What are people saying about New Orleans

Emma_K, May 2026

Gary K was our tour...

Gary K was our tour guide. He was VERY knowledgeable and is GREAT at his job. We had a detour because of the roads being blocked off, however he quickly switched the cemetery and market we were going to and it was great! I would recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you have never been to New Orleans before.

The National WWII Museum Admission Ticket New Orleans

NAILAH_O, May 2026

WWII's best museum

This is a do NOT miss for any history buff. Amazing exhibits, filled with personal stories. Make sure to catch the 4D movie first. You could literally spend 2 days. We did it in about 5 hours and that was a bit exhausting. Your perspective of this horrific war will forever be changed. Whether you're an expert, a veteran or a student, history comes to life here and you will learn a lot. So glad we saved a day for this!

Fun!

Jenna was great! We were running late and she made sure to stay in communication with us to be able to catch up with the group. I was worried it would be the same ol true crime facts i’ve read/known about but she actually dropped alot more info that I thought! The little bars along the way were so cool (be sure to bring cash!!) we had a VERY chatty couple with us and Jenna did great being loud enough for the rest of the group and keeping the conversation on topic. 10/10 would recommend

While this was labeled a...

While this was labeled a ghost/crime scene tour, it was more historical. Joshua was well informed about the history of various events that took place in the French Quarters years ago. He patiently waited to see if we had questions. It is very obvious that Joshua loves what he does and is eager to share his knowledge with the throngs of people who sign up for the ghost tours.

We had a very good time on this tour! We loved learning all the stories of famous murders in New Orleans. So surreal to actually see places where things happened and hear the gruesome details. Loved going to Jean Laffitte's Bar too and enjoyed drinks and music on the piano. Lovely night in the French Quarter.

The Ultimate Ghosts, Gods & Gangsters Experience

Edward was an incredible guide! Engaging, knowledgeable, and full of spine chilling stories that brought New Orleans’ haunted history vividly to life. From the moment the tour began, his energy and passion for the city’s darker side kept us completely hooked. He masterfully weaved together tales of ghosts, voodoo, notorious criminals, and bizarre legends, all with just the right mix of humor and suspense. Unlike other tours that rotate through different guides, Edward is a one-man show so you know exactly what you’re getting: a consistently top-tier experience led by someone who truly knows his craft. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a deeper, darker dive into the soul of New Orleans.
