    We did the: New Orleans: Millionaire's Tombs of Metairie Cemetery Tour and Sally was absolutely amazing! My wife and are cemetery junkies and have always wanted to see Metairie Cemetery and seeing it with Sally brings the cemetery to life. Sally tells of the architecture of the tombs, the inspiration behind why they were built and the symbolism of the tombs and statues. This is my absolute favorite tour we have taken in New Orleans. If you love the beauty and history of cemeteries this is an amazing way to learn about New Orleans and some of its famous residents, we highly, highly recommend doing this tour with Sally!

    I'm visiting New Orleans and wanted to book a cemetery tour because the ornate mini mausoleums fascinate me. I am so glad I came across this tour by Red Sash Tours. Sally was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. She made the tour interesting and engaging. She was so much better than the tour guides from the bus companies that I overheard. 100% recommend!

    This tour was WAY better than I thought it would be. Only cemetery in New Orleans that locals use as a public park. Used to be a race track back in the day, and now a cemetery because someone bought it with pettiness after the civil war. I knew I wanted a tour of this place because I wanted to see Anne Rice's tomb (Ive read her Mayfair witches books), as well as all the millionaires plots. There was so much more though, such as "hotel row," the hunched over angel, as well as the guy that started Popeyes. Learned about the different things to look out for and what they mean in cemeteries such as an angel pointing up means "accention," the first three letters of the greek alphabet are on some tombs as well as alpha and omega which means the beginning and the end, and four angels that mean faith, hope, grace, and charity, as well as the difference between a 1, 2, 3 people plot and what they do with them after a year and how they all pile up below with just the bones (40 inches below). (You just need to take a tour to have them explain). Crematorium plots, land above ground so they aren't buried beneath (grass from Greece), and a bunch of millionaire and mosuleum plots. Even one that looks promiscuous. SO many stories which are all awesome! This is a MUST DO when in New Orleans!

    We did the evening Ghost and Vampire Tour, and it was so bad we ended up leaving halfway through…read morebecause of our tour guide, Addie. She came across like an overly dramatic theater kid who couldn't dial it back. Her mannerisms and constant theatrics were cringey, and while maybe one or two stories had potential, the delivery completely ruined them. She would randomly go off on personal tangents (where she lives, her parents, and other irrelevant details) that had absolutely nothing to do with ghosts or vampires and added nothing to the experience. The worst part was her points system, where she'd give out points if people followed instructions or answered questions. For example, when we stayed on the sidewalk instead of walking in the street, she'd shout "10 points!" and point at each person while repeating it. It wasn't quirky or fun, it was just annoying. I wouldn't recommend this tour based on her alone. After our awful experience we tried another company called Nola Ghost Riders and I'd highly recommend them. They are located at the Voodoo Lounge off Decatur St, while French Quarter Phantoms is at Voodoo Lounge off Rampart St.

    When you're in New Orleans, it's almost mandatory to do a ghost tour…read more We booked our ghost tour in the evening just so the vibe could feel more "spooky" and it was worth it. What is better than being in NOLA listening to haunted events while the sun was going down? Our tour guide was great. She was very detailed and very knowledgeable of everything that was discussed. The tour was about 1.5 hours long which was the perfect amount of time in my opinion. We went to numerous buildings that surrounded the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. My favorite spot was seeing the house in the Coven season of American Horror Story. I feel like your trip is not complete if you don't do one of these tours!

    So MANY do not believe. I do. I've encountered the supernatural. I've seen ghosts. I've felt them…read more I've spoken to them since I was a child. The tour was more historical to me than spooky. I learned SO much and I RESPECT the request of our Guides to always respect those laid to rest where we visited. Yes I felt presence and no I didn't see anything THAT time. But the Charity Hospital Cemetery was touching BEYOND belief to me. I will absolutely be watch the documentary. And I am SAD and ANGRY that Charity Hospital was closed. Because it left a hole in NOLA. I enjoyed this tour thoroughly. Our guide was funny, ironic, provided history and laughter. The bus was COLD AC and oh was that welcome the last weekend of May!!! Ice cold. Highly recommend. Skeptics try it out. My only disappointment was not being able to walk the grounds anywhere but Odd Fellows Rest.

