Cemetery is presently closed by the city, so we'll talk about its history and see the tombs from the gate. First, take a walk through New Orleans' historic Lafayette Cemetery and learn about the founding of our city, our unique burial practices, famous locals interred here, and our strong French and Catholic influence. You'll even discover the film locations of Hollywood blockbusters such as Interview with the Vampire and Double Jeopardy, both of which had iconic scenes filmed here!

Excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable!

Published on Apr, 2024

We had a great tour with Josh, he’s an excellent guide with a deep knowledge of New Orleans history and current politics. It was a small tour of just the three of us which was perfect since my mom has difficulty hearing, so she was able to hear everything clearly. Josh answered my many questions and even recommended some good books! Highly recommend.
