J was an amazing tour guide! She was funny and the experience such a fun tour. My friend and I couldn’t find the location of the tour. J made sure to call me to make sure we were still coming and that we could locate her. Bruce was an amazing driver. Would highly recommend this tour.
Wow! Excellent Experience!

Jai and Corey were absolutely phenomenal! I would recommend to anyone to go on this tour. Jai’s knowledge and charismatic personality made this a one-of-a-kind experience. She interacted with the entire group and it was really fun when my brother was “murdered,” :) along with my daughter and I following him, so that we could experience what would be in store for each of us upon ‘burial’ in a family tomb. And this was all in addition to the Katrina Memorial site and other cemeteries! So much packed into one evening—what an awesome experience!

“J” is an extremely knowledgeable guide. She kept us informed, engaged and laughing. A great time for us and everyone else on the tour. We will repeat our cemetery tour with her the next time we are in New Orleans.

We really enjoyed this tour. There are several to choose from and I’m sure each one offers different perspectives and locations. Our guide was Geoff and he was fabulous. A fabulous tour guide makes the tour. He had rich facts and a great personality. I like that we toured a locked cemetery that can only be accessed on this tour. Geoff gave us some facts and history as we made our way to the stop and passed several cemeteries. We spent about an hour there walking around and learning about the Oddfellows cemetery. Then we stopped quick for a bathroom break and you could get a drink or beignets there. We stopped at one more cemetery (Charity Hospital) but could just see through the locked gates. It was a good tour and we enjoyed all of it.
Great Tour!
