Need help with cemetery tour...

Will be in New Orleans next week with my sister. She has trouble walking distances or standing for any length of time. My question is... does anyone know of a cemetery or haunted tour that does not require a lot of walking or standing? She%26#39;s fine ten minutes at a time. Any advise would be appreciated.

All the cemetery tours I%26#39;ve been on are at least an hour in length, and while there%26#39;s not that much walking, there%26#39;s a good bit of standing. Unfortunately, not too many places to sit down. You might want to look into a haunted carriage/buggy tour instead. neworleansonline.com/neworleans/tours/horsec鈥?/a>

I went with a pregnant friend in November and the standing and heat got to her pretty quickly-and she was only four months along. I agree if you can work in any type of carriage ride tour, it may be better. There are many wonderful ghost and vampire tours in the city, I am sure you will have no problem finding something entertaining. Your hotel may be able to help.

You could check into save our cemetaries tours that leave from the Basin Street station (n.Rampart %26amp; conti) and there are areas to rest there and thats where the tour starts. St. Louis I is right next to the Basin St. Station tourist information building. She could just go to #1 and leave at any point feeling tired. ITs a thought. The carriage rides are fun and check with the dispatcher at Jackson Square about the haunted carriage ride as they are sporadic.

Thanks, for the great ideas...... I have called a few places for the haunted carriage tours. Just got off the phone with Bloody Mary. She told me her husband does carriage rides. If we contact him he can do a haunted tour for us (private or in a larger carriage with additional people). I think thats what we%26#39;ll do. Sounds perfect for our needs.

Cajunyank.... I liked the Save Our Cemeteries tour idea. That would have worked for us. Unfortunately, the tour is on Sunday only. We arrive on Tuesday. So maybe next time...

Go to Commander%26#39;s Palace for lunch and 25cent martinis, M-F and visit the cemetery just across the street. It is small and does not require a lot of walking. There is usually a volunteer there to do a SHORT tour.

Yes, go to Commander%26#39;s for lunch and then to the cemetery right accross the street. I think they close at three so be there by two.

A worker was there and gave us an informative (and short) about 30 min tour.There was no charge and you could give a donation if you chose to.

Commander%26#39;s sounds great. I%26#39;m looking into lunch on Friday. Can%26#39;t go wrong with .25 cent martinis. But, I have a feeling it might be a good idea to check out the cemetery BEFORE the martinis... Can%26#39;t wait !! Leaving in the morning.

Thanks Again!
