This post covers the best night cemetery tours you can take in New Orleans.
We include tips about what to expect, how much it costs, and other important details to keep in mind.
Overview
There are a few cemetery tours in New Orleans that take place after dark, but it’s actually a somewhat uncommon activity because they close the cemeteries at night.
Of the nighttime cemetery tours currently available, there aren’t any that provide access inside of the cemeteries.
Instead, your tour guide will take you to the cemetery gates and discuss some of the spookiest true stories and legends from the area.
Although you will be able to visit the cemetery, you won’t be able to enter and take a look around.
That said, this type of activity is offered during the day, and you can learn more about those outings on our post covering New Orleans Cemetery Tours.
One of the nice things about nighttime cemetery bus tours is that they will often take you to multiple cemeteries rather than just one, sometimes with stops at locations that are off the beaten path.
Since transportation is included with the tour, prices range from $40 - $50 per person.
These outings are typically around 2 hours long, and they include multiple stops all around the city.
These nighttime cemetery tours are offered between the hours of 7 pm - 11 pm.
