Best NOLA Cemetery tour - Thorn was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and fun! We visited six cemeteries, all of different faiths, and had a history recap at the end. I would recommend this tour.

Toast is cool - Toast was a fantastic tour guide and was very respectful of the dead and living on his tour. Lots of history not only about the cemeteries but also the history of New Orleans.

Toast with the Most - Toast was a damn delight of a tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, wickedly funny and respectful of the information and locations. He took us to the well known places and off the beaten path as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Fun educational tour - Toast knows a lot about the spooky history of New Orleans. He gives out lots of fun facts to know and tell and is rather funny. Highly recommend this tour, I had a great time! Most of the tour is in direct sunlight so be aware of that. I was not and I got burned like a lobster.

Terrible Tour - This was the worst tour we have been on. The tour guide was very condescending and he talked about the Pope and politics. We stood for the first hour seeing only three grave sites. We left the tour early because it was a such an awful experience.
