Note: cemetery access not guaranteed. Haunting adventures await you during this cemetery and voodoo walking tour through New Orleans. St Louis Cemetery No. 1 is the oldest and most famous of the three St Louis cemeteries. You may recall it as the site from the classic movie Easy Rider or perhaps by its most notorious 'resident' Marie Laveau, the late Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. Your guide will recount the background of both the famous and infamous people who are buried there. You'll also learn about New Orleans’ unique above-ground burial custom and hear various society tombs--grand mausoleums built to entomb and commemorate members of professional, benevolent, and ethnic organizations. Throughout your tour, you’ll get a view of the evolution of voodoo -- the practice of witchcraft with an African religious heritage. Often dismissed as a cult or superstition, plenty of New Orleans residents believe in its powers. Voodoo rites and traditions are still observed to this day.
