Spend about 45 minutes inside New Orleans’ oldest cemetery with a locally licensed guide.

That being said, it's a wonderful, historic tour of the oldest Catholic cemetery in New Orleans. Our tour guide, Alan, gave a wonderful and knowledgeable tour of the grounds and history of the cemetery. However, it is no longer open to the public (unless one has family interred there), and tour guests do not have the ability to wander freely in the…”
