Itinerary

Your dance with the undead begins at nightfall, when the darker side of New Orleans emerges. Meet your theatrical local guide at Saint Louis Cathedral for chilling 2‐hour promenade through the French Quarter. As you walk, enjoy your guide’s rich storytelling full of folklore, funny yet freaky anecdotes, and ‘real’ vampire‐style scandals that promote local legend. 

Immerse yourself in the realm between fact and fiction as you see famous hotspots for the undead like a  renowned vampire bar and visit the filming site of Interview with a Vampire. Between stops, marvel at the timeless beauty of the French Quarter by night, and learn more about the city’s haunted history full of general wickedness and oddity. 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!).

Jan_B, Dec 2025
It was fun to learn vampire lore and New Orleans Lore. Gwiddeon was great and very theatrical in his story telling.

Awesome tour

jSparta1987, Dec 2025
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.

Waste of money

Radzell_R, Nov 2025
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.

Bad tour guide

Gigi_H, Nov 2025
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.

Vampire Tour in October

Gina_R, Oct 2025
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.

Absolutely unforgettable night

Brianna_B, Oct 2025
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.

Excellent tour

Rebecca_S, Sep 2025
The store was a very interesting mix of history and legends. We enjoyed visiting the different sites and hearing the stories.

Lots of fun on vampires

Paola_D, Aug 2025
This tour was both a mix of vampire lore and historical facts on the city, our guide was very interesting for that

Amazing

Crystal_M, Aug 2025
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!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

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.

Very Knowledgeable!

Linlu, Jul 2025
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 😊

Bailey_D, Jul 2025
Guide was very informative and funny. He knew a lot of history behind the city. I think he said his name was chase.

Well researched and great storytelling

Heather_N, Jun 2025
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...

Dominique_P, Jun 2025
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.

A True Love Letter to the Vampires of New Orleans

Erica_H, Jun 2025
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...

April_A, May 2025
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.

Visiting from NJ

paul_g, Feb 2025
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.

Fun! Scary!

Lori_A, Dec 2024

Thank you for your review!

This was the worst NOLA...

Kimberly_E, Nov 2024
This was the worst NOLA tour I have ever been on. And I have been on quite a few. I am from Louisiana and I was embarrassed for the way the tour guide acted to people in our group as well as those around. I do not recommend this tour guide.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you for your review. However, since you did not mention the name of your guide or specifically what the guide did to offend you, it will be difficult for me to address the problem. Additionally, all of our tour guides receive 5 Star reviews on a regular basis so without knowing the name of your guide I really can't address the issue.

Vampire Tour Gone Wrong

Crystal_W, Oct 2024
Our tour with Toast was not the best. He was very scattered with his story telling. We could barely hear him and I didn’t feel engaged with the tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

He no longer works here due to this sort of thing. We do not keep guides who are not giving quality tours.

What a treat to have a...

Hannah_J, Oct 2024
What a treat to have a great storyteller who grew up in the French Quarter guiding our tour last night! My boyfriend and I had a great time and would recommend this to anyone interested in a fun way to discover more about New Orleans. 10/10

Nothing. She did n everything perfect.

Beau_M, Oct 2024
The tour guide we had was amazing. Very artful and you could tell she cared about what she was doing.

Awesome experience

Mylinda_M, Oct 2024
Rose Sinister was an awesome tour guide. Full of myths, legends and facts mixed in. She had a great voice that was easy to hear, even in the chaos of the Quarter.

Worth the money!!

Shannon_W, Oct 2024
Entertaining, cool information and an awesome guide!!! Our guide was very knowledgeable of all the vampire lore. Loves the story of the casket girls and Carter brothers!! Wonder if they are still around???

Vampire Tour with Rose Sinister
