Completely worth it - Our tour guide was amazing, she was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She had us laughing the whole time making jokes to make everyone feel comfortable. We were able to go everywhere we wanted and learned a little bit of everything. The bus’ ac sucked and we were dying of heat but we made the best of it. If you want to hear a little bit about history about Louisiana, history of voodoo and history of Mardi Gras then this tour is for you and Caroline was amazing you will love her!

Great tour! - We loved it, our tour guide was fantastic. I don’t remember her name but she was short, dressed all in black, wearing a black witch hat with a veil and super long nails. She had wonderful stories and made the tour a great experience. Loved the ghost monitors, they were a lot of fun. Loved learning about how the cemeteries in NOLA are structured!

A little of NOLA History 2024 - My goal each year is to go to a different state, and am I ever glad to have finally made it to New Orleans, LA! This trip was amazing, as our guide turned out to be born, raised and schooled in the state, as well as a history buff!! Learning about the Catholic cemeteries and use of center medians is something o will never forge…! Thank you for the history lesson!

Great First Day in Town Experience! - This tour is a great introduction to New Orleans, and an easy way to visit #3 Cemetery. I toured with my 3 teen grandkids, who found it really helpful to get an overview of New Orleans on our first full day in town. We appreciated that there were only 12-13 other people on the tour, so it was easy to hear the tour guide speak.

Worth It - The guide was so informative. It was obvious that Wes loves his city and loves his job. We were allowed to visit a private cemetery with open tombs (they were empty) that made it so much easier to understand the burial process. But Wes’s knowledge wasn’t limited to cemeteries. He explained the different types of architecture in the different parts of town and why the green house is falling down. 10 out 10 would recommend.

Best City Tour Around! - This great tour gave us a really good overview of the city and it's various neighborhoods, history, and the cemetery tour was great on top of it. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and a fantastic storyteller. Loved the whole experience. I've gone on numerous tours over the years, and this is the one I will recommend to friends from now on!
