By the end of tour, you’ll understand why New Orleans is an ideal backdrop for classic and contemporary vampire myth (or real‐life vampire activity!).

It's a fun experience and the tour guide I had was wonderful and full of life. A couple bar spots were recommended and stopped at. Would recommend!
My family was very disappointed by this tour. We’ve done ghost tours in multiple historic cities, and I was so excited to learn the historical stories and vampire lore in New Orleans. Unfortunately, the tour guide was so verbose and theatrical that it was difficult to understand and hear him. This time, the drama significantly detracted from my desire to continue listening. Additionally, the approximately 3 stories we heard in a 90 minute tour could have been effectively delivered in less than 5 minutes each.
Im really sorry to leave such a review, but this is my honest feedback. I still love learning about cities this way but would opt for a different tour next time.
I cannot spell our guides name but he was not my favorite. He was more into the folklore parts of vampires which I do not mind but I do prefer having someone that talks more about the actual vampires and where they may have lived rather than debunking theories. He was very into the dramatics and he was very good at that but it just wasn’t what I had thought it would be. I was looking for old vampire tales not movie vampire stuff although even that would have been more intriguing for me. Tour guide was not terrible and his theatrics were entertaining I would have just preferred a different direction with the overall tour.
Tour guide was very entertaining
He told us some great stories. He told us some great local folklore.
You get a lot of vampire knowledge and lore and scenery is first class New Orleans...................,................
Soren was a great host and guide! He definitely left me wanting to tell everyone I know that these are some of the best tours! Not overcrowded and fairly intimate tour, definitely will recommend to other and do the tour again!
just so fun, i was on a dad daughters trip we do every year, we went back to places pointed out and ate and had drinks, was excellent
This was to be a vampire tour and the guide spoke about ghosts more than vampires. It also seemed like the guide assumed everyone was an expert on vampires and gave no background on what vampires are.
Tour guide appeared to be drunk from the beginning of the tour and frequently lost his train of thought. The tour goes on for a little too long and seems more like a theater production rather than a tour around New Orleans. The stories could’ve definitely been interesting but seemed very long winded at times.
Great tour, very informative and entertaining. Well worth the time and a great value. Would definitely take another tour with Gwydion.
It was a great experience! However it was more about ghosts stories and experiences than vampires stories
Great tour really enjoyed the vampire stories that our tour guide gave us and ability to ask questions. Thankful for the bar break too !!!!

It was fun to learn vampire lore and New Orleans Lore. Gwiddeon was great and very theatrical in his story telling.
My wife and I did this tour with Gwidon who was informative and fun. He brought the history and folklore of both French Quater and vampires to life. 10/10 recommend him and would happily take this (or really any) tour with him again.
Left me and my friends behind. Groups are far too large for the tour guide to keep up . No refund or reschedule. What a scam.
The tour guide was walking so fast we lost her trying to keep up with her with all the crowds. In a very crowded area you would think she would stop and check on us
Fun, tour guide told a good stories and was very friendly. Meeting time was perfect for a night tour.
We had Rose as our guide and she led us through various areas while sharing some folklore, culture, history, and true crime stories. Great storyteller! There was a super quick restroom break in the middle which was nice. It was a fun tour overall! Definitely recommend it.
Fascinating tales of the macabre in historic New Orleans. Absolutely incredible. Our tour guide was Rose Sinister. She was a fabulous. storyteller. She shared original research as well as the tried and true local lore. She had an amazing delivery and was extremely personable. We loved the tour and we loved her. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
The store was a very interesting mix of history and legends. We enjoyed visiting the different sites and hearing the stories.
This tour was both a mix of vampire lore and historical facts on the city, our guide was very interesting for that
Rose is amazing! She's entertaining, personable, and veryyy knowledgeable. You can see the love she has of her city and its very rich history, paranormal and normal. We would book again and hopefully get Rose!

Thank you for your lovely review on Rose‘s tour. She is an exceptional Guide. We appreciate your business and we hope that you’ll visit us again.
Rose was our tour guide, and she was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of New Orleans history. She had a great sense of humor and was always entertaining. Please request her as you will not regret it 😊
Guide was very informative and funny. He knew a lot of history behind the city. I think he said his name was chase.
Rose was an amazing guide full of knowledge and lore. She really drew us in and woven the history of New Orleans into her stories. Highly recommend
Rose is so amazing, hands down my favorite tour guide I've had here! She was so knowledgeable and so funny, loved hearing her storytelling. Everything she said had me enthralled at every word. I would most definitely take another tour with her, just to hear her exclamations about history.
Rose was absolutely incredible on our vampire tour. Her deep knowledge and passion for New Orleans’ haunted and vampiric history truly brought each story to life. You could feel her emotion and dedication in every tale she told—each joke delivered with love, and every legend shared with deep respect for the traditions that shaped this city.
Thanks to curators like Rose, the dark and beautiful legacy of New Orleans endures—where the undead still whisper through alleyways and legends linger like mist, forever woven into the soul of the city.
I really enjoyed this experience. Rose is a great storyteller! She's taken the time to learn about history and myths and it shows throughout the tour. I'd recommend the tour to anyone who has an interest in vampires or is just looking for something different to do.
We were so excited to get Rose after seeing all of her great reviews. Her personality shined through with her goth, quirky and animated story telling. She gave us an excellent mix of actual history along with the more modern era history. Her story telling and knowledge of the vampire history/lure was very accepting. Thanks so much for a great time.
It was really fun. Informative and spooky. 👻 Rose was our tour guide! She was great. 🤗😝 She knew a lot about the city and was well researched.
