Learnt alot about New Oleans cemeteries. The history and how they are allocated and the ownership of the burial tombs . Very informative guide Fran, made the tour .
Our tour guide was great! We had trouble locating our hotel so we were about 45 minutes late. She was very understanding. Most of the other people touring were in large groups but it was only us in ours so it was a more personal experience. Would highly recommend this tour!
Our tour guide Fran was amazing and well informed. She texted us with info on meeting including what she was wearing and even invited us to a longer session if we so desired. Very interesting tour and highly recommended.
