Twilight Tour: Hauntings para preadolescentes (8-12 años)
Descripción
Nuestro Tour Crepúsculo fue creado para niños de primaria superior, aquellos que están listos para preguntas más profundas, pensamiento crítico y curiosidad sobre los "qué pasaría si". Al igual que nuestro Spooky Tour, nos centramos en la historia real, los relatos documentados y las experiencias reales presenciadas en los recorridos. Sin embargo, el Twilight Tour profundiza más que el Spooky Tour. Las historias son más detalladas con más oportunidades para interactuar con el reino espiritual. El recorrido es interactivo: los niños nunca se pondrán en peligro, pero se les animará a probar algo nuevo, algo que no olvidarán pronto. Nueva Orleans es una ciudad mágica y misteriosa. En este tour para niños de 8 a 12 años, se irán intrigados, encantados y quizás un poco asustados. Nuestro recorrido es único porque es amigable para los niños: sin violencia, sin sangre, ni temas y lenguaje "para adultos". ¡Lo mantenemos limpio!

Itinerario
El recorrido comienza en el Convento de las Antiguas Ursulinas, donde las familias aprenderán sobre las monjas de las Ursulinas y su papel fundamental en el rescate de la colonia de una fatalidad segura. Se enterarán de las chicas del ataúd, enviadas aquí para casarse con los jóvenes colonos, pero se rumorea que han traído un poco más que sus vestidos de novia a la colonia ...
La historia de esta mansión atrajo a Nicholas Cage lo suficiente como para comprar la casa, y Hollywood lo suficiente como para crear American Horror Story basada en ella. Las familias escucharán lo que sucedió aquí (¡versión para niños!), Así como también cómo se supo la verdad. Se compartirán fantasmas a lo largo de los siglos y en giras pasadas, así como un intento de comunicarse con Madame Lalaurie ...
Enseñaremos a las familias sobre la familia de inmigrantes irlandeses / criollos que vivieron aquí - y murieron aquí - en el siglo XIX. Los rituales de duelo de esta ciudad católica, durante la época victoriana, se explorarán con antigüedades encantadas para que los niños las vean y las guarden (¡si se atreven!). * No entramos aquí, pero es un museo que definitivamente vale la pena visitar.
En esta tienda, las familias aprenderán sobre Lafitte, el pirata más poderoso de la Nueva Orleans del siglo XIX. Escucharán sobre algunas de sus apariciones más conocidas aquí, así como las experimentadas en giras pasadas. Los niños podrán usar una herramienta de detección de fantasmas para medir la presencia de espíritus. (Los adultos pueden entrar mientras estamos detenidos aquí).
Terminaremos el recorrido aquí, aprendiendo sobre nuestra famosa sacerdotisa vudú, Marie Laveau. Las familias aprenderán sobre la historia del vudú en Nueva Orleans, su conexión con África occidental y Haití. También se compartirán reliquias de viajes a Haití y museos vudú. Los niños también aprenderán y crearán una bolsa gris-gris basada en investigaciones históricas. * ¡No entramos en el museo, aunque animamos a las familias a que lo visiten!

This was a fun experience for the 8 year old. The history of the Quarter and the spooky tragedies that occurred were taught in a great way that helped look beyond the surface of the buildings. Well done.
Tour was really well done. Props for the kids made it fun and the guide was informative.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!! I'm glad the tour was fun. The hands-on component is our secret sauce for keeping kids engaged! I hope you enjoyed your rest of your time in New Orleans!
We took the Twilight Tour with two 10-year-olds and two adults and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We've taken standard ghost tours before which resulted in our kids being too afraid to sleep for a few nights, and this tour was PERFECT in terms of what was shared. It was spooky but not scary, and the kids were engaged the whole time. There were great stories and history shared, and the highlight for our kids was getting to use various tools (EMF meters, infrared thermometers) to look for ghosts. Highly recommend this tour and this company for tweens!
This tour was so much fun. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was a total pro at keeping my kids' attention. There were hands-on activities to really grab their attention, and a mild amount of walking that was easy and fun. I highly recommend this tour!
We had a wonderful Twilight Tour with Tammy. My husband and I brought our 11-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter. Our son and as nervous to start with considering the spooky theme, but our daughter was all in. Tammy is very knowledgeable about the New Orleans area having grown up there and with her family going back several generations there. She is also a middle school science teacher. She wove fascinating and historical stories that were intriguing to kids and adults alike. She also has great energy and enthusiasm, and is good with kids. I won't spoil all the details, but parts of the tour are very hands on including ghost hunting and communicating. Our son eventually warmed up to the experience and became more involved towards the end. Our 8-year-old daughter stayed engaged the whole time, although she likely wasn't paying attention to all the historical details like our son was. If your kids are able to focus to some degree and have an interest in the supernatural, definitely give this tour a try!
I’ve lived in New Orleans for 18 years and have never experienced a tour so inclusive and interactive. Tammy was the perfect tour guide and can’t wait to go back for more tours ✨🤍🙌🏽👻
We took the Twilight Tour- Hauntings for Tweens (8-12 y.o) with our 11 year old. I could definitely see how kids on the younger span of the age recommendation would enjoy this. However, with an 11 year old, she thought the tour was stupid. The stories were not detailed enough and engaging enough. We should have done an adult tour. So, if you have kids on the younger spectrum, it might be more fun for them but if they lean older, then this is probably too "babyish" for them. We would have enjoyed more detailed story-telling and more facts/history.
Hello, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I appreciate your feedback though obviously it is disappointing. As I would recommend to every customer, reviews are helpful but reaching out to the business owner directly is more constructive and will allow us to not only refund your tickets but also make changes to the tour. Without knowing who you are, I cannot refund your tickets. However, as a result of your review, we are revamping our hiring requirements, training procedures, requisite knowledge, and incorporation of historical context. We will address the weak points and ensure it does not continue. I hope you and your daughter enjoyed the rest of your trip.
This was one of our favorite things we did on our trip! MC was fabulous! She kept the kids entertained as well as the adults…she even had ghost detectors for the kids to use! It was a blast! A must do!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it- MC is so fun and engaging :) I'll share your praise with her. Hope you enjoyed your time in NOLA!
MC was a great guide, storyteller and teacher. Our kids enjoyed the overall experience though it felt a little too juvenile for our almost 12 year old.
The Twilight Tour with Mary Carol was, according to our 7 and 10 year olds, the highlight of our NOLA vacation. The whole family was captivated by the history and completely engaged. The ghost hunting gadgets made all the difference!
