Saint Louis Cemetery Tour
At the scheduled time, we'll meet up on Basin Street, to begin our fantastic tour of the nearby St. Louis Cemetery. Immediately upon setting eyes on the famous New Orleans graveyard, you'll discover why this is such a special location.
Once inside, we'll marvel at the endless rows of tombs and graves rubbing shoulder to shoulder, fighting for space. This is a scene far removed from the normally well-ordered North American cemeteries. The chaos of the St. Louis cemetery, just like New Orleans itself, seems taken from a different continent and a different era.
During the guided tour, you'll see the tombs of some famous, and infamous, characters from the city's history. One of the most feared figures of New Orleans rests here, Marie Laveau. Hearing the story of this voodoo queen will surely leave your hairs standing on edge. Did you know that, despite being still alive, Nicolas Cage's tomb is here? The actor has built himself a pyramid-shaped mausoleum here as his final resting place - your guide will give you all the details on the day of your tour!
Our tour, where every tomb has a story to tell, will come to an end after 45 minutes packed with the amazing history of New Orleans.