    As a professional historian and visitor to museums around the world, I hold museums to a higher…read morestandard than most. To say that the Storyville Museum achieved its goals and earned five stars would be an understatement; this may very well be the best museum I've visited in at least the past three years. The story of Storyville is complex, full of nuance, and with many unanswered questions. For me, one of the hallmarks of an excellent museum is that it lets these questions linger; the rough edges are not smoothed over, and visitors leave pondering big moral and ethical questions. That's exactly how I felt: the museum gave me a fantastic scaffolding of understand about Storyville, but it was also clear that its socioeconomics, its racial and gender dynamics, and its complex intersection with local, state and federal law are vast unplowed fields of potential for masters theses and PhD dissertations. For me, the intersection between prostitution and the political power structures were fascinating. Ton Anderson is a case study of contradictions, and one could spend a career trying to peel back the layers there. So too are the intersections with New Orleans's rich musical cultures and traditions. The stories of the madams themselves were equally captivating. Josie Arlington's and Kate Townsend's lives were riveting, but so too were the countless other women who didn't achieve their considerable wealth and power. The price of admission isn't cheap, but it's well worth the investment. Plan to spend at least two hours here, and learn about an important part of New Orleans's history that's well worth seeing.

    This museum blew my mind with its wide range of history!…read more Storyville Museum is self-explanatory: it goes in depth about how the community of Storyville took place. The museum dives into the infamy Storyville crafted for itself, with newspapers condemning the women, yet some of these people who protested against the practice had took part in their services. My emotions traveled from being humored at this development, to fully facing the truth that this was not all for fun and humor--for many women of Storyville, this was the other way they could keep a roof over their head. The tour details tragic incidents like violent deaths and immoral acts that took place to bring in more visitors. It's an unsightly part of New Orleans' history, but this attraction presents such things with tact and well-thought out design. I was lucky enough to have the whole museum to myself and my partner, so we spent much time really absorbing this history and discussing the bleak and disturbed reality of what was promoted as a lively form of business. I recommend others to stop by this place; it is definitely not for children or those sensitive to sexual content, violence, or abuse. If your comfortable exploring those topics, then Storyville Museum is a great attraction to visit. It was one of the most beloved spots that I found during my vacation, and I'd be happy to go again!

    I would give him 10 stars if I could!!!…read more Mr. Leon Waters is an amazing man that fools you at first thinking he will walk slow but he suddenly jets off and you are left there scrambling to catch up! He is a wise man who has lived through so much and he not only witnessed things but takes action to make right what is wrong. I was so impressed with his bravery and the many ways he initiated change for good. He defines terms for you (like how a Creole person is a child born of black and white parents). And like another Yelper mentioned, he provides a portfolio given to you that accentuates his tour and it's VERY well organized!! It is a very interactive tour and you get to hold very historical items. I won't say what they are so I don't ruin it, but those helped me learn a lot. It produced a strong emotion for me to experience something that was used for evil on precious children and adults. This tour really takes you deep into the mindset of things. Mr. Waters also teaches us about symbolism and how important it was in many aspects! It's about a 2 hour walking tour and I highly recommend bringing enough water (but there are no restroom breaks in between) and a hat. This tour is worth every minute of your time and New Orleans will have a different look to it after you go through it. It's very educational and important to know the history.

    This excellent walking tour with Mr. Leon Waters was easily one of the best things I did while…read morevisiting New Orleans. I learned so much about the history of the land we walked on and felt honored to hear about the work that Mr. Waters and his colleagues do to educate others. There are many walking tours in New Orleans, but don't miss out on this one.
