A good experience and a discovery of the marshes
A fun jaunt through the French Quarter with ghost stories grounded in the history and culture of this city. Trulie was amazing! She told the stories with honesty, sensitivity, and with a nod to pop culture and humor when she could. A great way to orient yourself to the sights while learning about what makes New Orleans the risqué, fabulous, diverse and hauntingly tragic, endlessly entertaining hub of culture. Worth every penny!
Henry did an amazing job, mixing history with ghost stories, and providing plenty of lagniappe (which he taught us about, too!).
I liked the history. Truly our guide told us stories about the sites to make the history interesting.
The ghost tour was a fun way to spend an evening in the Quarter. Our tour guide, AJ, was funny and informative. I appreciated that the tour was not gimmicky and dispelled cheesy ghost stories while sharing the real stories of New Orleans.
Truly was awesome!! She made the tour fun and offered some fun facts (I did not know about the Rolex watch face fact)! She asked if there were any the Originals fans (guilty!) and pointed out some spots relevant to the show, which was so cool! She also pointed out some local spots like MRB which was such a good bar. We loved her!!
Thank you Capt. Frank, It was a fantastic time, great family memories. Enjoyed the beauty of the tour. Have a great thanksgiving
This is NOT a ghost tour. Much more like a history of New Orleans French quarter tour. It wasn’t spooky/scary at all. We were disappointed.
We have a really fun time on the Ghost and Vampire tour of the French Quarter with our guide, Henry. He kept the tour moving so we could cover a lot of ground, and he was a natural storyteller who knew how to mix the historical with the fantastical.
Carl made the Ghost Tour special. He is a historian, super knowledgeable, and really did his work at the archives of New Orleans. If you walk with him you are in for a treat. Not only does he give you the facts and ghost stories that are told around town, but also does he answer every possible question. He brings a good mood and lots of energy to the table and caters to everybody's needs. The Ghost Tour was fantastic, and I know a lot more about the city now.
