We took the Cemetery Tour with Ghost City and had a great time! It was very hot the day we went, so bring water. But, even the sun couldn't keep us from enjoying this amazing cemetery!

My girlfriend only wanted one thing in New Orleans and that was to see Maria Laveau's grave. We're thankful to our guide who made sure we got to spend extra time there so she could get the pictures she wanted. Our Guide John was very knowledgeable about the cemetery and made this the perfect experience.

I took my 2 boys on the guided cemetery tour while in New Orleans. I was worried they might be bored, but they weren't. Our Guide, who's name I forget, was amazing with everyone in the group. She involved my boys into the stories and they had a great time. I highly recommend this tour.
Maggie J 5Our New Orleans Cemetery Tour starts in front of the Mardi Gras Museum of Costumes & Culture, which is located at 1010 Conti St, in the French Quarter. THIS TOUR DOES NOT START AT THE CEMETERY. Your Tour Guide will be waiting for you directly in front of the Museum.
If you are running late or need additional directions, please call our office toll-free at 855-999-9026.
Parking in the French Quarter is at a premium. While you can take a chance and try for on-street parking, we highly suggest that you walk to the starting location of Cemetery Tour. The Mardi Gras Museum of Costumes & Culture and the cemetery are a quick 10-minute walk from almost anywhere in the French Quarter. You can also take a cab or a pedicab.
