Description

Allow your local guide to walk you through the magic of the French Quarter on this French Quarter, Cemetery, and Voodoo tour. Get lost in the history of New Orleans Voodoo, culture, history, and architecture.

St. Louis Cemetery #1, New Orleans’ oldest, continuously operated above ground Catholic cemetery is the highlight of our 3-in-1 walking tour. Learn about the unique interment process, burial practices, and visit tombs of historical importance, including the tomb and purported final resting place of our famous Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau.

You will get all of this and more on this French Quarter, Cemetery and Voodoo Walking Tour.

PLEASE NOTE: St. Louis Cemetery #1 is still closed to the public due to systemic cemetery closures by the Archdiocese of New Orleans. We do not enter St. Louis #1 on this tour.

As the tour heads toward the cemetery, unique facts regarding New Orleans customs, traditions, architecture and superstitions will be discussed. A brief break at the Basin Street Visitor’s Center will give you a chance to catch your breath and digest the wealth of information you learned the first half of your tour.

Continuing on, you will delve into the deep history of Voodoo and then conclude the tour at Congo Square, located in picturesque Louis Armstrong Park.

We did the VIP tour which was about a 90 min tour around the French quarter. We learned so much and even mu husband (who hates spooky things) found it educational and fun! Chris is both informative and hilarious, and even gave us a great recommendation for dinner at Muriel’s (which was also fantastic).
