New Orleans Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost Walking Tour

Savannah_W, Sep 2026

I loved that this tour...

I loved that this tour was true crime only, since most tours offered supernatural themes, it was a nice change of pace. I am a fan of true crime more than paranormal stories, and it being adults-only was a bonus. Our tour guide, Jeremy, was very informative and had in depth answers to any question asked. He had a very engaging personality and also stayed after to guide any tourists to any restaurants, shops, etc for afterwards. Glad I went, 10/10 recommend to those who love true crime!

After Dark Haunted New Orleans City and Cemetery Bus Tour

Garland_G, Sep 2026

The best experience I've had on a Sunday in NOLA

The tour guide was highly knowledgeable and engaging. This is not your regular tourist type tour. The guide has a passion for what he's doing and it shows. No regrets at all. From the time we showed up till the end. It was an amazing time. I highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed. The tour guide was happy to share his extensive knowledge of the history of every stop. The driver was also amazing. I seldom write reviews but this one is warranted. From start to finish it felt like the time flew by. I would have booked an entire day if I could. If you're ever in New Orleans and you want a genuine experience and not just some tourist trap look no further. You will not be disappointed. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend this tour. My wife and I will definitely book it again next time we are in the city. It's that good.

St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Official Walking Tour

Chris_H, Aug 2026

Simple St Louis Sojourn

Quick, easy, and insightful tour around d the cemetery. Alan was very knowledgeable; he’s been at it for 26 years (his words), so he should be. Great photo ops of the old tombs/crypts. BE CAREFUL…as is it all brick and concrete, and walled off in more concrete and brick, bring water or something to cool yourself off with. You don’t want to “cook” yourself like the lifetime residents…IYKYK.

Spooked!

For someone who tends to believe in what I see and know, this tour had me spooked…Which means the tour guide did her job! She did a great job explaining NO’s history, and how the city was built upon the dead. We hit the St. Louis Cemetery, and another one for the Masons. I throughly enjoyed the tour.
