What To Expect

As evening sets in, your tour of New Orleans’ spirited sites and haunted history begins. Meet your ghost‐hunter guide in the heart of the French Quarter and steel yourself for a walk through the Vieux Carré (Old Square). Admire the nocturnal nature of the city’s cultural hub, where enchanting nightlife mingles with what lurks in the shadows.

Pass residences of ill‐repute such as the infamous LaLaurie House, where the wicked mistress Madame LaLaurie performed horrifying deeds to slaves, as well as centuries‐old haunted bars and hotels. Enjoy a stop at one of the city's legendary haunted bars, where you can indulge in a drink or two (at your own expense) in the company of fellow travelers and supernatural buffs.

Between stops, hear other creepy stories that have appeared on the History Channel and Discovery Channel. By the end of this chilling tour, understand why New Orleans is often called the most haunted city in America.

Request Charlie!

Sheila_B, Apr 2024

Charlie was GREAT! Low key, very knowlegeable, not scripted, genuinely seemed to tailor the tour to the 9 of us. I now have a list of books I need to order to learn more!

Great walking tour

Robin_S, Apr 2024

Our guide Charlie was very friendly and knowledgeable of the cities history. Was a great two hours spent walking around the French Quarter. I would recommend for anyone up for a history lesson and to explore the historical sites!

Best Ghost Tour

Shannon_J, Apr 2024

Tiny was the best tour guide! We even had a nice stop at a bar for bathroom break and refreshments. The guide also gives you a sticker to get free drinks at another local bar. Highly recommend this tour to couples who are interested in some gruesome history.

“Memorable Tour with Tiny: History Brought to Life!”

Brianne_A, Apr 2024

The tour was fantastic! Our guide, Tiny, made it both relatable and memorable by sharing facts instead of folklore. I particularly enjoyed how he brought the history to life. Tiny also pointed out some businesses with a haunted history that we would have otherwise missed. I highly recommend the tour—make sure to request Tiny as your guide!

Stella gave the best tour!!!

Samantha_R, Apr 2024

We had a tour with Stella and she was the BEST. She gave us a great tour filled with amazing information and history. We would recommend her a million times over!!!

Ariadne was an excellent guide. She was very engaging, a great story teller, and had hilarious jokes throughout. We had a great time.

it was okay

Ali_D, Apr 2024

I feel like my tour guide was drunk because hi words were slurring all together quickly.. I think had they contained some of the stories we would’ve been able to cover more or see more

Good for families

Greg_W, Apr 2024

It's pretty good. Lots of history. Go to about 5 spots. Great guides. Worth doing for sure. Good for the family. Kids over 10 would like it.

Lukus_S, Mar 2024

Stella was a fun tour guide and gave us a lot of history. The walking wasn't bad and the architecture was amazing!

BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER

Tasha_C, Mar 2024

Ariadne was giving spooky Taylor Swift vibes! She gave us all chills while telling us about the singing rain haunting. When she sang a few words of the Kyrie hymn we were all left speechless! She added lots of fun humour into the tour while painting vivid scenes of how New Orleans became one of the most haunted cities in America.

Such a fun and...
