[The City temporarily closed Lafayette Cemetery - tour from outside.] The Garden District Tour emphasizes history, architectural style, personal anecdotes, & tropical plant life.

We do our entire cemetery tour which is normally 20 minutes from the gates as the City of New Orleans closed Lafayette Cemetery in 2019 but we still do the cemetery tour from the gates.
