Awesome tour of Metairie Cemetery. An awe inspiring place to visit withe the many ornate tombs and beautiful grounds! Our tour guide Glenn was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour so much more interesting than had we walked around on our own!

I took a tour of Metairie Cemetery with Glenn. I decided to take the tour from a recommendation that was based on the quality of guides and also on the work that Save Our Cemeteries does as a nonprofit. I felt that Glenn was honest and had a genuine interest in the history of the cemetery. I took 4 other tours in quick succession and in comparison, this was the best and only 1 of 2 that did not appear to over-exaggerate.Our group was led around for roughly 2 hours; an hour longer than what some other cemeteries offered, like St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, and at the same price. It included largely the same information, but what differs is that Metairie is a large cemetery that has many different designs of tombs and statues, showing the difference of wealth for its residents.I wouldn't hesitate to take a Save Our Cemeteries tour the next time I have a chance.

Colenn Schiro gave us a great tour, it was so interesting to hear about so many big names in New Orleans and all the stories about the culture and history! Definitely will do another next time I'm in New Orleans!

We had a wonderful experience at this tour. Glenn took his time to explain detailed history, and we learned a lot while seeing everything of interest. The sprawling cemetery is in beautiful condition. We also did the St. Louis you’re from another company, which was interesting too, but that was a fraction of the size, information (due to the time allotted), and it was somewhat in disrepair. We highly recommend this tour!

I cannot recommend this tour enough, or give our guide, Glenn, enough stars. Having visited New Orleans on numerous occasions and participated in many tours, this was one of the very best. Glenn was entertaining from start to finish, and his knowledge for the subject matter was incredible. You could sense his true passion for the history of the cemetery, and the city, and it made for a fantastic experience. Save Our Cemeteries is a nonprofit group helping to preserve the history and cemeteries of New Orleans, and they are doing admirable work and deserve our support.

This was a great experience!!! Glenn was very knowledgeable about the history of the cemetary and answered almost all of our questions. Even though it was hot outside he made us forget about that.

My wife and I have been touring the country and my wife in particular is a cemetery aficionado. We found this to be the best tour we’ve been on. Our tour guide Glenn was professional, kind and responsive to questions that we had. Glenn was a wealth of information. It was the most well researched tour I have ever taken. Glenn is also so personable and engaging that it makes the information exciting to learn even in the southern heat. Ha ha. We were also excited to go on this tour, because we know it is part of a nonprofit to preserve the cemeteries for future generations.

I am such a big fan of cemeteries all across the country. We only had the opportunity to visit one cemetery and do one tour and I’m so pleased with the decision we made here. It’s so easy to forget how important it is to preserve the cemeteries for future historical context and this nonprofit does a wonderful job saving our cemeteries! I wish they were a nationwide group so that I could tour with them everywhere we go. Our tour guide was Glenn and he was so amazing! Even the kids in our group were fully engaged the entire time because he was so personable and informational. The depths of research and the exciting storytelling really made this a fun experience for me. I couldn’t believe that the kids in our group were still just as excited from start to finish even though it was quite a warm day. I will always keep my eye out for save our cemeteries in the future and I would not go with any other tour group in New Orleans.

The Metairie Cemetery tour exceeded our family's expectation. Glen was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable and entertaining. Great stories and educated our group on the history and culture behind New Orleans cemeteries.
