This is a walking tour! Be prepared and wear the correct shoes. We learned so much about the history of the beautiful city, and had some spooks along the way. It’s one of the best ways to explore the French quarter in New Orleans! I hope to come back and bring my husband along next time.

Stella gave a stellar performance on our tour of New Orleans. Her small frame packed a powerful voice & she had a great command of the soooky history of New Orleans.
Jordon_R, Jul 2026
This was a great tour experience. Our guide Arty was fantastic and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable.

One of the best ghost tours - wonderful storyteller. Drew did an excellent job. This ghost tour tells some of the history of the city with folk lore.
Amber_P, Jun 2026
Arty was knowledgeable, fun and made the tour interesting. I heard stories I haven’t before, and I’ve been to NOLA on ghost tours a few times.
Monica_L, Jun 2026
It was a nice experience. There is a lot of history. Could have done it for 4 hours. I was intrigued the whole time.
Kelli_K, Jun 2026
Very little walking. We stayed in same spot over 25 minutes. Guidelines was nice but it was not the tour we thought we were doing or had done previously. We were party of 10 and left an hour early.
Kyla_F, Jun 2026
We enjoyed the tour! Christine (I believe that was our guide's name) was knowledgeable, funny, and kept everyone engaged. The bar stop midway through was a fun bonus. We took the 6:00 p.m. tour, and while we enjoyed it, it wasn't very spooky, so those looking for a more eerie experience may want to book a later tour. Overall, it was a great experience!
Elizabeth_H, Jun 2026
Disappointing. This was a walking tour to view, from the outside, a few buildings where tragic events took place. It was intermingled with a few of the guides ghost stories You don't go into any buildings. It wasn't what we were expecting a ghost touri to be for the $30 it cost. Didn't waste your money.
Stephanie_C, Jun 2026
Gives you the background history that you may not actually hear about or read. It was a fun evening shared with my husband. Definitely recommend Ariande as your tour guide. She was knowledgeable and kept you interested.
Steven_M, Jun 2026
Ariadne was the best! Her story telling is phenomenal and her jokes kept things fun. I loved the way she added her personal ghost stories to an already spooky tour.
Jennifer_B, Jun 2026
We waited a half hour and found out that the driver was in an accident and and the tour wouldn’t be happening. (We understand that wasn’t in anyone’s control and no one’s fault). We can not give it a fair rating because it didn’t go on.

Bob was very informative, and we enjoyed our experience.
It was easy to find and a fun way to see more of the French Quarter.
Kayla_M, Jun 2026
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!
Camille_O, Jun 2026
We really enjoyed this tour. Very interesting history & hauntings. Your guide was friendly too. We had to clip it shorter because the heat was unbearable for me wish we would've had the time to do the nighttime one but were leaving NOLA by a certain time. Would recommend though.
Dawn_M, Jun 2026
Ariadne our tour guide was truly amazing. She was the best story teller and told many true stories about the ghostly encounters on this tour. What a joy to have such an amazing individual leading your guests into the paranormal streets of New Orleans!! Highly recommend the 8pm tour.
David_S, Jun 2026
Our family and friends who were with us had a great time walking this guided tour. We did this 3 years ago with our older kids when they turned 21. This was our 2nd trip with our younger kids who turned 21. Definitely an easy walkable tour.
Adelina_C, Jun 2026
Yaya was an amazing tour guide. Outgoing, full of energy, and great narrator. Highly recommend. We had a great time.
Dorothy_R, Jun 2026
Wasn't as good as we were expecting. Tour guide was informative but more walking and less substance than we expected.
Nels_A, Jun 2026
It was hard to hear the guide on a Saturday night tour. There was a lot of background noise and unless you were right next to her you couldn’t hear. Also, the two spots we could actually go inside during the pit stop for a restroom/drink break, she did not tell us that they were haunted until after we were done with the break, so we did not even go inside the second one (Blacksmiths shop).
Jennifer_G, May 2026
Very fun and interesting but your guides shoukd wear microphone otherwise very difficult to hear the stories.
Adriana_P, May 2026
First before you head out is wear comfortable shoes. Our haunted history guide Ariadne was wonderful! Kept us all engaged.
Sabrina_B, May 2026
Ariadne was an amazing tour guide. She is very well informed about the cities history and made this tour fun and very informative.
Kevin_J, May 2026
We had a wonderful tour walking around the French Quarter with Ms. Yah Yah!!! She brought all the energy and a true historian! Highly recommend this tour!
Marion_H, May 2026
Arti was a great guide and told the history in a very engaging way. It was our first tour of our stay so we learned a lot about NO right away! It wasn’t a tour to see or experience ghosts, more to learn why & where the ghosty spots are in Fr Qtr. Worth a listen!
Damaris_P, May 2026
Great tour -- very informational. Stella was incredible and she was very clear about the way the tour operates which cut down on unnecessary questions and complications throughout.
Lauren_M, May 2026

Jason_T, May 2026

Gideon was funny, entertaining, he made every true crime fun and it was nice to see where things took place and to stand in the spot that these tragedies happened
Tammy_C, May 2026
I had the tour guide Gideon, and he was entertaining, informative, and the haunting that we visited was interesting, some i knew and some i didn't.
