Twilight Tour- Hauntings for Tweens (8 - 12 anni)
Descrizione
Il nostro Twilight Tour è stato creato per i bambini delle elementari superiori, quelli pronti per domande più profonde, pensiero critico e curiosità sui "cosa succede se". Come il nostro Spooky Tour, ci concentriamo sulla storia reale, sui resoconti documentati e sulle esperienze reali testimoniate durante i tour. Tuttavia, il Twilight Tour scava più a fondo dello Spooky Tour. Le storie sono più dettagliate con più opportunità di interagire con il regno degli spiriti. Il tour è interattivo: i bambini non saranno mai messi sul posto, ma incoraggiati a provare qualcosa di nuovo, qualcosa che non dimenticheranno presto. New Orleans è una città magica e misteriosa. In questo tour per bambini dagli 8 ai 12 anni, se ne andranno incuriositi, incantati e forse un po' spaventati. Il nostro tour è unico perché è adatto ai bambini: nessuna violenza, nessun gore, né argomenti e linguaggio "adulti". Lo teniamo pulito!

Itinerario
Il tour inizia al Vecchio Convento delle Orsoline, dove le famiglie impareranno a conoscere le suore Orsoline e il loro ruolo fondamentale nel salvare la colonia da un destino certo. Sentiranno parlare delle ragazze scrigno, inviate qui per sposare i giovani coloni, ma si dice che abbiano portato alla colonia qualcosa in più dei loro abiti da sposa...
La storia di questa villa ha allettato Nicholas Cage abbastanza da acquistare la casa e Hollywood abbastanza da creare American Horror Story basata su di essa. Le famiglie ascolteranno cosa è successo qui (versione a misura di bambino!!) e come è stata appresa la verità. Saranno condivisi fantasmi nel corso dei secoli e dei tour passati, così come un tentativo di comunicare con Madame Lalaurie...
Insegneremo alle famiglie l'immigrato irlandese/famiglia creola che visse qui - e qui morì - nel 19° secolo. I rituali di lutto di questa città cattolica, durante l'epoca vittoriana, saranno esplorati con oggetti d'antiquariato infestati che i bambini potranno vedere - e tenere (se ne hanno il coraggio!) * Non entriamo qui dentro ma è un museo sicuramente da visitare!!
In questo negozio, le famiglie impareranno a conoscere Lafitte, il pirata più potente della New Orleans del XIX secolo. Sentiranno parlare di alcuni dei suoi fantasmi ben noti qui, così come di quelli vissuti nei tour passati. I bambini potranno utilizzare uno strumento di rilevamento dei fantasmi per misurare la presenza di spiriti. (Gli adulti possono entrare mentre siamo fermi qui.)
Termineremo il tour qui, imparando a conoscere la nostra famosa sacerdotessa Voodoo, Marie Laveau. Le famiglie impareranno a conoscere la storia del voodoo a New Orleans, il suo collegamento con l'Africa occidentale e Haiti. Le reliquie dei viaggi ad Haiti e dei musei voodoo saranno condivise bene. I bambini impareranno anche a creare una borsa gris-gris basata sulla ricerca storica. *Non entriamo nel museo anche se incoraggiamo le famiglie a visitarlo!!

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!
