Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?

Very small group and got to see 3 different cemeteries in New Orleans. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour! We walked through and he even showed us several unique gravesites and was very friendly. Always made sure to make us feel like we were important and was never bothered by questions. Shuttle had air conditioning and we were told if we ever needed to go back because of heat we were more than welcome
