Drew was a great tour guide! Loved learning about all the history about New Orleans, the dead and undead. Super insightful!
Fantastic tour, guide was very informative and had a great knowledge of the history of New Orleans as well as facts of cemetery tour. Would recommend
Great tour, highly recommend anyone visiting New Orleans to book this one. Super enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide. Great value for money
Great tour experience with Vee. We had a good time and saw so much. Learned a lot of new things along the way, too!
Our guide was amazing! So knowledgeable & we learned so much. There are many cemeteries covered. Highly recommend.
Our tour covered several different cemeteries. These were lesser well known and not as interesting as others I had visited. I also felt the group was too large.
We really wanted the St Louis Cemetery tour, but it was booked, so we decided to try this. Christian was a delightful tour guide, and we learned so much history and culture. The total walking was right around a mile on my smart watch. Easy pace.
Amazing tour! We had a wonderful experience. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Everything was well organized, and we had so much fun. Highly recommended!
This was a fascinating tour with a lot of very interesting history. Thorn was very knowledgeable and also entertaining.
The cemetery tour was wonderful. Great history and information. Christian was a great tour guide. We loved it!
Tour guide was great, and did a really good job of putting the history of the cemeteries into context with the history of New Orleans.
Great tour. Super informative.
The guide had a lot of knowledge about New Orleans, the cemetery and the history of New Orleans. Very courteous and friendly
Our tour guide was amazing. There was laughter there were jaw-dropping moments from history that he shared. I highly recommend this as a Solo Traveler or family
Very informative walking tour about the burial practices and history of cemetaries in New Orleans. Our guide was knowledgeable and mixed in anecdotal stories and some humor to keep the subject matter interesting and light. This tour is less about visiting the large ornate tombs (although we did see beautiful ones) and more about educating visitors about the history and practices. We learned a lot from this tour...it was great! Be advised, no matter what tour or cemetery you visit, these are out in the open with little shade Wear sunscreen, bring water, and wear comfortable shoes...its worth the visit!
Thorn was very intense & informative. Great wealth of knowledge he shared w/us. Very interesting . Great way to get an understanding of the burial practices in NO.
Rode the trolley to the end of the line where we net our guide Thorn. Had a very informative tour. He is involved in the community and passionate about the history as well as current state of the local cemetaries.
Very informative. Guide was great, very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He also has a great sense of humor which always makes everything better. We had no idea there was so much history here. So glad we did this tour!
Our tour guide was Thorn and he was awesome! It was a great tour and very informative on the history behind each cemetery/graveyard!
Thorn was very informative and easy to hear and understand. Overall great experience. I would recommend to anyone of any age
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.
Even though we did this tour in the driving rain our guide managed to make it a worthwhile experience.
Information and knowledge was outstanding Our guide Thorn was very thorough So much more than just a graveyard
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 🤗
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!
This was the most informative and captivating tour I’ve ever been on! Our guide, Thorne, was so knowledgeable and articulate. He held our attention for the entire tour and we learned so much about the burial practices and history of New Orleans! We highly recommend this tour! I would even do it again myself!
I found this very interesting and I really liked it. If you’re on the fence I totally recommend you take this tour. It is 45-1 hr. They run 100% on time. Easy walk from bourbon French quarter area. Bring an umbrella and water.
Darren was a great guide and taught us so much about the history of NOLA itself, not just the cemeteries…great tour even with a little rain. Would go again!
Great guide who clearly knows his subject and cares to learn more. Great way to learn about the past and present of this amazing city.
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!
Awesome experience! Very knowledgeable guide!
Amazing and very interesting. The gentleman tour guide was very knowledgeable and and up to date with info.
The Cemetary Tour was really interesting, great value for money and super informative. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and great fun. He really brought the tour to life (excuse the pun!). Highly recommended.
This was a great and extremely informative tour. Wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk. Drew has a wealth of knowledge about the cemeteries, traditions, New Orleans and things that you may have been told that are not accurate. He delivers the information with passion, conviction and some humor. He stays fully engaged with the group. He shows how he feels about the cemeteries by picking up some random trash that someone disrespectfuly left. That days it all. The tour winds up at the Katrina Memorial which is powerful.
Thorn gave an awesome tour. Very informative and interesting. Highly recommend this tour.
Our tour guide, Thorn, was excellent . He was very knowledgeable . I learned so much information. I would recommend taking a tour with Thor for the graveyard cemetery. I really enjoyed listening to him and I really learned a lot about the history of New Orleans outstanding thank you
Thorn was a great storyteller and the tour had way more than I expected. Great experience! I chose it to be able to enter a cemetery but we explored many and learned about traditions and how people had to adjust.
Thorn was great. Very professional, and shared a lot of knowledge. 10/10 would walk again.
Thorn gave us a great tour. learned so much.
The tour was great! Thorn was great! He is very knowledgeable and a great guide! However, DO NOT BOOK WITH SPUR EXPERIENCES. We recieved the tour as a wedding gift. It was paid as adult admission but the third party service booked us under "infant" tickets and might not have paid the full price to the Haunted History Tours
