The stories Sally told were so very interesting. Her excitement about her subject was infectious. We have done 3 different tours of this cemetery and this one was by far the best. And we got a wonderful thunderstorm as well! Which, Sally was prepared for. She handed out umbrellas anticipating the downpour and we finished the tour!

I’ve been on a few cemetery tours and Sally with Red Sash is by far the best. She does so much research and is very knowledgeable. She’s written books on the subject. Fantastic tour.

Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, not in a "memorized a tour speech" kind of way, but in the way of a true expert. She is obviously a master of this information, who loves what she does and keeps up with her research. We overheard a different tour with a different company near the end of our experience, and it was obvious that our guide was so much more knowledgeable and thorough. I'd recommend this tour to anyone!

I saved the best for last, even though I didn’t know it at the time. This tour was the reason I went to New Orleans. I have always been fascinated with the history, architecture, and emotions the cemeteries of New Orleans’ invoke. Ms. Sally Asher of Red Sash tours is THE standard of accuracy and storytelling those entombed in the St. Louis Cemetery deserves to share their history. I would do it again to have the pleasure of learning more from Sally

Sally was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She was down to earth, funny, kind and extremely knowledgeable in the history of New Orleans, burial information and stories about the deceased. She is also quite passionate and excited about all of it which for me keeps me engaged and gets me just as excited about it all. We honestly had no real expectations for our tour. I just wanted my husband to see how cool the local cemeteries in Nola looked. But man did we get way more than expected! We learned so much! I won’t spoil any details for anyone. But I will say, book it! You won’t regret it! Thanks again for everything Sally! You really made our trip to Nola a great one! - Tina & Brian

This was one of the best tours of our trip. The knowledge and time that was shared with us was amazing. If you really want to know and understand the burial practice, symbolism, and history, this is the tour to go on.

We took this cemetery tour with a small group. Sally did not disappoint. She was knowledgeable about the history, symbolism and made it such a fun learning experience. A true professional with such passion for the city. It was one of the best tours we have ever taken and I intend to buy her book. Thanks for a peak at the rich history of New Orleans.

Sally was SO knowledgeable, a true scholar in this fascinating topic. She regaled our group with interesting antidotes and New Orleans lore. If I could give this tour 6 stars I would. We look forward to our next visit to NOLA and we will book her Metairie Cemeteries tour. HIGHLY recommend if you want accurate, fascinating information. - A true delight!
