Loved every minute of this historical tour. The private cemetery tour and explanantions were outstanding. Jeff is very knowledgeable and was hilarious. Cory, our driver was excellent. Relaxing tour with air conditioning, ability to bring your own drinks, and a restroom/snack break at the halfway point. Highly recommend.

It was great. Very worth it! There was a lot of weird construction in the meeting spot and they called to check on us so we wouldn’t miss the bus. Very appreciated! Loved the stories. They had an EMF detector we could use. That was awesome. Convenient stops for breaks.

Ian_M, Jul 2026

Very interesting and informative tour inside one of the city’s iconic cemeteries along with a narrated bus ride. We didn’t see any ghosts, unfortunately, but was absolutely a blast and worthwhile experience.

Engaging

Thomas_G, Jul 2026

Informative and entertaining. The tour was knowledgeable and engaging. I really enjoyed during the tour at night.

Didn’t disappoint, whether you believe in the paranormal or not.

Robin_N, Jul 2026

Very cool experience! Even if you don’t believe in the paranormal, this was very educational! Jeff was the perfect guide…very informative with a great sense of humor and a love for his city! And riding in an air-conditioned bus was a plus, but we obviously still got off the bus to go into a locked cemetery that only this tour can access. Even family members have to make an appointment to gain access to visit their loved ones’ graves. Again, very cool experience!

Ghost walk

Peggy_B, Jul 2026

It was fantastic our guild was amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly. Kepted it exciting. Know how to be in control during the whole trip even with a emergency that arose with a traveler with the group.

Great Experience

jenhamby, Jul 2026

This was a fun and organized experience. Our guide knew so much and was able to answer any questions the guests had.

Dignity for the Deads

Tomoyo_U, Jul 2026

Best educational cemetery tour. Visited Odd Fellow cemetery and Charity Hospital cemetery (front gate) which are most unique ones in town. Former funeral director and a big paranomalist, Geoff’, guide, shared his deep knowledge of cemeteries in NOLA and respect to each person who rests in the cemetery. I wish the tour was longer to hear more of his story. We did 0930 tour. It was cooler in summer. Ok to bring drinks on the bus. Bathroom break in a middle. Definitely recommend. If possible, watch a movie, “Big Charity” before going to the tour.

Well worth it

Melissa_H, Jul 2026

If in New Orleans, do the cemetery 1 tour. If you’re lucky, you’ll get Mary guiding your tour. You will get a history lesson you’ll never forget.

Cemetary Tour

Melinda_H, Jul 2026

Although the tour guide was very knowledgeable the tour itself was not very exciting. Honestly, it was rather dry and uneventful.

The tour guide was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. I was expecting more from the tour we only toured one cemetery and stopped at the gate of another.

Fantastic Tour - Would Recommend

Faith_B, Jun 2026

Jeff did a wonderful job of creating a safe space for all people (believers and doubters of the paranormal) to learn, appreciate and respect the cemetery and after life culture of New Orleans. An elegant storyteller and all around great guide. Would absolutely do this tour again!

Heather_P, Jun 2026

Not what was advertised

Roxanne_Y, Jun 2026

Wasn’t what I expected. Interesting info about the graveyards but you couldn’t go in the Charity one-the most haunted, too much background in the free masons, not enough look around time and no EMF reader as advertised. The pictures shown, quickly, were totally fake.

Awesome experience

Kathy_C, Jun 2026

Bryan_W, Jun 2026

This was a very fun and informative tour. The tour guide, Jeff is an excellent guide and a gifted story teller. We would definitely go again.

Tour guide silly - cemetery amazing

ChristineEmadi, Jun 2026

Tour guide was okay. His voice is extremely quiet so it was a struggle to hear if you weren’t standing next to him. Some of his historical facts were blatantly false - a little laughable. He was a little rude to a couple of ladies who asked questions. Overall we had a good time - but I will skip this one in the future. The best thing about this tour was going inside the gorgeous Odd Fellows cemetery- so beautiful.

Very informative and...
