tra cui il fotografo gobbo che fotografava segretamente le prostitute, la donna dietro l'eccentrico castello, il famoso architetto la cui nave è affondata con oltre 100 prostitute e artisti circensi e chef leggendari che hanno promosso collettivamente il movimento per i diritti civili, restaurato le corse di cavalli in città e (nel bene e nel male) ha introdotto il turducken negli Stati Uniti Il tour dura 1 :15 ed è a meno di un miglio. Sally è appassionata di rivelare storie insolite, oltraggiose e non raccontate di New Orleans, credendo che la storia non riguardi semplicemente l'elenco di date e fatti, ma la delicata collisione tra verità e narrativa - scandali e tutto!

Itinerario
L'autrice e storica locale Sally Asher ti accompagnerà in un viaggio in un famoso cimitero di New Orleans. È stato scritto che il cimitero n. 3 di St. Louis ha così tanti angeli che si può “quasi sentire il battito delle loro ali”. Visiterai le tombe e conoscerai alcuni dei cittadini più importanti (e famigerati) della città, tra cui la prima donna d'affari a cui fu eretto uno statuto pubblico in suo onore, il fotografo gobbo che fotografava segretamente le prostitute, la donna dietro l'eccentrico castello, il famoso architetto la cui nave affondò in un uragano con oltre un centinaio di prostitute e artisti circensi e alcuni chef leggendari che collettivamente promossero il movimento per i diritti civili, ripristinarono le corse di cavalli a New Orleans e (nel bene e nel male) introdussero il turducken negli Stati Uniti. Questo tour dura circa un'ora e mezza e copre circa mezzo miglio. Il punto d'incontro del tour è di fronte al cimitero sulla 3421 Esplanade Ave, al cancello più a destra, sotto gli alberi.

Geoff was an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide, had a really interesting tour. Super enjoyable, would definitely contact him again to do another cemetery if we’re in NOLA again!
It was a great experience. The guy was amazing and full of information and she provided an umbrella!
Very informative and intriguing. Highly recommendable. It is worth it, despite the unforgiving weather.
I’ve done other Nola tours, including other cemetery tours. And tours in other areas, also. The tour with Sally Asher is one of the best. She is extremely well informed about Nola history and especially as it relates to local cemeteries. I would definitely recommend one of her tours.
We did the Angels and Architecture tour with Geoff today and I couldn't have been more pleased! It was a scorcher of a day but Geoff had umbrellas for us to shield the sun. Right off the bat, he was so personable and fun to talk to. He shared the most interesting stories about the entombment process, the various types of tombs, and fascinating characters who call the cemetery their now home. With his background as a funeral director and love of learning (and sharing) history, he was a stellar guide. The tour was taylored to all our questions and exceeded our expectations. It was hands down the best tour of our week's vacation. Don't look any further, book this tour. Thank you Geoff! If you're ever in Oregon, we'll meet up with you at Blockbuster!
Geoff was a great tour guide . Very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very kind and even brought a few UMBRELLAS we could borrow!!!! The cemetery was beautiful and well preserved.
This was one of our favorite experiences in New Orleans. Our guide, Sally, was friendly, informative, and clearly passionate about the history of St. Louis Cemetery #3. We learned so much about New Orleans culture, burial traditions, and local history. The cemetery is peaceful, beautiful, and full of interesting stories. The tour was well organized, easy to follow, and never felt rushed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and authentic New Orleans experience.
Sally was amazing! She's an author of several books on New Orleans history and cemeteries. She really knows her stuff! Our first time to New Orleans and this was a great tour to "get our feet wet" on the who, what,where and why of cemeteries! Sally was so knowledgeable and thoughtful you can definitely tell she truly cares about the history, upkeep and preservation of these beautiful historical cemeteries
She was very knowledgeable and gave plenty of time to take photos. There was a large amount of information about New Orleans burial practices.
Sally was an amazing guide! She made the tour fun and it was also informative! Highly recommend!
