This nonprofit organization runs exceptional cemetery tours led by passionate, knowledgeable guides who clearly love what they do. Glenn gets mentioned repeatedly for his wealth of historical knowledge, personal stories as a New Orleans native, and thoughtful touches like keeping groups in the shade and bringing water. Dana, Liz, Jamie, and Gary also receive glowing praise for their expertise and engaging storytelling. Tours typically last around two hours and cover far more than just famous residents—expect to learn about architectural styles, burial traditions, New Orleans history, and the fascinating personalities who shaped the city. The tours support actual cemetery preservation work, which many visitors specifically appreciate. Groups visit various locations including St. Louis #3 and the sprawling 127-acre Metairie Cemetery, where having a guide helps you navigate the highlights rather than wandering lost. Most reviewers describe the experience as informative, fun, and easy walking with shade considerations. One guest felt the tour ran a bit long with less room for interaction, but this seems to be an outlier. Private tours are available and reasonably priced for small groups, with guides accommodating mobility needs and scheduling requests.
We had a wonderful time on our tour of Metairie Cemetery with Glenn! The tour was informative, fun, and really interesting. Glenn made us laugh while teaching us lots of great New Orleans knowledge mixed in with history of the cemetery itself. It was also a beautiful walk through a part of New Orleans we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. Highly recommend!
