If I could give this a lower review, I would! I feel good that the money goes to the right place, a nonprofit org. however, they need to do better with their material! The gift of gris gris was nice but our tour guide was terrible, super boring, we left our group to wonder on our own, then they left us! So, I basically paid over $50 for a free ride of a couple of blocks, to a place I could have walked to on my own, and gotten the exact same amount of information. SAVE YOUR MONEY, GO WITH YOUR OWN GROUP, BRING A BOOK ABOUT THE CEMETERY, EDUCATE YOURSELF! Then, donate to the foundation for the upkeep, although, not really sure what they're upkeeping...eeek. Waste of money
Always wnated to see the tomb of voodoo queen Marie Laveau as well as where the infamous sceen from the movie "Easy Rider" was filmed. Good fun and very interesting.
This is a great start to the history of New Orleans, Our guide (Pat) told the stories of the people who "live" there in a way that made them come alive...even telling us the scandal and gossip of their day. Especially interesting were the customs and rituals of the era and how it has translated to today. No feeling of being rushed through, yet Pat kept us moving. This tour is a MUST.
