Fun stories, you’ll get to see where historical bars and hotels are. Walking on uneven pavement, drinks not included.
This was so interesting and our tour guide Jennifer really knew her stuff! So cool to walk around the city and see the French quarter from a different side!
Captain T was great! We had a small group which made it more enjoyable and personal. Captain T’s stories and information were fun and interesting. Throughly enjoyed ourselves!! Thanks again Captain T!
Jennifer was fun and entertaining! We went to several spooky storied bars and also interesting haunted history stops along the way. She knew the history and was a great story teller. Listen to her recommended drinks, I didn't always but my hubby did, she's got it figured out!
Jennifer was a great tour guide. She took us to some great spots. The hurricanes and pizza at the end were the best. Highly recommend!
We attended this tour in February 2026. Cassandra was the tour guide and was absolutely wonderful. She was very informative and kept the whole tour incredibly fun and engaging. We would highly recommend her for anyone who wants to take this tour!
Dan was a fantastic tour guide! Even though we had a very large group, the pacing of the tour was perfect and we loved the stories. Dan also hung around afterwards and took the time to answer specific questions and gave us some excellent recommendations for the rest of our time in New Orleans.
it was terrible, would never suggest this particular tour, I have been on other ghost tours , this was by far the least entertaining.
We had a great time strolling the French Quarter with Dan! He is a prolific story teller and really engaged with our group even though we had a large number of people. The bars were interesting, nostalgic in their dimness and old floors and walls, and staffed by friendly, energetic servers. Most were busy and with limited restroom availability, and one was cash only, but with a variety of relatively inexpensive drinks (got a daquiri and a beer for $9 total at one place), and the nearby areas had many interesting tales that Dan knew well. A couple tips for participants: wear good shoes and more importantly, spend time with Dan between stops and stories. He has a wealth of local knowledge and historical details, and is happy to chat and answer questions. His enthusiasm was the best part of the tour!
We walked off the tour. This was the worst walking tour we have ever been on. There wasn’t anything ghostly.
