Wonderful guide and driver. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a great experience. Would recommend to anyone who would like to learn more about New Orleans besides the normal sites.

We caught a photo of a ghost 👻

What better than to spend a night in the graveyard with other ghost hunters and our tour guide Geoff at the cemetery on a Saturday night. We were looking for ghosts and chased the paranormal. My wife watches a lot of those kinds of ghost shows and this time we got one of those emf readers along the guidance to be in touch with the paranormal. Our guide Geoff was the real deal. And you could tell. His stories he told… the authenticity of his knowledge and the way he talked about the subject, you knew he had been involved with the super natural for years. My wife and I had a great time and she caught one of the few photos of a ghost ! 👻 Super Sedona and unique experience

Things were great until someone decided to go where they were not supposed

Things were great until someone crossed in the cemetery where they should not have and got injured so cut our tour and experience down. I feel like our tour guide was a little flustered after and we did not get as much time.
