Itinerario
Fondato nel 1865 dalla Gran Loggia dello Stato della Louisiana Free and Accepted Masons, il Masonic Cemetery esprime un carattere distinto dai cimiteri cattolici che dominano la città. È noto per le sue numerose tombe insolite ed elaborate, una reputazione dovuta in parte alla natura comune del cimitero: i membri delle logge hanno unito le risorse per acquistare tombe di grandi gruppi. Occupando due isolati di città dalla forma strana, il cimitero ha una pianta triangolare, con via Conti che lo divide in due. L'impronta triangolare delle strade confinanti sovrapposte ai passaggi angolari interni del cimitero imita l'emblema massonico della piazza e del compasso. Le staccionate in ghisa racchiudono le sue due sezioni distinte, mentre i bordi settentrionali e occidentali delimitano le allées di quercia. Le tombe sono disposte in modo compatto in file parallele a Bienville Street, con un'ampia passeggiata lastricata che attraversa il centro per fornire l'accesso a passaggi più piccoli tra le file.

Our guide was AWESOME! He was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job taking us around NOLA and telling us stories!
The tour itself and the tour guide Roy were great! Very educational and interesting, the graveyards are beautiful. It’s New Orleans, so even at 5:00 the other people on our guide were obnoxiously drunk and disrespectful. Our guide did his best to keep things moving along, but these people were awful. The only thing I did not like was the music blasting on the bus.
Bob was awesome and a great story teller stopped at a park and the Masonic Cemetery. Bring your own bottle was a nice touch
Kendall gave us the best tour. He was very knowledgeable, he genuinely cared about the city of New Orleans and it showed through his presentation. He was entertaining, and an all around pleasure. On the way back, he even dropped up off at our hotel and saved us the cab fare. His presentation at the Dual Sight was topnotch, and it was fun and informative to watch. At the cemetery, explaining about Katrina, and the effect it had on the cemetery, the myths and superstitions, as well as the ghost pictures were amazing. Kendall is the best!!
It was ok. Not what i was expecting. Only went into 1 cemetery. Nothing paranormal about it. Was not spooky AT ALL. I felt like the tour was more about the history of burials in NOLA. Would not do it again & would not recommend either.
Christian was a very good tour guide for our cemetery tour tonight! Very funny and thorough with the details of the city and its history.
We only entered one cemetery and the tour guide, Bob the undertaker, spent about 45 minutes just talking about the masons and the Shriners, etc. etc. etc. it was truly the most boring tour I’ve ever been on and that sentiment was shared by the entire group
Where do I start? The tour bus accident? And then The tour guide leaving us on the corner of the street after the accident because he was late to his next tour. He said so sorry but I’m late! It was 10:23 right before the accident and he was late due to him pulling over to talk (rant) nonstop about Katrina. While I do feel for him and the tragedy that occurred, it was a bit too much and lasted too long. Not to mention the lack of facts regarding the city or even Katrina for that matter.. it was nonstop incoherent rambling
Enjoyed the tour with Henry. Learned some interesting historical facts about burials in Nee Orleans. Even got to stop for beignets.
We had a great time and Henry was a fun guide! Info. was very interesting and I wouldn’t change it, only add more ghost stories.
