This is a guided tour of 45 minutes duration. Cannot visit the cemetery on your own. Can purchase the tickets online or adjacent to the cemetary where the meeting place is. Best if you plan ahead and book in advance. You get a lot of historical facts, even though I did have difficulty in following the guide's narative pace. Too much information in a limited time. However, it is worth the visit.

I'm sooo glad that we booked the Graveyard tour. Absolutely fascinating and so very informative. Our tour guide Charles was a riot and just made the tour unforgettable! Well done Sir. Many thanks.

My family and I went on this tour recently. Such a historical place and our tour guide was so good at explaining the different types of burial structures in this cemetery. We learned so much about the beginnings of New Orleans. Very informative. Highly recommend.

This tour is a must-do if you are interested in NOLA history. Charles was our guide, and he delivered plenty of information with flair! Charles made sure everyone could hear him. Although it was raining on and off, it was still a great experience. I wish the tour lasted longer because it was so interesting. Too bad we could not comb every inch of this cemetery!

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.

Tour was interesting. We had previously taken the canal st. streetcar to the end to see the large cemeteries. You stroll along on your own. Interesting and we had lots of questions, ie. how they fit so many people in 1 tomb. We took this tour as it is the oldest cemetery and guided, so we would be able to ask questions. Some of our questions were answered, but mostly history/stories on the people buried there. Tour guide rude. Tour 10:45. My son went to restroom at 10:43. Made it back, plenty of time; I understand policy says tours leave on time. I simply said at 10:43, ooh, my son just went to restroom. Response, nasty, was, that's his problem. (wasn't joking btw) I'm rolling along. So that's how it started. How they fit so many in a tomb is fascinating, but I won't spoil it. I did ask how you got to be in the tomb. Did granma/granpa say you could, what if you weren't in your family's good graces, etc. Again, nasty, "family is family". Well not all families get along.....anyway....I stopped asking questions. Glad we took the tour. Was quick and we were able to get the answer we most wondered about. Worth doing.

If you can get over the fact that you're paying to walk through a cemetery (though I understand why they must charge, it was admittedly a stumbling block), the experience is worth it. The history, the culture, and the stories are all bundled together in a walking tour through the cemetery. My only complain is that the guide knew his talking points so well that he talked very fast and the tour seemed rushed. I don't think it was intentional, but I can imagine you would get bored saying the same thing all day week in and week out. Overall, however, I would recommend.

We took a tour from the Basin Street station, the only tour that goes into the cemetery and we and our teenage son all were happy we did it. Tours only during the day so this is more about education and photography not a ghost tour. We went on an early tour (9:30) and it was already hot, wear your sunscreen. Our guide Mary was really knowledgeable we could have listened to her for another 45 minutes. You could tell she knew her subject and did her homework. Plenty of opportunities for photos of the site with no one in them. Really glad we took the time to do this.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour through the St. Louis Cemetery No 1 today. I think it was mostly because of our tour guide, Will. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining, personable and engaging with everyone. The stories about the cemetery, and the people buried there, were well-told, and so interesting. Loved the little cemetery cat too! If you’re in New Orleans, this tour is well worth the money!

You must have a ticket from a tour company to get inside this cemetery. It was only $25 for a 1 hour walking tour and trust me there is so much history to cover in this small cemetery. This is the future resting place of actor Nicholas Cage and the resting place to thousands of others including the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau and Homer Plessy. A great tour, highly recommend.
