Nighttime Cemetery Tours in New Orleans

Updated: July 6, 2025

There are two cemetery bus tours in New Orleans that take place after dark, which we list below.

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.

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 $45 - $55 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.

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.

And in this video, Andrew and Daniel, tour guides with Tours by Foot - New Orleans, show you a part of our daytime walking tour of St. Louis Cemetery #3.
