First we paid for a cemetery tour not to be on the outside of the cemetery not able to go in. They should have given a discount because of this. Next our tour guide James although very informative kept us in the blazing sun instead of finding shaded areas ( that were in the same place) which I thought was inconsiderate. I really thought it would be a bit more thorough but I did learn something hence the 3 stars. Please note bring an umbrella this way if you have the same tour guide you wont suffer in the heat.

Hi there-- I'm sorry to hear you did not enjoy your experience with us... we state very clearly that this tour does not enter any cemeteries due to the closure (it is owned by the Archdiocese and they have decided not open)-- we also lowered the price of this tour due to not being able to go inside. We will definitely remind James to keep to shaded areas-- thanks so much for the feedback.

Our tour guide, William, was very knowledgeable, and his enthusiasm for the history of the area was obvious. We had a great tour, and would recommend it to others wanting to learn about the early history of the Quarter.
