The tour was overall a good experience! Our tour guide was great, nice AC on the bus! Use of the EMF readers was a fun bonus I haven’t seen on other tours. Enjoyed the walk and tour through the old fellows rest cemetery. I do think it’s very important to note that you do not actually go through the Charity Hospital cemetery or see the Katrina memorial up close, it’s truly standing outside of the gate.

One Cemetery & sir conditioning

This was a Cemetery tour and we were allowed to walk an old cemetery and approach the gates of a second. We did stop at a small place with chess boards which had coffee, beignets, etc. I ordered beignets and a mango freeze. That was described as a frozen drink. It was not a drink. It was an orange colored frozen wasteland in a small cup. I mentioned it to the sales clerk who didnt say a word, nothing to make it right just handed me a bag with the beignets that were more like rocks. The tour company receives a cut as another man was writing down items that were purchased by the tour group. . I dont know if it was mango or not as I never got to try it. You know how hot it is but this item did not melt 2 hours later. My companion thought I was joking until i gave him the cup to squeeze. I finally threw it away as I tired of waiting for it to melt. The tour guide was really great, keeping the narrative going, the driver also great, we didn't run red lights and were not involved in any accidents.
