Wasn’t what we thought it would be. No need one else showed up- we didn’t even get to sit in the bar and enjoy our drinks, we carried our drinks out into the street and decided to go eat food at a restaurant!!! Not highly recommended.

We had a great time strolling the French Quarter with Dan! He is a prolific story teller and really engaged with our group even though we had a large number of people. The bars were interesting, nostalgic in their dimness and old floors and walls, and staffed by friendly, energetic servers. Most were busy and with limited restroom availability, and one was cash only, but with a variety of relatively inexpensive drinks (got a daquiri and a beer for $9 total at one place), and the nearby areas had many interesting tales that Dan knew well. A couple tips for participants: wear good shoes and more importantly, spend time with Dan between stops and stories. He has a wealth of local knowledge and historical details, and is happy to chat and answer questions. His enthusiasm was the best part of the tour!
Response from Host, Aug 2026

We walked off the tour. This was the worst walking tour we have ever been on. There wasn’t anything ghostly.

It was a fun tour, learned lots of interesting facts about New Orleans, visited 4 Pubs that I might not have known to go to without being on this tour. highly recommend. It was paced just right.
Alfred_M, Oct 2025
Loved my tour guide. He was the best, had a walking stick, didn’t get to catch his name. He had great stories and knew the area well..

Excellent haunted pub crawl with our guide, Dan. Told us chilling history of New Orleans and provided excellent suggestions of drinks at for bars we thoroughly enjoyed. We even went back to a few of the spots the next day. Would recommend to our friends visiting who want to experience some fun bars outside bourbon street.
Terry_K, Jun 2025
It was an awesome thing to do. Got to see alot of the city with Alot of walking. All 4 bars were worth the wait for drinks.
Dan was awesome and he was more than happy to answer any questions you had.
Lori_G, Nov 2024
If I could leave a 0 I would. I think our guide was drunk. She made no sense. The other tour we did last year had drink coupons we could use at bars/ this one did not. We left after 2 nonsense stops. The worst one we’ve ever done

I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy your tour. Thank you for your feedback and your concerns will be taken into consideration.

Peyton was an awesome guide! Very knowledgeable and great personality. It was such a fun experience. Went to 4 bars and were told about 6 haunted stories or so. It was nice they weren’t on Bourbon St. We went to the 7:30 on a Sunday night and timing was perfect. Were able to go to more pubs afterwards. Would highly recommend.
Sam_M, Oct 2024

We did not know there would be the annual Halloween Parade. Our tour guide Dan navigated the crowds and made the experience personalized. Enjoyed hearing the stories of the haunts with plenty of time at each bar.
Laura_M, Oct 2024
Mediocre….Way too many people in the party. Bar didn’t appear to know we were coming so had hard time getting drinks through the crowds.
Response from Host, Oct 2024

Angela_K, Sep 2024
This tour had wayyyyy too many people on it to be fun (our opinion only) By the second stop it was a bit boring. Not like other pub experiences we’ve had before. The guide was very nice but I felt like he would have rather been on a beach somewhere enjoying time with friends and family. We actually left the tour after the second stop. Also, we spent a lot of time just maneuvering 24-25 people.
Response from Host, Oct 2024

Jamie was very knowledgeable and entertaining- she’ a real rock star. Very dedicated to showing us a great time
Vanessa_S, Jul 2024
Disappointing...this was more of a History tour with some bars sprinkled in. I'm all for leaning about Historical figures but really wanted to hear about stories that lead to possible a haunting. The guide Uma was ok but said some political comments right out the gate that turned my group off.
KONNI_O, Jun 2024
Our Guide (Pierce) was an amazing guide on our back street pub crawl! Learning about the oldest bars in the city, and how 700 or so prisoners helped win a war, Madame Laveau, and that not all voodoo was used for bad! Thank you for the history lesson, one I will not forget!
