Not the first time getting a Viator tour. The tour guide from Vegas was wonderful and made dure we were all there. THIS NOLA tour guide was not great at all. Our guide never showed up. We had been circling the block so that we could be there on time. Got there a few minutes before the meeting time and waited. Did not get an email or notification about time change or location change. Or any other notification about being there earlier rhan the meeting timr. After 15 or 20 minutes I called customer support. Waiting on a refund.

Graham was very knowledgeable about the city of New Orleans. He also explained voodoo, not as an evil practice but of a combination of cultures.

Went on this tour with our friends. 1st bad thing was it was pouring rain! Not the tours fault at all. We met at the park and the tour guide was nice. We started the tour but then we found out the cemetery’s were closed.
All we could do was look in from the locked gates. I had really hoped to walk through the cemetery and really see the different tombs.
I will say I did learn a lot about the tombs and how they work and the cemetery’s. After walking back to the park the guide talked about voodoo for about two minutes and that was it. Overall I would probably do this again if the cemetery’s were actually open.
