Cemetery & Garden District Tour

First, we’ll take a walk through New Orleans’ historic Lafayette Cemetery and talk about our unique burial practices, famous locals interred here, and our strong French and Catholic influence. We’ll even discover the film locations of Hollywood blockbusters such as Interview with the Vampire and Double Jeopardy!

Then take a few minutes to get out of the sun and grab something to drink on our mid-tour break. Next, we’ll stroll through the gorgeous Garden District where we might catch a glimpse of a celebrity! The beautiful antebellum homes will take your breath away, and the stories that accompany them are always entertaining and sometimes even shocking.

Our goal is to provide a higher quality tour experience than you will get elsewhere, with small groups, full costumes, and fun extras, including the use of a ghost meter, a take-home French Quarter map with places to go and things to do, a take-home Polaroid picture of your group, plus a chance to win a NOLA voodoo doll!

This adventure is operated by Spectral City Tours

Frequently Asked Questions

Cemetery tours are popular in New Orleans because cemeteries here are unlike most cemeteries in the U.S. Many of the departed are buried above ground in tombs that range from simple to ornate. Plus, these sites are reportedly haunted, making cemeteries all the more popular with ghost hunters.

There are some cemeteries you can visit on your own. Others, such as St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, can only be viewed on an official tour. It's a good idea to find out whether your cemetery requires a tour guide before your visit; call the cemetery or speak with your hotel's concierge.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is the most famous cemetery in the city. In part, this is because of the numerous important figures buried here. It's also the oldest existing cemetery in New Orleans; in fact, people are still laid to rest here each year.

Voodoo practitioner Marie Laveau, activist Homer Plessy, writer Anne Rice and Popeyes founder Al Copeland are just a few of the celebrities buried in the most famous cemeteries in New Orleans. There are other famous individuals (such as politician Huey Long and musician Fats Domino) who are buried in other sites around the city. Actor Nicolas Cage will also be buried here; he has already built a pyramid tomb for himself in St. Louis Cemetery No 1.

Absolutely wonderful walking tour. Our tour guide, Jackie Bullock went out of her way to take us off the beaten path and show us all of the hidden gems around the beautiful garden district. Her knowledge and insight was impressive. Jackie was warm and friendly, and took the time to answer all of our questions, and provide helpful recommendations during our trip, making our visit to new Orleans that much better. I can’t say enough good about this tour. Jackie also made sure to text us the night before with helpful reminders and clear instructions on where to meet her the next morning seeing lost people looking for their tour guide is a common sight around town. When they say small group tour they mean it. This tour consisted of just our guide, my wife Casandra and myself, so it was super intimate. We met Jackie at a wonderful boutique coffee shop to start our tour. We then were taken through Lafayette Cemetery, where she pointed out spots that movies like Interview with a vampire, and Double jeopardy were filmed. She also gave unique histories of the cemetery itself, and those buried within it’s walls. We learned about the customs, and significance of many of the structures. After that we got a tour of the garden district. Jackie pointed out historically significant structures, as well as the actual homes of the so many celebrities that live in the area. We learned about the history of the area, and the myriad of architectural influences of the magnificent homes. By the time we were done, although we came all the way from Canada, we felt like family. So much history, so much beauty. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Best walking tour I have ever been on.
