Your Itinerary

Hurricane Katrina Memorial

On the former site of Charity Hospital’s paupers’ field, this ominous but oddly affecting circle of tombs holds the bodies of 85 unclaimed victims of the 2005 levee failures and the names of others who perished. It’s an unfussy place that’s easily missed, the better for contemplative solitude, perhaps. Surrounded by a storm-shaped series of pathways, the memorial does its duty in giving one substantial pause.

City Park

(Pass by)

City Park is as magical and unique as the city of New Orleans. The 1,300-acre outdoor oasis has enchanted New Orleanians since 1854, making it one of the nation’s oldest urban parks. Each year, millions of visitors stroll under the same historic oaks and picturesque moss canopies that served as the backdrop for dances, concerts and even gentlemanly duels or “affaires d’honneur” for generations.

Masonic Temple Cemetery #2

Founded 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.

The tour was so much fun and was made memorable by our tour guide Bob The Undertaker! He knew so many interesting facts and stories and exploring the cemeteries was wonderful. Would definitely do it again and wish it was longer!

Great cemetery tour. Our guide was great made the experience that much better. I wish I remembered her name!

The whole group from teenagers to adults has a great time! David was an excellent/entertaining guide. The weather was uncooperative with periods of heavy rain, but we were able to make the best of it. Charity Cemetery has a interesting history.

I had fun acting out as a swimmer during the Katrina story as told by our guide. There was a lot of information given during the tour. Glad we had a brief break to get beignets.

The tour guide Fernando was very informative and shared a ton of information in the short time that the tour was. Excellent experience for my family.

Kate_H

The tour was engaging. Fernando, our guide, provided stories about New Orleans and the history of its cemeteries. Fascinating. He is a fast talker so some of the information was missed or indiscernible. We were on the tour Christmas Eve and I’m sure he wanted to get home. In addition, it was raining fairly hard, which put a wet damper on the experience. All in all, it was a fantastic adventure with a knowledgeable guide.

Claire_S

Great tour with knowledgeable guide! A lot of fun and learned a lot about the history of NOLA. Also BYOB on the bus!

Brandy_F

This was my second time taking this tour and it was even better than the first. So informative and definitely creepy enough. We learned so much about the history and culture of NOLA and even stopped for delicious beignets. Ask for Fernando! You won’t be disappointed.
