Brie, our tour guide, was great. She’s a great speaker and her personality made it very easy and fun to listen to her. Her knowledge of the cemetery and New Orleans history was impressive. You can tell she’s studied up on it. She did tend to go off on tangents sometimes, which made the tour a bit longer, in turn making us late for our next plans, but we still appreciated the knowledge she shared. As a side note, for the tours in general, the fact of how many tour groups they allow in there at the same time is distracting. At some points you can hear multiple tours at the same time, and it takes away from the experience a bit, to no fault of Brie’s. If it’s within the same company though, I would space them out more. With all that said, definitely worth the time and money!

Mikko, our guide, was great. Really enjoy the tour and I recomand it. It is half price compare with the tours that you can take only for the cemetery and 100% better.

Can not even begin to say how much we enjoyed this tour. Mikko was funny, charming, unbelievably informative. The man knows New Orleans and obviously loves what he does. Was the highlight of our New Orleans trip. Would recommend without hesitation. I will go back every time I am in the Big Easy!!

Guide was very good- friendly, informative and fun. Cemetery wasn’t quite what I had imagined. Tombs were very close together. Some were very run down, others very elaborate- the guide explained why very well. Length of tour was just right. Felt a little bit bad at the end as we had not realised we didn’t have any smaller notes to give as a tip- apologies for that.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the cemetery and events associated with it.
An informative experience that wasn't over expensive.
I recommend this tour to anyone who has an hour or so to spare. -

This was a very interesting tour. So many questions that you may not have even known you had were answered. Our guide shared fascinating histories/back stories of many who were resting there eternally. The artwork and archetecture of some of these crypts was really quite lovely. I’m definitely glad that I booked this tour.

It was o.k. the meeting place should be changed, must have been garbage day. Guide had some interesting stories. It was a bit fast. May consider taking combo tour.
