Highlights
- Masonic Temple Cemetery #2 - Founded in 1865 by the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana Free and Accepted Masons, the Masonic Cemetery expresses a character distinct from the Catholic cemeteries that dominate the city. It is known for its many unusual, elaborate tombs, a reputation due in part to the cemetery’s communal nature: members of lodges pooled resources to purchase large group tombs. Occupying two oddly shaped city blocks, the cemetery is triangular in plan, with Conti Street bisecting it. The triangular footprint of the bordering streets overlaid with the cemetery’s angular internal walkways mimics the Masonic emblem of the square and compass. Cast-iron picket fences enclose its two distinct sections, while oak allées line its northern and western edges. Tombs are compactly arranged in rows parallel to Bienville Street, with a wide, paved promenade cutting through the center to provide access to smaller walkways between rows.

Kendall is a great tour guide - Our bus driver tour guide was Kendall. From time of pick up it was so lively and fun. He told us history, personal stories, sighting opportunities. Many on our tour downloaded the emf reader on our phone and for many got different weird messages like pain,
Come in, muddy. We were offered to use the divining rods. It was all creepy. Totally worth the tour. Hope ya all get Kendall he is a great story teller and engages you quickly. It’s a very interactive tour.

Fun but drawn out unnecessarily - The first stop was so much fun. Air-conditioned bus. Tour guide was fun but got off topic alot causing us to not get back to the Quarter until 11pm.we were bored. Restaurant had no soda only alcohol and it was too hot. For 30 one of the most affordable things in the Quarter.
