5Don't miss this tour if you want to understand New Orleans. If you're lucky, you'll get Drew.
Drew was the best tour guide I've ever had. His voice was loud and clear and he had a warm confidence that put us all at ease. For two hours he kept us enthralled by his deep knowledge of New Orleans and its cemetary practices, his skill at storytelling and theatrical flair. The tour ended at the Katrina Memorial a moving place made even more moving for Drew's impassioned empathy for the suffering caused by that event and the precariousness of the future.
5Even though we did this...
Even though we did this tour in the driving rain our guide managed to make it a worthwhile experience.
5Brilliant tour
Information and knowledge was outstanding Our guide Thorn was very thorough So much more than just a graveyard
5Our tour guide was Thorn....
Our tour guide was Thorn. We had such a good time. He was very knowledgeable and open to all of our group’s questions. If my family was open to it I’d love to do a ghost tour with him too 🤗
5Do it!
I loved everything about this our tour! Our guide, Thorn was an excellent resource. We really didn’t know what to expect and he exceeded any expectations we thought we had. The history is amazing. I would 10/10 recommend and I would do this tour again. Can’t say enough good things about it.

Da tactic experience - our guide was fantastic and really knowledgeable. We were the only two on the tour so it was very personal!

About New Orleans
New Orleans is the Louisiana city of jazz, Creole food and the French Quarter, set on a bend of the Mississippi River near the Gulf of Mexico.
New Orleans was founded by the French in 1718 and later ruled by Spain, and the French Quarter still shows it, with wrought-iron balconies, courtyards and Jackson Square, which St Louis Cathedral overlooks. Jazz was born here, and live music pours from clubs on Frenchmen Street. The St Charles streetcar rattles beneath oaks to the mansions of the Garden District.
Top-ranked sights in New Orleans: French Quarter, Jackson Square, LaLaurie Mansion.
