If you’re debating whether to take this tour in the middle of a New Orleans summer, here’s the honest answer: the 100° weather is no joke. We expected to melt.
But our guide, Morgan, made it more than worth it.
From the moment she appeared with her impeccably witchy aesthetic (right down to the iconic umbrella), we knew we were in for something special. Her knowledge of New Orleans’s occult history was fascinating, and she told each story with a perfect mix of humor, history, and spooky charm. Even without having seen American Horror Story: Coven, we were completely captivated.
Morgan’s real strength is the depth of her storytelling—she shares details you won’t find in a typical guidebook. We learned so much about New Orleans’s occult history and the persecution of alleged witches in the South that it genuinely expanded my perspective. As an English teacher who teaches The Crucible and has studied the Salem witch trials extensively, I was still impressed by how much I learned. She also has a great instinct for her audience; after chatting with me, she recommended Mutinous Women by Joan DeJean, which perfectly matched my interests. I even went to a local independent bookstore afterward to buy it, wanting to support a local business and take home a piece of New Orleans I might not have discovered otherwise.
What stood out just as much was how well she managed the brutal heat. She kept us in the shade whenever possible, reminded everyone to stay hydrated, and paced the tour so no one felt rushed or overheated. Despite the extreme temperatures, we stayed comfortable the entire time thanks to her attentiveness.
The weather was relentless, but it never overshadowed the experience. Morgan’s care for the group made the tour even better.
If you’re interested in New Orleans’s witchcraft, folklore, and occult history, don’t let the forecast deter you. With Morgan as your guide, this tour is absolutely worth it.
We’d book another tour with her in a heartbeat and hope to do so sooner than later. 🩷🧙🌙

What a delight! This walking tour through the beautiful Garden District was more than I expected. I learned so much lore about witches and everything that makes them unique. Celebrities and their connections to history of the beautiful city of New Orleans. Hannah Kate is clearly passionate about the history of New Orleans and spreading knowledge to the all curious people. She was open to questions and it was the highlight of my trip being able to learn and see such a beautiful part of the garden district. Highly recommend requesting her for this tour and the other tours around town that she participates with.

We went on the witches walking tour in the garden district and it was amazing! Our tour guide, Lacey, was so knowledgeable and very kind answering my many questions. The history and the homes we learned about was fascinating and she had great recommendations for local witchcraft shops. I would most definitely recommend.

Thank you again for the recommendation. We would love to welcome you back anytime for more New Orleans history and lore. ✨
Molly_B, May 2026
This was the best way to start off our trip to New Orleans! The only way to learn about some of the current and past practicing witch families in New Orleans, who shared their stories directly with the tour company. Our tour guide Morgan was incredibly knowledgeable of the city, its history and witchcraft and answered all of our questions. She made the tour super entertaining and gave us some great recommendations for the rest of our trip. It was an awesome way to see some of the famous houses in the Garden District. Definitely wear comfortable shoes! Would recommend this to anyone interested in witches, or even just in New Orleans history.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review.
We are so honored that the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour was the start of your New Orleans experience. Sharing stories that have been entrusted directly to us by practicing witch families is something we take very seriously, and we are grateful you felt the authenticity and care behind the experience.
Morgan brings such incredible knowledge, energy, and heart to the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour, and I love hearing that she helped make the history, witchcraft, and architecture come alive while also giving you recommendations to continue exploring the city.
And yes, comfortable shoes are definitely part of the adventure in the Garden District.
Thank you again for the recommendation. We would love to welcome you back anytime for more New Orleans stories and magic. ✨
Jennifer_D, May 2026
Great tour today with Lacey. We made it all the way even with the looming thunderstorm threat. Keep in mind the age of the area where you're walking. Tree roots have upheaved sidewalks, wear smart shoes. If you're staying in the French Quarter take the St. Charles streetcar for added fun.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for joining us on the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour! We are thrilled you had a great experience with Lacey, even with the weather trying to keep things interesting.
You also gave excellent advice. The Garden District is beautiful and historic, but those centuries old oak roots definitely keep the sidewalks adventurous. Smart shoes are always a good call.
And yes, taking the St. Charles streetcar from the French Quarter is absolutely part of the magic. It is one of the best ways to ease into the experience before the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour even begins.
We truly appreciate you sharing this and hope to see you again on another New Orleans adventure.
Melissa_W, Apr 2026
Hannah Kate was an excellent tour guide. She was an amazing storyteller and knew her history. It was refreshing to hear real stories and not elaborate tales.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for joining us on the Witches Coven Walking Tour in New Orleans! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time with Hannah Kate. Her storytelling and commitment to real, grounded history are exactly what make her tours so special.
We love hearing that the authenticity stood out to you. That means more to us than any kind thing people could say.
Hope to see you again soon! 🖤🌙
Jasmine_S, Apr 2026
Lacey was well knowledgeable and it was nice to get some personable experience. She took the time to discuss all of the history in depth. We had a good time! Unfortunately there isn't a cemetery "tour" perse and the website was misleading. Not her fault.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for joining us on the Witches Coven Walking Tour in New Orleans and for your thoughtful feedback. We’re so glad you had a good time with Lacey and enjoyed the depth of history and her personal approach. She truly cares about making the experience meaningful.
We also appreciate you mentioning the cemetery expectation. We do stop at the gates to share the history and traditions, but we understand how that could feel different than a full cemetery tour. Your feedback helps us continue to improve how we communicate that.
We’re really glad you spent your time with us and hope to see you again soon. 🖤🌙🏡
Liz_S, Apr 2026
Lacey was fantastic. The walk was beautiful the history was fascinating. Highly recommend taking this tour. We enjoy tours and have taken all the Voodoo, vampire and ghost tours NOLA has to offer this was a refreshing new look at NOLA's past and present.

