Tour consisted of walking to different locations and standing on street while guide told ghost stories about past residents of homes. Did not enter any of the homes, and was challenging to hear the tour guide over the street noise and traffic.
Alissa_M, May 2026
Carolyn was amazing! So informative and didn't rush us through it. Enjoyed this! Would highly recommend
Adrienne_S, May 2026
My family (husband and daughters) and I absolutely enjoyed the ghost tour. I've been to NOLA several times and I learned stuff I never knew rom the tour. Our tour guide was great and my younger daughter was sad when the tour ended because she just loved the guide. I definitely recommend this tour, it was great.
Allison_F, May 2026
If you’re looking for a ghost experience, this isn’t it. More history than ghost. I suggest just doing the day tour, nights get busy and at some points, you can’t hear what the guide is saying (not their fault at all). The “inside a haunted location” wasn’t what I expected-basically sitting around a table with black lights listening to guide talk about history of voodoo. Our guide, Gomez, was great-funny and interactive.
katlund_i, May 2026
Gomez was a great tour guide! He really personalized our tour and made it very unique and fun. You can tell he loves his job.
Kathleen_M, Apr 2026
This was a great walking tour. We learned a lot about New Orleans haunted history. Wes was our guide and was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Michelle_M, Apr 2026
Not what we thought it was. Title misleading. We thought we be going into a haunted house to get some kind of paranormal experience. History is always great. But could have been more supernatural.
Sibi_R, Apr 2026
Lauren was an amazing guide. She was so knowledgeable and we learned so much interesting history! Highly recommend this tour!
Jean_S, Apr 2026
Orion is a great story teller. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!°!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vickie_M, Apr 2026
We had a great time and Orion was a fabulous guide who was informative and kept the group focused and treated everyone respectfully.
Brian_R, Apr 2026
It was fun hearing all the stories around town. Jenna did a great job as our tour guide. Learned a lot 🙂
Jennifer_P, Apr 2026
Orion was AMAZING!!!! He told us so many stories and the history that went along with the stories. He is so knowledgeable and fun, he kept us all entranced. Two hours flew by.
Debra_F, Apr 2026
Orion was great. He made us all laugh at the start with silly drawn pics for his rules. He gave us lots of information on the different haunted areas and also gave us tips on finding out more if we were interested.
Rebecca_P, Apr 2026
Very entertaining and spooky. Really enjoyed it, one of the best ghost tours I’ve been on (and I’ve been on many!) Orion was an awesome tour guide.
Adrienne_C, Apr 2026
Worth it! Definitely a fun and haunting experience . It was fun learning about the city’s history and ghostly tales
Misty_G, Apr 2026
Lauren was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable and I learned so much about the interesting history of New Orleans.
Christy_M, Apr 2026
Lauren was very knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and very animated when telling all the ghost stories. Really enjoyable time.
Tanna_S, Apr 2026
I thought the meeting up was easy to find. I do wish there were more smaller, intimate groups though. Pinky was great to listen to, exhibiting a real passion for the city and its history. I was disappointed that the advertising was for us to go inside a haunted place, but we did not. Overall good but not great.
Erin_P, Apr 2026
My experience was a 10/10, hands down the best tour I’ve ever been on. I would recommend this to everyone I know. Couldn’t be more happy with this tour, and our tour guide orion was phenomenal
elena_s, Apr 2026
Guide was not very interesting and a chastised us regarding the unhoused population in the area at the start of the tour… I understand having standard that need to be followed but the delivery missed the mark… we are after all paying customers and adults. I do rather enjoy being treated with the same respect that is expected of me. A comment was made by the guide referring to womens intuition being a result of us being victimized so much. I can never get enough of a white male explaining the female experience. The only time ive been a victim is on this tour!!! White guilt was on full display!! The information given on the tour was delivered in a very rushed manner and not in the least bit spooky,creepy, or eerie. Take your time and money elsewhere
Arturo_G, Mar 2026
Scott was a great storyteller and paused for every question with enthusiasm. When he got to the ghost stories there was perfect pause to give you chills without truly terrifying the little kids.
Laura_T, Mar 2026
Tour guide was very nice and informative. That being said, we did not go to all the places outlined in the description, particularly the hotel courtyard and the bar.
Jordan_p, Mar 2026
Wes was our tour guide and he was amazing! Every easy to get to and was very organized! Would do again!
Chauqualia_W, Mar 2026
Wes was absolutely captivating. I really enjoyed this tour! The tour seems very long walking A LOT but it went super fast! Ending with dinner table thing was perfect!
Maria_G, Mar 2026
Great storytelling, imaginative, connected to history and local lore. Great TV and film culture references.
Dennis_A, Mar 2026
Pinky was extremely knowledgable and a great story teller. We really enjoyed this tour. One of the highlights of our vacation for sure.
Jody_M, Mar 2026
We didn’t see any ghosts, per se, but the tour was so much fun. Our guide, John, was absolutely fabulous. He was so animated and had such a phenomenal personality. He made the tour one of our favorite activities during our trip to New Orleans.
Angela_S, Mar 2026
Tour guy was awesome! Ask for Gomez to be your tour guide! At first I questioned it but we ended the guide with a bang!!!
Torpey_W, Mar 2026
Good stories and history of New Orleans but not much in the way of ghost stories or tales. Itinerary was jumbled.
Shelly_H, Mar 2026
We had a great time with our guide. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The only thing that would have made the night better was fewer people in the group.
