    Disappointed

    Angie_M, Feb 2026
    No guide showed up. We were at the meeting place for over 40 minutes. We were very excited about this tour and so disappointed that it fell through. Got confirmation of payment and schedule but nothing else. No communication after that. Waiting for a refund.

    Good time

    Jeffrey_H, Mar 2025
    It’s an entertaining tour, tour guy was very knowledgeable. Place to stop halfway to get refreshments

    Rained out and no refund

    Charles_C, Dec 2024
    The tour started off well and our guide was very nice, but after two stops it’s started pouring down rain. We asked the guide if she could cancel it and she said that she wasn’t authorized to do so. We ended up leaving along with most of the other people on the tour. The tour company has a policy for this type of situation, but we have not received any refunds as of yet.

    Potentially great tour, but our guide was a poor presenter.

    rayesha_k, Dec 2024
    The tour guide provided us with little to no information and the brief information he gave was unrehearsed and sometimes inaccurate based on historical fact. The locations had potential to be a great historical tour, but our guide made it almost unbearable to be interested in it. Unfortunately, it felt as if we were watching a middle school presentation and he didn't believe the information he was relaying. During our tour multiple people left before the end of the session, and he did not seem concerned of their departure of safety. We tried to wait to ensure that they were accounted for, but he just continued walking leaving them behind forcing us to follow. The tour has potential to be great but I wish the guide was more professional and enthusiastic about the information provided.

    Meh

    Jennifer_J, Oct 2024
    The tour guide (I believe his name was Jason, but could be wrong) was definitely quirky. However, I don’t think the tour is worth the money. A lot of the information I could have got off Google & done a self-tour.

    Great tour

    Rachel_C, Oct 2024
    Our tour guide was so great, he kept us safe and he was funny and you could hear him. It was informative and fun! Thanks

    Disappointing

    Doreen_D, Oct 2024
    It was extremely difficult to hear anything the tour guide said because there were so many other tours going on around us at the same time as well as never-ending traffic. They need to offer tours with a microphone. Very disappointing and basically a waste of money in my opinion.

    Mediocre

    Laura_W, Oct 2024
    It was ok. I'm not sure if our tour guide was new, but I could barely hear him. He said "like" way too much, so it took away from the stories. He was super nice, but it looked like no one was really captivated by the stories.

    Excellent Informative Tour!

    Andrea_B, Oct 2024
    An excellent Tour with a Guide who was incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly, passionate about what he does and a lot of fun to be with during the evening. Would highly recommend!

    Disappointing

    Rita_K, Apr 2024
    The guide was energetic and helpful. Not his fault but the group was too large. The guide had to walk at the front so he could lead. Unfortunately, if you were further back, like us, you couldn’t hear a word. We wound up leaving the tour right after the rest stop. Wasn’t worth the money.

    Perfect for teens

    Russ_J, Mar 2024
    Perfect way to see the French Quarter. We had our teenage kids with us and they loved it. Donovan was a fantastic guide.

    Incredibly enjoyable

    Luis_P, Jan 2024
    Christian was phenomenal, I had so much fun listening to all his stories and knowledge of the city. It was a very cool experience and recommend everyone to go on the tour.

    Last min bad decision

    Lauren_M, Jan 2024
    The group story telling was long and didn't keep my attention. No where to stop for a drink, even water. It was a last min decision to go with friends and they were prepared and said the same.

    Great Tour

    Selina_M, Nov 2023
    I've been to NOLA a few times and I must say that this was such a great tour. It was awesome learning about the dark stories of the city. Donavan was such a great guide!!

    All the great info we learned about the different people around New Orleans and some crazy things they did while they were alive

    Great tour

    Nicole_R, Oct 2023
    Christian gave a great tour and shared interesting stories and history of the areas we toured. He ensured we were able to stop to get a drink and use the restroom which was really nice. Great tour guide and tour!

    Historical & Spooky

    Nicassia_E, Sep 2023
    Donovan did a great job! His storytelling was engaging. Although the topics were very heavy, it was interesting to hear about the dark history of the city.

    I loved it the history aspect tied into the ghost tour. Our tour did a really good job of giving us a history lesson about the city of New Orleans.

    Patricia_S, Mar 2023
    More of a haunted history tour than a ghost tour. Having said that, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. Would definitely recommend.

    Ali_A, Mar 2023
    Almost a third of the people in the tour were smoking - very unpleasant! Tour guide was good but issues related to slavery and mistreatment were talked about rather flippantly and without much regard for the human cost.

    Great fun!

    Jill_S, Dec 2022
    Great guide and super fun! I would definitely do it again. I think the guide makes the tour and Christian was fantastic!!

    Great tour!

    Patricia_H, Oct 2022

    Gabby was awesome! Her knowledge of New Orleans was impressive and her personality made the tour so enjoyable!

    Longer than expected, great information and can get very noisy in the streets

    Shelly_C, Aug 2022
    The tour was ok, we did it because we were handed off the brochure and I checked the reviews were great. We did the 8:30 PM tour, so we were asked to meet 15 mins prior which we did. Our tour was a 1 1/2 hour tour and should have ended at 10 PM. It ended just after 11 PM. Great information and communication. Would have preferred if we were given a heads up before proceeding to the next stop as the group size was about 20 making it difficult to keep up. I wouldnt do it again as I didnt really enjoy being on my feet for 3 hours straight. It is great if you dont mind being on your feet for that long. Also the streets were ery noisy, the tour stops in the middle of the street and we struggle to hear what the guide is saying admist the honking traffic. There is definitely room for improvement

    Gabby Rocks!

    Amber_K, Jun 2022
    Gabby was amazing! Great energy and so much knowledge! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for the best ghost tour in New Orleans. We loved it! Thanks!

    Great SPOOKY Tour in the Quarter

    Sarah_T, Jun 2022
    Christian was an amazing guide! He was knowledgeable and engaging. During the tour, we stopped at several infamous locations and got to hear stories of how they gained their infamy. Great tour!

    Gabby made it fun!

    Patricia_G, Apr 2022
    Our guide Gabby was very enthusiastic, friendly and interesting. She did a great job of bringing the stories to life with her dramatic telling of the tales. Our only complaint was that although she spoke loudly and clearly it was often difficult to hear her because of the size of the crowd and background noise.

    Lots of history

    AnnaLaura_P, Mar 2022
    The tour guide was excellent. The tour was very informational. I learned things I did not know before. Just know that the tour does not circle back to the starting point. I enjoyed it but know it is outdoors, some areas are dark, narrow streets, there is one stop at a bar where you can get a drink or use the restroom. Wear good shoes because the ground is at times unlevel and it's dark, can be slippery. This is a two-hour tour with much historical value. I would recommend it to people who would like to learn about history and haunted places.
