Our guide was extremely knowledgeable although I can’t remember his name. He was full of personality and made it a point to let us know what was legend and what was more just hype and talk or speculation. Was with my kids and it was their first time. We all enjoyed every bit of it!
Jimmy was great! It was a wonderful tour filled with history, humor, and spooky tales. I would definitely do it again.
Great tour!! Our guide Alex was very informative and entertaining!! Highly recommend this tour you will have a blast!
We hope you get Alex as a tour guide. He is great! Lots of walking with a bathroom & drink stop along the way.
Not very exciting or interesting. Stories were only okay. I don’t have any more comments but have a 100 character minimum which is stupid.
Great stories. Guide was very knowledgeable. We were in a really large group but the guide managed it well.
The tour could have been amazing. Unfortunately we had a guide who was all over the place. Appears she might have been sick. Her coughing and sweating and runny nose were extremely distracting. We left along with over half the tour group only 4 people were left by half way through. Will come back and do tour over. Fingers crossed with a different tour guide. She was nice just not a job she excelled at.

I'm sorry your guide wasn't at her best. I'll try and research who you went with and follow up. Thanks for your feedback.
Best Regards and Stay Spooky

An absolute New Orleans must, great stories, a great setting, Michael was excellent and knowledgeable, he truly made our experience!
Very informative great stories nice to see the city at night with people out and about.
The family enjoyed it.
Because I was with my kids (tween/teen), we signed up for the 6:00 tour. Michael was a wonderful guide, relating the stories and legends with obvious enthusiasm and knowledge and welcomed questions. We all had a spooky blast!
It is a cute walking tour around the French Quarter. A stop at a bar is made at the midpoint to cool down and hydrate. Ghost tours aren't my thing, but Michael did a good job of keeping it interesting.
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!
Tara was amazing! Loved her story telling experience. We went to multiple locations in the area and enjoyed the stories and overall experience
There was at least a 4 mile walk. Had a nice bathroom break and free water station. Had yummy drinks. Stories were very interesting. The guide was very knowledgeable.
We had a very good experience on our ghost & vampire tour. Jimmy did a really good job as a guide. I enjoyed his style of story telling & sharing. It might have been nicer to have just a few less people on each tour group as we had to crowd uncomfortably close to let people pass behind us on the sidewalks & to be able to hear clearly. Not a huge deal though. Overall positive experience
Great tour guide, spooky and factual. Perfect break at the halfway point. We were a fairly large work group and everyone enjoyed the tour.
It ended right off Bourbon so perfect transition into the rest of the night. Perfect activity for all ages…we even had a dog with us 🦮
Michael was amazing , perfection, no notes. Had a great time! Very knowledgeable and kept the fun vibes the entire time
Very entertaining and historical , our tour guide was very passionate about the stories he told. Highly recommend Randy Johnson
Super fun ghost tour: full of local lore. The tour felt like just the right amount of time and walking. It did seem difficult going for the group member with a walker. French Quarter sidewalks are uneven.
Alex was really funny and personal throughout the tour. Great sense of humor and his storytelling was impeccable. He made you wonder how much of the stories happened as they were told and how much were embellished (as a good storyteller should ) You could never really tell. Definitely recommend the tour.
Wonderful tour guide Adelaide! Wish we were able to cover more topics in a two hour span but very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Learned some cool historical facts about New Orleans but I felt it lacked some authenticity. Very long and drawn out at some points and hard to follow
Good interesting stories and on a great night for a walk. Should tell customers to arrive 15 minutes ahead of time as our tour left before the listed time, thankfully we got there slightly early.
very professional and well organized, your guide was great it just felt like we were walking more than we were talking
Fun tour! Lenny was a great guide! Very informative and a delight. Loved that we had a little break in the middle to grab a drink and use the restroom at a haunted bar.
It was very interesting. Me and my kids loved the tour guide Adeley (not sure how to spell it). Wasn’t that scary but I do say it was worth the money and learned some cool stuff.
Margo was well informed about the local ghosts, the vampire community and fork lore in NOLA! And I am excited to share what I learned with others!! She was engaging and fun! I would recommend her to family and friends!
Fun - minimal cost ghost - totally worth the money. Easy to find with plenty of ghost stories and exploring of New Orleans
There are dozens of these ghost tours - you will pass most of them. Our guide was animated and prepared-I had just hoped for more history and detail about the French Quarter.
Eva was incredible!!! Eva handled our big group like a pro. SO glad we were on her tour, her historical context made every story better and well rounded. Spooky and funny and amazing!!
