After meeting your ghoulish guide at the Rampart Treehouse, you’ll head straight to your first spooking spot: Bayout St. John. Here, Marie Laveau allegedly carried out many voodoo rituals.
Your next stop is St. Louis Cemetery No. 3, which was built in the 1800s during the yellow fever epidemics as the city ran out of room to bury its dead. Learn about its history as a leper colony before heading to Charity Hospital Cemetery, a place of ample ghost sightings.
Then, you’ll stop to pay your respects to those who died during Hurricane Katrina at a memorial home to tombs of 85 unidentified victims, before you conclude your tour at New Orleans City Park, where you’ll have a chance to grab a bite at Café du Monde.

Drew was a fantastic tour guide. A mix between sarcasm, funny & educational. Really enjoyed all the spots. Not spooky at all. I left more informed with New Orleans knowledge.
Ramona_R, Apr 2026
We completely enjoyed our experience all thanks to our guide Christian(like the religion) and our driver Perry! He was very knowledgeable and he “got jokes”.
Highly recommended.
Richard_P, Mar 2026
Christian was great! Really gave us a warm New Orleans welcome and presented us with a “homegrown” perspective of Crescent City history. Enjoyed every minute and the time and care Christian put into his presentation came through in spades.

I have dreamed of visiting a cemetery in New Orleans since I was very young and I was so thrilled to be able to book a haunted history tour on Friday the 13th! The tour was incredible and I think a lot of that has to do with our excellent tour guide, Christian (like the religion). Christian was so knowledgeable about the city and its history and it was obvious he loves what he does and is very good at it. He provided a vast history and information about the different locations we attended while also sprinkling in some great humor along the way. This tour was absolutely the highlight of the trip for us and I would do it again in a heartbeat. 10/10 recommend, especially if you can get Christian!

Definitely wish we had more cemetery time since the last cemetery was closed to us.. tour guide was really nice and I will say I had nice dreams last night
Matt_W, Mar 2026
Expensive for what it was. We picked this tour due to the reviews and ratings but did not feel it was worth the cost. Went to 5 places, a pond, cemetery, 2 hospitals and a Resturant. Pond and cemetery was ok and the Katrina affected hospital but was only able to stand on the sidewalk along with the other hospital. Stopping at the restaurant was just wasting our time and to visit 2 hospitals from the sidewalk I thought was cheap. The driver and tour guide did a good job but for the amount we paid I felt they fell very short and would not recommend. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because of the tour guide.
Stacy_S, Mar 2026
The tour consisted of someone telling stories and passing around her phone. It was not worth the price we paid. Tour guide was not very enthusiastic and the other tours arrived at the same time and were loud and obnoxious and ruined whatever vibe that was left which wasn’t much.
Mona_N, Mar 2026
Christian our tour guide was very enthusiastic and entertaining…. interesting to see the history .. stopped for coffee and beignets too
Michael_A, Mar 2026
Drew was a wonderful storyteller and guide on this evening experience (we did the 9:30pm tour). It was a nice mix of facts, stories, and fun—made interesting throughout. Stopping in the park for a story under the trees was a highlight. Recommend!
Amanda_M, Mar 2026
We had a blast on this nighttime ghost and cemetery tour thanks to our host Christian. He was very personable, well spoken about the city and how his family is from the area, and I laughed the whole time. I had been having a horrible day and his tour turned it around for me to where it ended on an awesome note. I think I might have even gotten a picture of “Moaning Lisa”. Either that or my camera is weird 🤣. Loved every bit of it
Lynn_L, Mar 2026
Christian was a great guide! Tour was very informative and entertaining. I would recommend to anyone.
Suellen_B, Mar 2026
Great history of New Orleans. Expect a little walking. Be open to new experiences. Expect to meet great people.
Marc_S, Mar 2026
This was a fun tour! Big shout out to Drew and Israel! Drew put on a fantastic show while telling us the history of New Orleans, if you need anyone to tell you the deeds of the dead! It would be Drew! Thanks again!

Sharon_S, Feb 2026
Wasn’t too spooky but lots of interesting insights about the history of the city and its cemeteries. The story telling was very effective with lights and settings and very animated delivery.
Ruth_S, Feb 2026
So fun! One of the best tours we had on our trip. Christian is an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate storyteller who loves share about his city. Beyond that when some of the guests had interpersonal drama he was able to diffuse the situation gracefully and still kept the group on track and positive.
Maria_B, Feb 2026
Christian was a very knowledgeable guide—energetic, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made the entire experience both fun and informative from start to finish. I usually don’t leave reviews unless they’re truly great, and this one was absolutely worth it. I loved every moment and learned so much along the way. He deserves a raise! I highly recommend booking with him if you want a guide who goes above and beyond to make the tour memorable.

It was a very informative and interesting tour. There were some creepy moments in the cemeteries and overall was fun and immersive.
NadineJoseph, Feb 2026
Spooky, informative, fun.
Our guide was enthusiastic, informative, and responsive. We were lucky to be in a small group and lucky to hear the story of our bus driver, who barely escaped Hurricane Katrina as an 8 year old.

Everyone was very helpful setting up different activities. Everyone was polite and pleasant. I will use Viator for future trips
Michelle_S, Jan 2026
Bus was a clean & comfortable ride. Christian was electric, knowledgeable & a fantastic tour director. Actual tour was a little less than expected. Informative but lacked mystery & haunted aspect. Glad we went but a little disappointing.
