Thorn was great tour guide. Informative and clearly knew his facts and history. Great overview of all eras and burial info!
Excellent experience. Extremely educational our guide Thorn was terrific. Would highly recommend. I was born in New Orleans Parish. Moved and was raised in CA. Visited many times over the years and still have family in the area. On this tour I learned much I never knew! Don’t hesitate to book this excellent tour.
Our guide, Drew, was outstanding! He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and personable.
We learned a lot about the traditions and pride in New Orleans. I have a much deeper respect for the city and the people.
Thorough, knowledgeable and entertaining.
Great tour by V. She not only told us about history, she made the tour engaging as well. Bring a water bottle. And maybe an umbrella to Shade you from sun exposure.
This was a good tour. You get to see several different types of cemeteries in it. Versus just one. I learned a lot about the different types of burials in the city. And a little history. If I had friends going to NOLA I would recommend the tour because it was very authentic and not hyped up with outrageous stories that likely weren't true. My guide was V and she was very good. It was a very hot day and she checked on everyone as we went along to make sure no one was having issues with the heat. She also was great about answering all our questions, helping us figure out the best way to get home, and giving suggestions about other NOLA activities. The street car stop is RIGHT in front of the meeting point, which was a convenient way to get back to the French Quarter. Note, I think children under 15 would be bored silly on this tour. Although maybe they engage differently if there are kids on the tour (we had none)
Great learning experiences our guide, Thor was awesome! It was full of fun details and made our trip complete
Great tour! As someone from the Northeast, seeing New Orleans' above-ground cemeteries for the first time was fascinating, and doing the tour at night made it even more atmospheric. Drew was energetic, knowledgeable, and answered questions thoughtfully. I really enjoyed that the tour wasn't just a list of historical facts–it also included the local legends, rumors, and stories that make New Orleans so unique. The pacing was excellent, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys history with a spooky twist. If you can, ask for Drew!
