Geoff and Corey were fantastic! Brought out the believers in us while simultaneously imparting a wealth of knowledge, contextualized within a palpable respect and admiration for their beloved city and its deceased. We actually passed another tour and guide at one point, and the disrespect the other guide was offering the history and the city exemplified the entirely different league that our experience with Geoff and Corey truly was. We even caught some shadowy figures on camera! Highly recommend this duo. The quality of this tour was top notch; absolutely a Must Do!

Geoff was our phenomenal guide! Not only was he knowledgeable regarding the history of the tombs and city he also had a great sense of humor! He dressed the part and always encouraged questions. We even caught what we believe to be an entity on camera! If we could leave more stars we would! Definitely one of our favorite tours we took! Pictured is what we believe we caught on camera. There was a woman walking away but the translucency and glow really makes us think there was something else there.

We enjoyed the tour so much we repeated it a few days later and brought friends. It’s obvious a lot of work has gone into this tour. It’s both informative and fun. Our guide Geoff was an encyclopedia of knowledge and history mixed with a great sense of humor and a flair for fashion. This all combined makes the experience one of a kind.

My sister and I went on the tour with Geoff as our guide. The tour was not only enjoyable but very informative as well! Geoff did an amazing job entertaining us with his stories and knowledge of the city. The BEST part of the tour was seeing and feeling Geoff's love and compassion for New Orleans and it's past!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Geoff is so knowledgeable and so great to be around. He was so happy to share the history of the cemeteries we visited all while still being respectful to those who are buried there. It was such a fun and educational experience for us and was definitely a highlight of the trip. He was also great with recommendations on where to hang out and eat. We ended up eating at the restaurant he said he proposed to his husband at and had a great time!

Typically when I travel, I try to stay away from stream line, basic, touristy gimmicks..however, our trip to NOLA we decided to do a couple of tours. This tour was anything but streamline and while it definitely targets tourists, I believe even locals would appreciate this experience. Geoff has immense respect and love for his city and those who reside here, living and dead, and it was clear how deep his passion goes from the minute we checked in. With an extensive background working in fields that serve the departed, his knowledge and experiences give him the upper hand as a tour expert. His personality, quick wit, and strong communication skills kept the entire tour group engaged and excited to dig deeper into the history of the cemeteries of NOLA and those who rest within them. If that’s not enough to convince you to choose this specific tour over others, keep reading. This tour has exclusive access to a private cemetery and no one else in the city will get you behind those gates. This is an extremely unique experience and absolutely worth it. Additionally, you will get hands on experience using an EMF device, as you make your way through the second part of the tour, to assist you in potentially catching a glimpse of the unseen manifestations and entities that still lingering among us!

The NOLA cemeteries are a must see in general; what better than to see them at night! Geoff was engaging and knowledgeable about the history of the sites!
