Cassidy_J, Apr 2023

Really enjoyed this. Our tour guide was phenomenal, born and raised in the French Quarter! I only wish we could have gone in places, but can totally understand as they have become private residences. Love the history of the area and what haunts it!

AMAZING tour for cheap!!!

We had Raffel as our guide and he was great. He grew up in the area so there were personal stories mixed in with the accounts of the haunted buildings and myths and legends of the area.
