Overview

I'm Paul, a born and raised native of New Orleans, I have given thousands of visitors from around the world and have earned over 450 5★ Reviews on my NOLA METAIRIE CEMETERY TOUR. I have taken many courses on New Orleans and read most of the books on her 300 year old history. I'm a Licensed NOLA Tour Guide and have a B.S. in Marketing from The University of New Orleans. This is NOT a ghost tour. The day I am able to contact a ghost and introduce them to you will be the day I start giving ghost tours. My tour is Fact-Based and comprehensive, designed to educate you about culture & history of this unique burial method in the city I call home, NEW ORLEANS!

You will see the tombs of: Al Copeland – Founder Popeyes Fried Chicken, Ruth Fertel – Founder Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Tom Benson – New Orleans Saints/Pelicans Owner, Anne Rice – Vampire Novelist & the Weeping Angel Statue.

If a day/time slot is not available & for groups larger than 15, contact me, & I will try to accommodate you.
