Well worth the time and $

They were easy to communicate with and starting our day on a tour was a great way to see and understand more about the city layout and history. Fun tidbits, and our guide was very personable, and knowledgeable! I would imagine the tour is even better when the cemetery is open, but they did a great job of showing pictures of the interior.

Meh, no access

The tour offering is not true to the write up. There is no admittance into the cemetery, we were allowed to stand outside and see pictures on our guide's phone. I went back to re-read the tour offering and confirmed with others on the tour, we all thought we would be able to go inside. I understand it may be closed due to COVID-19, but that should have been stated in the summary of what is included. The guide was knowledgeable, but my first impression was not a good one. There was no formal introduction and we meet in front of an empty for rent space. The whole package left me feeling like I lost two hours I couldn't get back.

Unfortunately, the Archdiocese has closed the cemetery, due to the pandemic. This is a one hour tour, did you go with our company? It is in the description, when you book your tour. A lot of people are missing this fact, so your guide reiterated, before the tour. We want everyone to fully understand they may take the modified tour or receive a full refund. We appreciate your support during this pandemic and hope to see you in the future, when the cemetery reopens. Thank you for your review.

I didn't realize we weren't going inside the cemetery, otherwise it would have been better rating. I understand pandemic restrictions but it's not like the occupants are at risk....

A lot of talk about the houses, was cool but pretty long. Would have rather went to a cemetery that was open instead of stand outside a closed one.

It was a great tour and Jamie was awesome. I wish when we booked it was stated we wouldn't go inside the cemetery (the overview has now been updated) and they need to change the meeting point. Me and my grandma kept going in circles until I contacted them and they stated the great London frog was no longer there. Other than that it was great

We have not only changed the description on the booking sites, but have text each and every person and disclosed again at the tour that the cemetery is closed due to COVID-19. It is up to the customer whether they go on the tour. We continue to tour the outside of the cemetery & give its history. We have also added more French Quarter history to this tour. 710 St. Louis St. is still the meeting address. Unfortunately, the Great Frog London did not survive COVID, but the meeting place is still the same. We thank you for your business.

Great tour! Jamie was awesome and informative. However, when booking we were unaware that we wouldn't be able to go into the cemetery (they change the overview so now it reflects that change). Besides that Jamie made it fun and told alot of history. Highly recommend.

Our tour guide, Mikko, was great. He was knowledgeable and funny. However, we purchased a tour of the cemetery which the Archdiocese has closed. You knew it was closed, they revoked your tour license but you are selling tickets anyway. Very unethical.

Wait, what? Our licenses are NOT revoked! We are all fully licensed by the city of New Orleans! Where did you EVER get that idea? The cemetery is simply closed, due to COVID and we, as a company, made the decision to revamp the tour so you may see the cemetery from the outside and the entrances. All the history was given and full disclosure was made before departure, with the choice to go or receive a refund. Our guides need to work and being open is for them and our guests. Thank you for your review.
