Excellent tour. Our guide Robert was very informative and knowledgeable. We had a small group of four, so the tour was very intimate. Wouldn't change a thing!
Our guide Karen made this a most interesting trip, telling us not only about the history and inmates of the cemetery but also a general background to New Orleans itself.
Richard made our tour so personal! In fact it was just my husband and me doing the tour at the time and he didn't water down anything1 Very interesting history of this old cemetery.
I woldn't change a thing. We had a group of 11 of us together for this tour. Great family trip. Guide was knowledgeable and interactive. I had walked through this cemetary years ago before it was required to be guided. So much better with a guide sharing the stories of what you are seeing and why things are the way they are.
This was such a fun and interesting tour! In one hour, our guide shared a wealth of information. A must do while in New Orleans!
