Jamie was so incredibly knowledgable not only about the St. Louis #3 cemetery, but about all of New Orleans. I would definitely do another tour with her. Delightful!

Our tour guide, Jamie, was excellent. She toured us through the cemetery telling us stories of the families buried there. We heard about the famous and the infamous, the saints and the sinners. We learned a lot of New Orleans history and culture in our tour. We also toured the Pieto mansion which was equally interesting and informative.
