We meet at our French Quarter shop located at 626 North Rampart St. Our shop is built on top of the old St. Peter Cemetery…the oldest cemetery in New Orleans. After learning about the St. Peter Cemetery and the Pool of Souls we walk a short 2.5 block to St. Louis Cemetery #1. En route we stop in front of the old mortuary chapel…one of the iconic churches that marked the farewell to many of our ancestors.Per the Archdiocese of New Orleans all participants must stay with the tour guide. Participants arent at liberty to wonder around the cemetery unsupervised. In the cemetery we will share our burial traditions, i.e. how we can fit 50 people in one small family tomb. We will also walk the cemetery and learn about some of the most important historic figures in New Orleans history.You will unavoidably recognize xs on some of the tombs. This is part of the VooDoo history and culture of our city. You will learn how New Orleans VooDooism was formed and visit the iconic tomb of Marie Laveau. Visitors to the cemetery are restricted from leaving offerings at Marie Laveaus tomb. But dont worry, we have you covered. We will give you the location of her shrine where offerings are welcome. The tour will end on the outside of the cemetery gates.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingAdult pricing applies to all travelersNot recommended for participants with heart complaints or other serious medical conditionsNot recommended for pregnant womenA moderate amount of walking is involvedDue to uneven surfaces, this tour is not recommended for those with walking disabilities or using a wheelchairNot wheelchair accessibleOperates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriatelyInclusionsAccess to a restroom at our shop.A short walk to the cemetery.A professional tour guide.ExclusionsSouvenir photos (available to purchase)Hotel drop-offHotel pickupHotel pickup and drop-offHotel pickup and drop-off (if option not selected)Transportation to/from attractionsEntrance feesGratuities (recommended)Depart
