Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this cemetery tour?

A: There's no strict age limit for the New Orleans Historic Cemetery Walking Tour, but it's definitely more suited for teens and adults due to the historical themes and stories involved. Kids might get bored or not fully understand the content. If you're bringing younger ones, just be prepared to keep them engaged!

Q: What kind of shoes should I wear for the walking tour?

A: Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes! The tour lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, and you will be strolling through the cemeteries, so you want to be comfy. I wore sneakers, and they were perfect. Also, check the weather — if it's rainy, consider waterproof options!

Q: How does rescheduling work if it rains?

A: If it rains, Witches Brew Tours usually reschedules your tour for a later date. They try to contact you ahead of time if they know the weather's going to be bad, but it's good to check your email the day before. Just be flexible with your schedule to find a new date that works!

Just did the cemetery tour and it was amazing!

I went on the New Orleans Historic Cemetery Walking Tour last weekend, and wow, it was mind-blowing! The guide has this way of storytelling that really brings the history to life. We visited St. Patrick #1 and the Katrina Memorial, and hearing about the burial customs was both fascinating and chilling. I’d totally recommend this for anyone who loves a bit of history and spooky vibes!

Thinking of gifting this cemetery tour. Thoughts?

I’m considering getting the New Orleans Cemetery Walking Tour as a gift for my history buff friend. Has anyone done it? I want to make sure it’s worth it. I know it includes a master storyteller, but what’s the vibe? Is it more educational or spooky?
