Cuban Creations is an inviting and classy bar with comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. It's the only smoking bar in the French Quarter and serves some great historic New Orleans cocktails as its specialties.
Muriel's is considered the most haunted restaurant in the city. It's so famous they keep a table set for the ghost.
Hear the bloody legacy that build Jackson Square, and the story of ill-fated Spanish baroness held prisoner in a moated castle.
We'll briefly introduce voudou, and discuss the life, crimes, and secret power of Voudou Queen Marie Laveau. Oh, she also ran her own secret underground railroad. Routes vary, so tell your guide what stories you'd like included.
We'll see the amazing architecture of the French Quarter, and hear the bizarre, tragic, and sometimes, hilarious stories of those who lived in these buildings.
The oldest bar in New Orleans, and the oldest building to house a bar in the country. Here we will talk about famous pirate and New Orleans Legend, Jean Lafitte! (Drinks not included in cost of tour)
One of the most haunted hotels in the French Quarter, this location once held a... well, if we told you, you wouldn't want to go there!
The most terrifying story in New Orleans history, it also changed the way the city saw itself forever. A high society couple are exposed as the most inhuman serial killers of their age, leaving a house forever stained by its past.
The old Ursulines convent is the source of all the vampire legends in our fair city, some say. Actually, its the source of many legends, not all true.

You walk, it’s a great little tour with fun facts. Our tour guide was great. The purple drank was actually good. The flavor is purple. So do with that what you may, but you gotta drink it!
This was such a great tour and Thomas was AMAZING! He made the whole experience so fun and he was so knowledgeable! He animated every story and he was great to listen to and learn from! I highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Thomas if you can!!
Tracey our guide was the best, we got a spooky ghost Polaroid at the end of our tour in front of a haunted mansion.
Thanks for coming! And for taking the time to leave a review. We love working with Tracy!!
The tour was great. Dane was our guide and he kept the entire group engaged as he used his story telling skills to tell us about New Orleans history. There are a lot of options and I am glad we chose this one!
Thanks so much, Jenny, for your kind review, and for joining us!
Dane was so much fun and very knowledgeable on everything we asked. We explored all the well known places and even some other hidden gems. We didn't feel rushed, were able to take our time and soak in all the beauty.
Thank you so much for coming, and taking the time to respond with this great review!
The guide was great! She was very passionate and engaging! However, the "what to expect" didn't really happen. We were looking forward to visiting some of those places and the bars mentioned, but we only went to one bar, which was a hotel bar and not on the "what to expect" list. Just would have liked to have stuck to that since that is what intrigued us the most after reading it.
Thanks for joining us Traci! I guess we're a little bummed about this review. Because it was just the two of you and the guide customized the route for you, asking you what you'd like included. You mentioned the Originals, so she made sure to include stops where the show was filmed. If there were other stops you wanted to see, we just wish you'd spoken up when asked, or during the tour. We're happy to include anything you'd like to see! The tour did definitely go to TWO bars, so that's not strictly accurate. The guide said she did not make a third stop because the two of you had not gotten anything at the first two and didn't mention that as something you wanted to see. So, again I'd just say to anyone coming on the tour, speak up, tell the guide what you want! We're happy to do it!
This was so much fun! Our guide was personable and knowledgeable. It was one of our favorite things we did on this trip. Highly recommend it!
Y'all were the best! Thank you so much for the kind review!!
Josh was a sweet guy and told good stories and history. We ended up being the only 2 people on this tour, so it was a really nice touch to have Josh all to ourselves! I recommend a Sunday evening as it was much quieter in The Quarter.
That means a lot to us, given all your experience traveling. Thanks for coming, please keep in touch!
Such a fun tour and engaging guide! The guide added in additional stories for our group based on our interests throughout the tour. Loved the small group size. We were torn trying to pick a ghost tour for New Orleans, but this one was perfect! If you're looking for a really engaging, fact-based ghost tour with a bit of true crime, vampires, and local cocktails mixed in, then we highly recommend this tour!
Evan was very informative and knew a lot of NOLA history, especially the good stuff!! I highly recommend him! He gave us drink and potty breaks at great places, thank you sir!!
