Unfortunately, the Archdiocese closed the cemetery, due to the pandemic. It is in the description, when you book your tour, as well as the email confirmation. A lot of people are missing this fact, not reading the entire description, so your guide has been instructed to reiterate, before the tour. We want everyone to fully understand they may take the modified tour or receive a full refund. If you chose a refund, it has been processed. It does appear that you chose to take the tour, with knowledge of closure. We appreciate your support during this pandemic, and hope to see you in the future, when the cemetery reopens or for other tours. Thank you for your review. We appreciate your business.

The tour guide had good knowledge about the cemeteries around the French Quarters but lacked charisma. Although we aren’t allowed in the cemetery due to Covid, there is enough technology that can be used to view the cemetery from the outside but they lack creativity of doing so.

Informative Tour of the City
lisa_b
, Aug 2021
This was a very informative tour with a lot of information about the city. Was very surprised by some of the things we learned. The tour guide was knowledgeable and was considerate of the heat. The biggest disappointment was that we could not go into the cemetery. Was told that it stated that when we purchased the ticket, but I’m sure it was not. So just beware.

Zero stars as no one showed up to do the tour!!! We waited and no one was there. We were there 15 minutes before, the door to that building with the sign in front was locked. No one ever showed up. We left at 9:35 as we were pretty angry that no one showed up. I want my money back!

Bait and switch with no refund
Michael_W
, Jul 2021
Bait and switch. We called and specifically asked if the one hour cemetery tour would take us inside the cemetery. We were clearly told yes it be inside the cemetery by Irene. We then hung up and booked online as Irene was going to charge $10 more than what online pricing stated. Any and all following emails regarding the tour stated ‘modified’ tour but at NO TIME did it ever state that you wouldn’t be entering the cemetery. We checked in 15 minutes prior to the tour start and only at the start of the tour did the guide mention that we wouldn’t be going inside the cemetery. Every party looked around in shock. So clearly it wasn’t just us that didn’t know that! We didn’t go with the tour at all, neither did at least one other couple. Upon returning to our accommodation, we sent a message to Viator respectfully requesting a refund. We were denied a refund by Tamara. Don’t bother going on this tour. You won’t get what you’re paying for and you won’t get a refund either.

Thank you for your review. There is no one working at this company, named Irene, therefore one from this company told you the cemetery was open. It is very clearly stated on ALL booking platforms, that the cemetery remains closed, due to COVID. Your guide reiterated, at the beginning of the tour, and you were given the option to take the modified tour or obtain a full refund. You opted to take the tour, therefore, no refund is available. The other 13 guests did join the tour. You say (above) you did not go on the tour, but you were checked in, by the guide, and at no time did you tell me (or the guide) you were leaving/left the tour. I will further investigate this matter.

We were a little disappointed. We could barely hear our guide. The cemetery was closed due to Covid which was not clearly stated on the site. I’m sure if you book once everything is re-opened you may have a better experience

Thank you for your review. It is clearly stated on ALL booking platforms & your email confirmation, that the cemetery remains closed, due to COVID & this is a modified tour. It is also reiterated, at the beginning of the tour, with the option to take the modified tour or obtain a full refund. You chose to take the tour. It will be mentioned to all guides to speak louder & we appreciate you informing us. We all anxiously await the cemetery reopening! Please visit us again!

Casey was great! Naturally it started raining right in the middle of our tour, but he kept on like a champ after we all agreed to keep going! We learned some cool facts about Nola cemeteries, their history, Hollywood dramatizations and he brought along pictures to show us what the inside of the cemeteries look like since they are currently closed off to the public.

Olivia_H

Great amount of history and interesting tid bits of information. It was unfortunate that the cemetery was closed to majority of the public. I feel they could have been more upfront before the tour but I appreciated our tour guide explaining the situation before we got started. Even without the cemetery our tour guide kept the group very engaged.
