Very interesting and informative tour about the culture and history of the cemetery locations and relocations. Some relocations were intentional others were not due to the water levels. The tour of the cemetery was crowded. We kept moving through with stops for commentary on certain graves of interest or why some were totally falling apart and others were maintained. Our tour guide was Ari. She spoke clearly and made sure everyone was together and could hear her and answered questions. The tour group was about 25 people. We left from Saint Peters street and walked to the cemetery and through the section of French quarter that the cemetery was located in first. We also stopped in Louis Armstrong park and heard some history about that location. Great tour and tour guide Ari!!!!

Interesting tour of St Louis Cemetery #1. Specially enjoyed the history from our brilliant guide Stella who makes the difference from other guides by her way of making the history lesson fun.

By far one of the highlights of the trip. Our tour guide Ari was AMAZING!! A wonderful storyteller, she had a way of making everything sound so interesting. Of course, the tour content was fascinating too. A nice mix of history of the area before taking a pit stop at a visitor center for refreshments and restrooms.. and then it was on to the actual cemetery. The cemetery was a bit crowded with tour groups, but everyone was polite and allowed groups to pass by or take their turns at certain spots. There are a lot of photo opportunities on this tour as well. We lucked out with cooler weather, but be warned that the cemetery can get HOT even on an already hot day. Would absolutely recommend this company for tours, and request Ari if you can!!
