Cemetery & Voodoo Walking Tour

Includes Authentic Souvenir Gris-Gris Bag

Walk through St. Louis Cemetery #1, the site of the classic movie Easy Rider, as your professional licensed guide recounts the background of the famous and infamous people who are buried there.

Make a wish or cast a spell at the tomb of Marie Laveau - the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans - and discover how she was able to be in two places at once. Listen to the evolution of Voodoo - which is still practiced today - and learn how it became such a factor in the Crescent City.

Learn about our unique above ground burial customs and the tombs of various “societies” in this historic cemetery that first opened in 1789. 

Find out what “Gris-Gris” means and discover the mysterious ingredients in your souvenir “Gris-Gris” bag.

The tour includes climate controlled transportation to and from cemetery and guided tour.
