Good information for a reasonable price

Great amount of history and interesting tid bits of information. It was unfortunate that the cemetery was closed to majority of the public. I feel they could have been more upfront before the tour but I appreciated our tour guide explaining the situation before we got started. Even without the cemetery our tour guide kept the group very engaged.

Unfortunately, the Archdiocese has closed the cemetery, due to the pandemic. It is in the description, when you book your tour, as well as the email confirmation. A lot of people are missing this fact, so your guide reiterated, before the tour. We want everyone to fully understand they may take the modified tour or receive a full refund. We appreciate your support during this pandemic and hope to see you in the future, when the cemetery reopens. Thank you for your review.

Casey was terrific. We learned a lot about the French Quarter, why the above ground gravesites were used. Even some rumors. St. Louis #1 was great to see and learning the history of it.

They were easy to communicate with and starting our day on a tour was a great way to see and understand more about the city layout and history. Fun tidbits, and our guide was very personable, and knowledgeable! I would imagine the tour is even better when the cemetery is open, but they did a great job of showing pictures of the interior.

The tour offering is not true to the write up. There is no admittance into the cemetery, we were allowed to stand outside and see pictures on our guide's phone. I went back to re-read the tour offering and confirmed with others on the tour, we all thought we would be able to go inside. I understand it may be closed due to COVID-19, but that should have been stated in the summary of what is included. The guide was knowledgeable, but my first impression was not a good one. There was no formal introduction and we meet in front of an empty for rent space. The whole package left me feeling like I lost two hours I couldn't get back.

Unfortunately, the Archdiocese has closed the cemetery, due to the pandemic. This is a one hour tour, did you go with our company? It is in the description, when you book your tour. A lot of people are missing this fact, so your guide reiterated, before the tour. We want everyone to fully understand they may take the modified tour or receive a full refund.

I didn't realize we weren't going inside the cemetery, otherwise it would have been better rating. I understand pandemic restrictions but it's not like the occupants are at risk....
