Cemetery & Gris Gris Walking Tour

Cemetary & Gris Gris Walking Tour

This tour will take you through the most haunted cemetery in New Orleans, and possibly the world.

Welcome to the 200-year-old St Louis Cemetery No 1, a legendary New Orleans cemetery known as the "City of the Dead" that serves as the burial place of notable New Orleans residents like Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. Along the tour, you'll learn about the legend of Laveau that surrounds her and her tomb, as well as the stories of others buried in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. The guide will explain the above-ground burial system in New Orleans and tombs of the different "Societies." Then you'll visit Armstrong Park and Congo Square. At the end of the tour, you'll receive your very own "gris gris" bag. To make sure you get the most out of your tour, excursions are limited to 22 passengers per tour guide.
