When we saw the Haunted History Cemetery Tour, we knew we had to go. It is one of the only ways to enter Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1 and what better way to see it than by adding the Haunted History of it. Since there were so many people signed up for the tour, we split into two groups with two different tour guides. Fortunately, we got the best guide of all time, Gabriel. On most tours, you walk around town, listening to someone recite memorized information and telling stories in monotone voices. Gabriel was such a character and had an animated essence to him that throughout the entire 2 hour tour, he captured every ounce of my focus; which is really hard to do. He would act out events with voices and actions as if we were living in that particular time period. One minute, he would have to entire group invested in a serious and mystical story and the next minute, he had everyone laughing. There is nothing I enjoy more than someone who can tell you something very serious but crack a joke to keep things lighthearted. During our walk in the cemetery, we would hear other guides talking to their groups and we would look at each other and say, "Our guide is so much better." There was just something about Gabriel that makes you want the tour to go on all day long. Another things that I really appreciated was Gabriel's respect, not only for those in his group, but also the other groups around us. We would slowly pass a tomb and he would tell us to remember it. Then, he would lead us a couple of feet away from the grave to tell use the story and folklore without crowding the landmark and preventing other people from being able to see. All of the other groups would huddle around the tombs and we weren't able to see. That just adds to how great of a guide he is. All in all, the Haunted History Cemetery Tour is a must do if you want to learn the history of New Orleans as it pertains to the dead and Catholicism vs Voodooism. I must strongly stress that having Gabriel as your guide will make your experience so fun, enjoyable, and breathtaking that you won't be able to stop talking about it.
