Itinerary
  1. Stops at: St. Louis Cemetery No. 3
    Our experienced guide will meet you at the gate of the cemetery and walk with you through the cemetery. Along the way we will explain about the people buried there and the unique but macabre ways we bury them and why. We will explore the graves together and give you time to walk around on your own before walking to the beautiful Bayou St John, the waterway to the past.
    Duration: 90 minutes
  2. Passes by: Bayou St. John
    See the beautiful Bayou St John that is considered to be the back door to the city via the water way. This is where the Spanish Customs House is as well as where Voodoo celebrations are held.
  3. Passes by: New Orleans City Park
    New Orleans City Park is just steps away from your tour. The park is twice the size of Central Park and a lovely place to visit before or after your tour.
