Fact Packed Fun
This tour was a lot of fun first thing in the morning. It is walkable from the French Quarter, they have a beautiful bar, beautiful bathrooms, and an interesting building to explore before/ after the tour. Our tour guide was also super hot and really funny and fun to chat with. I forget his name unfortunately, but he was great. The entire building staff was also very friendly. They even offered us an earlier spot because we arrived early. The price for the tour itself might seem high, but if you keep in mind that the tickets help keep the Graveyard clean and also help with repairs it's well worth it. I learned so much!! I would absolutely recommend this and it is also very easy to book other tours for the same day because it is so close to many things and the tour is short.

Great Tour of St Louis Cemetery No 1
My wife and I visited St. Louis Cemetery No 1 during a recent stay in the city. Earlier, we had learned that Lafayette Cemetery No 1 is temporarily closed for repairs so decided to visit the oldest cemetery in the city. You cannot walk through unguided so we paid the fee and joined a small tour group of about a dozen people. The most important aspect of a successful tour is a great tour guide, and our guide, Denise, was a good storyteller, and she was knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. We had a wonderful tour, and our guide had everything to do with it.
