This tour was very fun!! My husband and I had the pleasure of going on this one-hour tour and hearing the most interesting and memorable haunting stories of the French Quarter, beautifully delivered by Royale, best tour guide! We only paid $70 for both of us and after the tour, we included a tip for our guide, as she was very eloquent and funny with her delivery. Hearing the stories from her was the best part indeed. We were a pretty small group of people, so the experience was even more intimate, which made it all that much easier to enjoy, interact, ask questions and share some laughter. This made it the best tour if you’re trying to get a mild scare, but also enjoy some laughs and fun in the process with the side commentary by your tour guide.
Incredibly fun and informative. Royale was amazing! Def recommend!
Great tour guide, great stops, great NOLA lore. Fantastic bonus 3 stops!
HI Brent, thank you for your great review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the tour and the mix of stops and NOLA lore along the way.

Hi Stephanie, thank you for your ghostly awesome review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your tour with Bryant. His engaging storytelling and thoughtful approach to making sure everyone feels included really make the experience special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
It had very little ghost content and mostly just property history on a handful of houses. Try the other tours as I overheard many and they sounded much more entertaining.
Hi Tammy, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the tour did not meet your expectations, and this is not up to our normal standards, as we are used to getting great feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know, and we’d encourage you to reach out to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com so our team can look into this further and assist you directly.
A disappointing experience - the tour guide was targeting a 20-something audience with her presentation so I missed much of her references to pop culture. And there were a lot of them. Ugh. So it wasn’t frightening at all. Plus there were only two of us on the tour because the other people canceled so that made it awkward. This tour was ‘recommended’ but other groups we passed had 10-15 people in them and their guides sounded better prepared. Booked this online - I suggest booking in person so you know what kind of tour you are buying.
