Bob was awesome and a great story teller stopped at a park and the Masonic Cemetery. Bring your own bottle was a nice touch

From burial customs and traditions, to the history of the Masons and Catholics in New Orleans. This tour will leave you with feelings of trepidation and excitement, as well as with a reverence for our city’s incredible history. This is a narrated 2-hour guided bus tour.

Points of Interest
Stop At: Masonic Temple Cemetery #2400 City Park Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70119Founded in 1865 by the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana Free and Accepted Masons, the Masonic Cemetery expresses a character distinct from the Catholic cemeteries that dominate the city. It is known for its many unusual, elaborate tombs, a reputation due in part to the cemetery’s communal nature: members of lodges pooled resources to purchase large group tombs. Occupying two oddly shaped city blocks, the cemetery is triangular in plan, with Conti Street bisecting it. The triangular footprint of the bordering streets overlaid with the cemetery’s angular internal walkways mimics the Masonic emblem of the square and compass. Cast-iron picket fences enclose its two distinct sections, while oak allées line its northern and western edges. Tombs are compactly arranged in rows parallel to Bienville Street, with a wide, paved promenade cutting through the center to provide access to smaller walkways between rows. Duration: 40 minutesAdditional Information
- Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
- Service animals allowed
- Public transportation options are available nearby
- Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap
- Suitable for all physical fitness levels

Kendall gave us the best tour. He was very knowledgeable, he genuinely cared about the city of New Orleans and it showed through his presentation. He was entertaining, and an all around pleasure. On the way back, he even dropped up off at our hotel and saved us the cab fare. His presentation at the Dual Sight was topnotch, and it was fun and informative to watch. At the cemetery, explaining about Katrina, and the effect it had on the cemetery, the myths and superstitions, as well as the ghost pictures were amazing. Kendall is the best!!

It was ok. Not what i was expecting. Only went into 1 cemetery. Nothing paranormal about it. Was not spooky AT ALL. I felt like the tour was more about the history of burials in NOLA. Would not do it again & would not recommend either.
