Twilight Tour - Hauntings for Tweens (8 - 12 år)
Beskrivning
Vår Twilight Tour skapades för barn i högstadieåldern - de som är redo för djupare frågor, kritiskt tänkande och nyfikenhet på "vad-om". Liksom vår Spooky Tour fokuserar vi på den verkliga historien, dokumenterade skildringar och faktiska upplevelser som vi bevittnat på turnéer. Twilight Tour gräver dock djupare än Spooky Tour. Berättelserna är mer detaljerade med fler möjligheter att interagera med andevärlden. Turnén är interaktiv - barn kommer aldrig att placeras på plats utan uppmuntras att prova något nytt, något de sent kommer att glömma. New Orleans är en magisk, mystisk stad. På denna turné för 8-12 år gamla barn kommer de att lämna fascinerade, förtrollade och kanske lite skrämda. Vår turné är unik eftersom den är barnvänlig: inget våld, inget blod, inte heller "vuxna" ämnen och språk. Vi håller det rent!

Resplan
Turnén börjar vid Old Ursulines Convent där familjer kommer att lära sig om Ursulines nunnorna och deras avgörande roll för att rädda kolonin från en viss undergång. De kommer att höra om kistflickorna, som skickades hit för att gifta sig med de unga nybyggarna - men det ryktas att de har tagit med sig lite mer än deras bröllopsklänningar till kolonin...
Sagan om denna herrgård lockade Nicholas Cage tillräckligt för att köpa hemmet - och Hollywood tillräckligt för att skapa American Horror Story baserad på den. Familjer kommer att få höra vad som hände här (barnvänlig version!!)- samt hur sanningen kom att lära sig. Hemsökelser genom århundradena och på tidigare turer kommer att delas, liksom ett försök att kommunicera med Madame Lalaurie...
Vi kommer att lära familjer om den irländska immigrant/kreolska familjen som bodde här - och dog här - på 1800-talet. Sorgritualerna i denna katolska stad, under viktoriansk tid, kommer att utforskas med hemsökta antikviteter för barn att se - och hålla i (om de vågar!) * Vi går inte in här men det är ett museum definitivt värt ett besök!!
I den här butiken kommer familjer att lära sig om Lafitte - den mäktigaste piraten i 1800-talets New Orleans. De kommer att höra om några av hans välkända hemsökelser här - såväl som de som upplevts på tidigare turer. Barn kommer att få använda ett spökdetekteringsverktyg för att mäta eventuell närvaro av sprit. (Vuxna kan gå in medan vi stannar här.)
Vi avslutar turnén här och lär oss om vår berömda Voodoo-prästinna, Marie Laveau. Familjer kommer att lära sig om voodooens historia i New Orleans - dess koppling till västra Afrika och Haiti. Reliker från resor till Haiti och voodoomuseer kommer att delas. Barnen kommer också att lära sig om och skapa en gris-gris-påse baserad på historisk forskning. *Vi går inte in i museet även om vi uppmuntrar familjer att besöka!!

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!
