⭐ Five Stars - Truly the Most Authentic Tour We Have Ever Experienced!
To: Zelda and the entire team,
My partner and I have taken countless sightseeing tours all over the world—from historical sites in Europe to major landmarks across Asia and the Americas. Because of this, we often feel like we've "seen it all," and it's rare to be genuinely surprised by a tour's quality or depth.
However, our experience on the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 tour was a profound exception. This was, without a doubt, the most authentic and professionally informative tour we have ever taken.
The guide (and honestly, all the staff we encountered) was a true expert. The amount of detailed, well-researched information we received was exceptional, covering not just the famous figures like Marie Laveau, but the history of New Orleans' unique burial customs, architecture, and the broader social context.
What made it stand out was the authentic manner in which the information was delivered—it was respectful, historically accurate, and felt like a genuine conversation with a local historian, not a rehearsed script. It was a professional masterclass in storytelling that brought centuries of history to life.
If you are looking for a tour that goes far beyond the surface level, even if you are an experienced traveler, we cannot recommend this highly enough. This is an absolute must-do in New Orleans.
