Explore New Orleans’ "Cities of the Dead: on the only ghost tour offering cemetery access after dark. While most haunted history tours stay in the bustling French Quarter, this one takes you into the silent, shadowy realms of some of the city’s oldest and most haunted graveyards. Hear chilling tales of paranormal activity while exploring the curious above-ground burial practices of these famous final resting places.
The hook here is access most tours cannot offer: the operator bills this as the only ghost tour with cemetery access after dark, taking you into some of the city's oldest and most haunted graveyards rather than staying in the French Quarter. It is a bus tour, and BYOB, so it suits adults who want to see the above-ground burial grounds up close while hearing tales of paranormal activity, without walking the whole route.
New Orleans built its reputation on above-ground cemeteries the locals call Cities of the Dead, and this tour goes into that world rather than the busier Quarter streets. If you are curious about the city's distinctive burial practices and want them explained on site, this format delivers that. The BYOB, after-dark framing points to an adult crowd rather than a family outing.
