Wonderful tour of St. Louis Cemetery #1

Amy_M, Oct 2025
It was so refreshing to have a tour of St. Louis #1 that wasn’t “spooky”, but respectful and based on historical fact. Because our guide, Mary, has family roots in NOLA since it was established, she was incredibly knowledgeable and generous with her storytelling.

Mary was an excellent guide and we enjoyed the tour very much. Her family’s personal connection to many in the cemetery made for interesting stories and history.

Matthew_K, Aug 2025
This was a pretty cool tour. It was awesome for it to be at night because it was definitely cooler than during the day.
We saw some cool tombs and learned some things about the cemetery that we didn't know. It was really a cool experience.

Tour guide talked to fast a we could hardly understand what he was saying. Expected it to be a little scary because we did the night tour but it was not. Whole tour felt rushed.
