Dan was a fantastic tour guide! Even though we had a very large group, the pacing of the tour was perfect and we loved the stories. Dan also hung around afterwards and took the time to answer specific questions and gave us some excellent recommendations for the rest of our time in New Orleans.

Dan is awesome!

do not waste your time or money

DEBORAH_P, Apr 2026
it was terrible, would never suggest this particular tour, I have been on other ghost tours , this was by far the least entertaining.

A lovely, spirited evening!

Kathryn_K, Apr 2026
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!

Don’t waste your time

Kelly_B, Apr 2026
We walked off the tour. This was the worst walking tour we have ever been on. There wasn’t anything ghostly.

Great guide! Captain T...

greta7b, Mar 2026
Great guide! Captain T was very knowledgeable about the history and legends of all the locations we walked by or stopped at

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...

Karen_D, Jun 2025
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.

Pub crawl Thumbs up.

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.

Not this tour- spend your money someone else

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

Response from Host, Nov 2024

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

Great guide, great experience!

Tristen_L, Oct 2024
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.

Recommended Bar Crawl

Our tour guide Joshua was super knowledgeable and made the tour exciting. The variety of bars was great and the drinks were delicious! Would highly recommend the tour!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave review, we're glad that you had a great time.

Halloween Crowds

Amy_R, 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.

Our guide did a nice job and we enjoyed the stories. Not his fault.

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

I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your tour. New Orleans is very busy this time of year. With that being said we make sure to notify the bars with the number of guest that are on our tours everyday.

Surpassed my expectations!! Our tour guide, Joshua, was AMAZING! His knowledge of the New Orleans history and his story telling skills were spot on!! He really made our experience memorable! Thank you!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're glad that you had a great time and enjoyed the tour.

Might skip this experience!

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

I'm sorry that you were not able to enjoy your tour. We do have different capacities in different areas, please reach back out to us about your experience at info@ghostcitytours.com

Kudos for Jamie

Craig_I, Jul 2024
Jamie was very knowledgeable and entertaining- she’ a real rock star. Very dedicated to showing us a great time

Disappointed

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.

Not All Voodoo is Used Badly

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!

Great time!

Katrina_H, Jun 2024
Great tour guide Lisa!! Excellent drinks and fun stories! Our group was small enough that you got to know each other and have a great time together!

Spooky Fun

Hannah_P, Jun 2024
We went on this tour as part of a bachelorette party. Had a lot of fun and heard some great ghost stories from our all-star tour guide Uma! Would recommend to a friend. Remember to wear comfortable shoes!

LOVED this tour

Caitlyn_M, May 2024
We had a fantastic tour guide, Lisa! We loved hearing all of the stories and she answered our many questions. The tour itself was amazing and we can't wait to come back and do it again.

Awesome guided tour

Robin_D, Apr 2024
Lisa was an excellent tour guide. She is knowledgable and entertaining. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Not Enough History

Michelle_K, Apr 2024
The ghost stories were ok but thought it was going to more history like the one I hade taken in another city. Was a little disappointed on that end. The guide was a great lady!

A must do

Kayla_h, Apr 2024
Such a fun time! Our guide mistress of the dark was amazing. And the history was great. We loved hearing the stories and it is amazing that she did her own research to give us more.

A fun tour

Cody_m, Mar 2024
Meeting new people and learning more about the city there was a lot of neat history and the tour guides where great
