About this activity

Your 40-minute walking tour within the gates of St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is led by an experienced, licensed guide who will accompany you throughout your exploration of the city's oldest active burial site. You'll see the tombs of famous New Orleaneans like Voodoo Priestess Marie Laveau, the future resting place of actor Nicholas Cage, world renown chess champion Paul Morphy and some of the greatest jazz pioneers to grace our city.

Your guide will bring you through the maze of tightly assembled tombs, which hold the remains of some of the city’s important historical figures. You'll also learn why New Orleans had to bury its dead above ground. Your tour cost includes the fees charged by the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
