Enter the former Metairie Race Course, an earthly venue for the “quick,” now elegantly transformed into a glorious “City of the Dead” - where no one is in a hurry. Architecture and archeology seem to converge in this hallowed landscape of imposing society tombs and soaring mausolea. Experience an angelic locale filled with obelisks and pyramids, heroes and rogues, symbols and secrets. You will walk past the final resting places of over 50 kings and queens … of Carnival, that is.
Soldiers and saints will escort us, revealing the rich military history and religious culture of New Orleans. We will explore the fascinating and unique memorials honoring many who struggled in the face of earthly battles as well as those who achieved spiritual victories, arousing the “better angels of our nature.”
The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Enjoyed our tour guides knowledge - lots of good history. Loved geolocation feature and the fact that we could enjoy tour at our own pace. Look forward to reading the narration to see what I missed.

This was actually a pretty cool audio walking self guided tour. We used our phones. The GPS locator function worked very well. It stops and starts when you arrive at the next correct area. The nararrator was very clear to understand. He talks you thru the tour with directions. We rushed a bit thru it due to the very hot temperature outside but the cemetery was just so beautiful. Hearing the history of some of these families was interesting.

I was looking for a self guided audio tour and this seemed like a perfect option. So I bought it and then went through the lengthy process of creating an account, downloading the app, entering the code that was emailed to me, and then started downloading the tour. I work as an IT tech and this was even confusing and frustrating for me. Even worse, the tour would not start and kept looping me around. I spent 45 mins trying to get it to work but it never did.
This was a horrible experience, DO NOT get this!

I’ve never seen anything like it lol- it was educational and entertaining - You can go at your own pace and look inside several different ones- it was fascinating and it was raining and still great

Did not go into the detail I thought was needed. I guess it was a difference of opinion as to what to hightlight
