Not great!
Amy B,Mar 20, 2026

2.00I have been on tours across the nation. I was very excited about this one, but honestly it was not great. Not quite sure what took 2 hours. One cemetery was ok- we went in and walked around and learned some cool information. But the other stop was fast and lame. The guide seemed rushed and we ran into another tour at both stops which messed ours up. The EMF readers were available for use but only at the second stop and there weren’t enough for everyone. It didn’t matter because you only had a couple minutes to use them- while walking around the outside of the fence.

5.00Lauren was an amazing tour “guidess” that gave us very cool information during the tour. Always walk backwards as you leave the cemetery! Carl was an excellent driver! Felt safe the entire time!

5.00David was amazing as a guide. Full of great historical facts and spooky ghost stories. We went with our family of 3 teens, my husband and myself. Eventhough we didn't see any spirits, we learned about different cultures beliefs of the afterlife that are tied to the area. I recommend doing this if you are visiting NOLA.
The tour is not as it was described. There were supposed to be 3 cemetery stops and use of an EMF device. No EMF, tour guide was

2.00Tour was not as described. No use of EMF, only 2 cemeteries visited and the tour guide was extremely rude.

1.00Know where you’re going because they won’t help you find it. They left my mother and I when we desperately needed help to find the place.

5.00The tour was so, So much fun! First of all out driver Darell, was awesome! He navigated New Orleans traffic like a Pro! Lauren was informative and so funny. As a tour guide she is a 12 out of 10. We are definitely booking this tour again. When we got back from the tour we continued talking about everything Lauren had talked about on the tour. 5 Stars all the way.

5.00I took a cemetery tour in New Orleans with our guide Lauren and driver Darrel, and the experience ended up being one of the most interesting parts of the trip. Lauren brought the history of the city to life. She shared stories behind the tombs, the families buried there, and the traditions that make New Orleans cemeteries so unique. Instead of feeling like a history lecture, the tour felt like walking through a living timeline of the city. Her knowledge and storytelling made every stop meaningful and easy to follow. Darrel handled the driving and logistics smoothly, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. He kept everything running on time and made sure we got safely from cemetery to cemetery without any stress. If you’re visiting New Orleans, a guided cemetery tour like this is worth doing. You learn a lot about the city’s culture, history, and traditions, and with a great guide like Lauren and a dependable driver like Darrel, the experience becomes both informative and memorable.