Shannon_C, Apr 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable about houses history’s but not heavily witch based. Enjoyed the Rice recommendations.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
I am shocked to see this review. Our entire tour is about the real witches in the Garden District and is extreme on this history of it.
I looked up who your guide was and she does the entire tour about what has happened with the witches families and how we practice.
The houses histories IS all about the witches stories. I'm not sure what you were looking for but our booking info clearly states, and more than once, that this is not a make believe tour and not based on tv and movies. It's all real life.
You can see from our other reviews that it is 100% witch based.
I would hate for people to see this review and think we aren't giving the tour we advertise. We are. What we aren't doing is a fictionalized tour. Is that perhaps what you were looking for?
Kari_M, Mar 2026
The tour was interesting and left me with a mission to search out many of the stories told. Our guide Hannah was knowledgeable and a great guide, pausing for questions and giving us time to look around. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for joining us on the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour.
I love that it left you wanting to dig deeper. That is exactly what we hope for. The stories do not end when the walk does. They follow you, invite you back, and ask you to keep exploring.
Hannah Kate has a wonderful way of creating space for questions while still guiding the experience with depth and intention. I am so glad you felt that balance and had time to really take it all in.
We truly appreciate the recommendation of the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour and would love to welcome you back for another chapter of New Orleans history. ✨
Ricardo_D, Mar 2026
Lacey is the best!!! Great information and I loooove that she loves Anne Rice. We saw so many cool sights and for those that love American Horror Story, you are in for a treat! Mark Twain you rascal (if you know you know ) lol
Response from Host, Mar 2026
This made us smile. Thank you so much for joining us on the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour.
Lacey really is the best, and that love for Anne Rice always sneaks its way into the stories in the most perfect way. Between literary legends, a few familiar American Horror Story moments, and those little “if you know, you know” details, the Garden District becomes something entirely different when you walk it with her.
We are so glad you had fun with the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour. Come back and see us again. We have plenty more stories, and a few more rascal moments, waiting for you. ✨
Eliza_W, Mar 2026
It was very knowledgeable Lacey was the best! Highly recommended for witches or people wanting knowledge
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for joining us on the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour! We love hearing that Lacey made such a strong impression.
She brings such depth of knowledge and passion to the experience, and she has a way of making the history feel both accessible and meaningful, whether you come in with a deep interest in witchcraft or just curiosity.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime for more New Orleans stories. ✨
Julianne_C, Feb 2026
Lacey was fantastic!! She was very knowledgeable, she kept it very fun and interesting. This tour shared a lot of great facts and interesting history behind the homes. Our family thoroughly enjoy it
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for joining us on the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour! I love hearing that Lacey made it such a fun and engaging experience for your family.
She truly has a gift for blending solid history with lively storytelling, especially when it comes to the homes and the layered stories behind those grand facades. The Garden District is stunning on the surface, but it becomes something much richer when you understand the context, the people, and the spiritual undercurrents woven into it.
We are so glad your family thoroughly enjoyed the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour. Next time you are back in New Orleans, come see us again. We have plenty more stories waiting for you. ✨
Nicole_S, Feb 2026
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was a wonderful storyteller. The history and context provided along the tour were super interesting and I loved that we got what felt like some pretty juicy local lore and gossip too. A great way to learn about New Orleans and the Garden District.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
This makes us so happy to read. Thank you for joining us on the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour and for taking the time to share this.
We believe history should feel alive, layered, and yes… sometimes a little juicy. The Garden District holds so many stories beneath those oak trees and iron gates, and weaving together documented history with local lore is part of what makes the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour such a rich experience.
I’m thrilled you felt like you got depth, context, and a little well placed gossip along the way. That is very New Orleans.
Come back and see us next time you’re in town. We have plenty more stories waiting for you. ✨
Adey_C, Feb 2026
Lacey was absolutely fantastic. Had a decent pace around the tour. She gave great information and answered everyone's questions with passion and knowledge. Right amount of fun trivia to help along the way.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for spending time with us on the Witches Coven Garden District Walking Tour! Lacey truly has a gift. She knows how to keep a comfortable pace, layer in rich history, and still sprinkle in those little bits of trivia that make everything stick. It never feels rushed, and it never feels dry. That balance is intentional.
We’re so glad you felt her passion and depth of knowledge. That tour is close to our hearts, and having a guide who can answer every question with confidence and enthusiasm makes all the difference.
Next time you’re back in New Orleans, come see us again. We have more stories, more neighborhoods, and more history waiting for you. ✨
Terri_R, Jan 2026
She did a good job talking about the tour and explaining I would definitely take a friend to her she was nice
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for this review. I'm thrilled to kno you enjoyed the tour. It's important to us that the true history is told and not the folklore. We work hard to make it happen and we truly appreciate you taking the tour
