Fun and informative garden district walking tour

Booked this tour on a whim last minute as I had an unexpected free afternoon and I’m glad I did. The small group tour was lead by Erin, who was wonderful. She was a wealth of knowledge of the area, from the history to the architecture. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the garden district.

New Orleans Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost Walking Tour

Nedra_W, Jul 2026

Excellent!

This tour was the best! We got to learn about lesser known pieces of true history, not just fictional “ghost” stories for entertainment. Kate was an engaging and entertaining tour guide. The owner Christo accompanied us on our tour and he was very personable. We actually had a small medical emergency at the end of the tour, and both Christo and Kate stayed with us until EMS evaluated and gave us the all-clear. Then Christo even reached out to us the next day to offer additional assistance while we are in the city. A great tour and even better people! Thank you, Kate & Christo!

Fascinating ghost stories and a good time!

He is a fantastic storyteller and very knowledgeable about the historical aspects of the city. We really appreciated his style of storytelling and his candor.

Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter

Gene_T, Jun 2026

If you take this trip, Ask for Randy - he’s awesome

Others have said this trip is 4 miles. It’s not. It’s maybe 1 mile - I tracked it with my watch. Trip starts at the voodoo lounge, a joint open 24 hours a day. You get bogo hurricane drinks all day with your wrist band, but the drinks are fairly priced without the deal. Randy was our tour guide and was really just great. He grew up in the south and has been in NOLA for a bit now. He was winsome and inviting, had a great pace verbally and physically through the tour. He also made the trip colorful with some inside knowledge and personal stories. We walked by other tour guides of other tours, and I can tell you that without a doubt, Randy was light years ahead of many of these other folks. Randy also gave some recommendations of what to see and where to go that we wouldn’t have thought to look for or search beforehand. Great tour and great tour guide!

New Orleans Food and History Walking Tour

You should go, it’s worth it.

I was very happy with the tour all around. I felt the selection was balanced, the distance was fine & our guide, Beth, was amazing. She was a wealth of knowledge, not only about NOLA, but every state each tour participant was from, she knew some tidbit of history. Really enjoyed all the information we learned. Will I remember it? Hopefully, but it was a lot. We had a vegetarian in our group & each establishment catered to his needs. The first restaurant was very nice, it was at the meeting spot 3rd Block Depot. We ate chicken & sausage gumbo. I didn’t think I liked gumbo, but it was good. Then we were off the Pepper Palace. We had ice cream with spicy sauce. It was hot! Then we went to Leah’s Prailine. The brittle was so good I had to buy some. The toNola Poboys. We had catfish poboy, boudin ball (very good) and muffeletta. Then to to Creole Cookery. The restaurant was so nice inside. Ate beans & rice and bananas foster. Both were very good. I had zero Complaints & would recommend.

This tour is a such a...

This tour is a such a beautiful tribute to the rich (and very haunted) history of New Orleans!! Our guide, Ariadne, was so lovely; each story was handled with great sensitivity and many had a wonderful (often spooky) personal touch. You could tell she is truly passionate about what she does. I even caught a little ghost orb in one of my photos. An all around fantastic experience!
