Cemetary and Haunted Tours
Has anyone done these? Do you recommend one company over the other? I want interesting for cemetary and SCARY for Haunted. I heard the former are excellent and the Haunted a plain waste of time.

If you are talking about New Orleans, we went on a great tour of St Louis No 1 (just on the other side of Rampart St from the French Quarter) with the Historic New Orleans Walking Tour Co. Our guide was great - very knowlegable, terrific story teller, and seemed to genuninly love New Orleans' history.

We did the "haunted history tour" in New Orleans a couple of years ago. It was fun. Our guide (Mideon) was a great storyteller and it seemed more theatrical than historical (though I suppose the stories he told could be considered true depending on how much you believe in the supernatural). My husband and I have since had several laughs remembering his tone and the seriousness with which he told each story as we wandered the french quarter. I grew up in New Orleans and this was something different to do - I wouldn't consider it a must for a first time New Orleans visit and think a cemetrary tour would be more interesting if you're not familiar w/New Orleans cemetaries.
