What To Expect

City Park

City Park is as magical and unique as the city of New Orleans. The 1,300-acre outdoor oasis has enchanted New Orleanians since 1854, making it one of the nation’s oldest urban parks. Each year, millions of visitors stroll under the same historic oaks and picturesque moss canopies that served as the backdrop for dances, concerts and even gentlemanly duels or “affaires d’honneur” for generations.

Hurricane Katrina Memorial

On the former site of Charity Hospital’s paupers’ field, this ominous but oddly affecting circle of tombs holds the bodies of 85 unclaimed victims of the 2005 levee failures and the names of others who perished. It’s an unfussy place that’s easily missed, the better for contemplative solitude, perhaps. Surrounded by a storm-shaped series of pathways, the memorial does its duty in giving one substantial pause.

This was a fun tour. Went to a few cemeteries to explore. The tour guide offered some history about the cemeteries. The best part was the stories he shared while in the ride. Creepy stuff....made it fun.

Not what we expected. No real ghost stories, and just some facts about the cemetery. Nice night though and comfortable bus.

The BYOB Cemetery bus tour was one of the highlights of my New Orleans trip. The bus was clean and fresh, and the pickup and drop off was easy. I loved the whole vibe, the education our tour guide provided and her humor. I just wish we could visit maybe one more cemetery. We only went to two and the time flew by. However, the one snag was the woman who checked us in she was definitely a little rude. I had my virtual tickets ready which I had to confirm that day with a phone call and download. I showed her the barcode and she waved me off and asked for my last name. No hello, no explanation, not even eye contact so I just looked at her and it seemed she realized she came off rude and said she can’t see “those things.” Aside from this first and only issue it was a great experience.
