Itinerary
In the 19th century, an area along Bayou St. John was reputedly the location of many voodoo rituals by Marie Laveau. The Magnolia Bridge over the Bayou continues to serve as a site for such rituals every St. John's Eve.
Your introduction to haunted burial ground begin at the gates of this cemetery built in the 1800s during the yellow fever epidemics as the city ran out of room to bury its dead. Everything was something else before it is what it is today. This famous burial location was once a lepers colony with a cemetery of its own. You might say it's a cemetery on top of a cemetery.
Stop here for a quick break and a chance to grab a bite at Cafe du Monde (own expense.)

Our tour guide Christian was great. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor throughout the entire tour. He was able to both educate us and keep the environment fun while making sure the group was respectful of the cemeteries and the history of New Orleans. We would 100% recommend this tour. He absolutely made the tour! Our driver Perry was also great. We were wildly impressed who’s his ability to get us to the different locations and make sure we were all safe. He showed real concern for each person on the tour and also had a great sense of humor. Great experience!
