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
Cheryl_J, Jun 2026
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
Rosie_M, May 2026
Very entertaining and historical , our tour guide was very passionate about the stories he told. Highly recommend Randy Johnson
Lynn_R, May 2026
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.
Amanda_S, Apr 2026
Wonderful tour guide Adelaide! Wish we were able to cover more topics in a two hour span but very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Angelina_A, Apr 2026
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
Jessica_C, Apr 2026
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.
Frances_B, Mar 2026
very professional and well organized, your guide was great it just felt like we were walking more than we were talking
Brittany_R, Mar 2026
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.
Britani_C, Mar 2026
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.
Patty_Z, Mar 2026
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!
Paul_P, Mar 2026
Fun - minimal cost ghost - totally worth the money. Easy to find with plenty of ghost stories and exploring of New Orleans
Laura_P, Mar 2026
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.
Mishi_G, Mar 2026
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!!
Susan_T, Mar 2026
Entertaining stories of violent New Orleans history from tour guide Margo. Wasn't too long of a walk.
John_D, Mar 2026
Fun experience with good stories that were clearly a bit embellished but totally appropriate given the atmosphere. Guide was very helpful with location/orientation of streets. Very friendly and courteous. Easy to hear and understand. You're given a short break about halfway through to use a restroom and/or get a drink somewhere. I had taken a small group of high school students and some adult chaperones. Great experience; everyone loved it.
Vincent_B, Mar 2026
Michael was a great tour guide and storyteller. We learned so much about the Ghost & Vampires of the French Quarter. Excellent experience! Highly recommend.
Vanessa_R, Mar 2026
I had a great time on the vampire and ghost tour in New Orleans! Margot was fun, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job blending the city’s rich history with ghost sightings and vampire lore. Her storytelling made the tour both entertaining and informative, and she kept the group engaged the entire time.
One suggestion for the tour company would be to include photos of captured sightings or reported paranormal activity during the tour. It would add an extra layer of intrigue and help bring some of the stories even more to life.
Kelley_W, Feb 2026
Not good. Tour was only about an hour even though it was advertised as 2 hr. Only visited 4 spots. There were several children in the group and the guy had jokes about STD’s, strippers, said he was selling weed, wanting to buy weed among many other very inappropriate jokes. More jokes than history or legend. Definitely not worth the money. Too many other better options out there
Rayna_C, Jan 2026
Yvette was an amazing guide. She put so much thought into the stories she told us and ensured we all had a good experience. I had an excellent time and learned so much from her, I would gladly have her as a tour guide again!!
Ashley_A, Jan 2026
Randy is a gem and a fabulous tour guide. He was informative, engaging, and funny to boot! He spoke of delicate topics with respect and the tour never felt exploitative. Highly recommend this tour—and very much appreciated the bathroom break halfway. Thank you!

Angela was a great guide. Not only knowledgeable but enjoyable to listen to. Perfect amount of time. Great tour!
Hannah_F, Jan 2026
Great tour guide who distinguished history from legends. The walking distance was easy and manageable.
