Our Tour begins outside of the gates of Lafayette Cemetery #1, as you learn of the basic burial information and customs and discuss why New Orleans cemeteries are so unique (NOTE: PUBLIC ACCESS IS NOT ALLOWED IN THIS CEMETERY) We then walk around the area where you'll see the architectural styles of the Americans. You will see celebrity homes, perfectly manicured landscapes and film hotspots as well.  Walk with a local, see it through our eyes!
