Christmas Eve Cemetery Tour - Zelda was a great guide through the cemetery. We enjoyed learning the history. It would be great to be able to see a little more of the cemetery

Ask for Zelda! - Zelda is delightful--so funny and energetic! We travel a lot--about six months of the year total--and we can attest that boring, disinterested, lethargic guides can make even the most intriguing sites disappointing That is not the case with Zelda!

Fun, informative tour! - We learned SO much on this tour!! One of the most important things was that you don’t check in at the cemetery itself, but the Basin St. Station. They’ll print out your tickets and give you a wristband.

A Brilliant Experience! - A brilliant tour from our guide Ritchie! He was more than accommodating and welcomed any and all questions throughout the tour. His information was very engaging and provoking, making the entire group eager to hear the next story. He was also consistently offering more tales, recommendations, and tid bits of information to help fellow tourists along their way. Easily one of the best led tour (and guides) I’ve had in New Orleans yet!
