A propos de cette activités
The tour meets and departs from the main entrance of Armstrong Park, 801 N. Rampart Street

Our graveyards are fairly unique

We like to begin this tour by giving an explanation of colonial geography and life. It will help you to understand the reason of why we have our graveyards above the ground. You will learn the location and the fate of previous graveyards, such as Saint Peter Cemetery. The tour will pass through Congo Square and hear about the Code Noir and Voodoo. It is here that we will explain how music would play a crucial role in local funeral customs. Then, it is off to the main attraction, St. Louis Cemetery No. 1.

History, Architecture, Dead People

Once you reach the graveyard, we will explain how we entomb our dead. You will be shown several styles of tombs and explained how they work. Though out the cemetery you will also learn to identify symbols commonly associated with death. Of course, the highlight of this tour is the voodoo queen Marie Laveau's tomb. She is not the only notable from the city's past residing here. You will meet them all!

This tour will conclude outside of the Basin Street Visitors Center. 

501 Basin Street. This visitor's center has public restrooms and air-conditioning! There is also a pay parking lot available for those driving who wish to park at the end of the tour.

THIS TOUR IS LIMITED TO ONLY 15 GUESTS

The city allows tour groups of 30 to operate, but we feel that is a disservice to those on the tour. We want everyone to be able to see and hear comfortably. Operating a group limited to 15 people will provide an opportunity to interact with your guide on a level that larger groups cannot accommodate. We will let you ask questions and not give you rushed answers.

Our tour guide was very informative and kept our tour upbeat the entire walk. We don't book tours, but this one changed our mind about that. It was such good time spent on our weekend in NOLA and I would recommend it to any friends.
