Am I really seeing ghosts here???

Ghost tour 4⭐️s Tour Guide - Leo 6⭐️s Customer service 0⭐️s Leo was a wonderful guide very informative and entertaining. We booked 3 tours with Cajun Envounters, my daughter and I were only going to be in town 24 hours so we booked the nighttime ghost tour, the city bus tour and a swamp tour. It was carefully planned out so we could do/see as much as we could. When checking into the ghost tour I even specifically verified the meeting times and locations of the next 2 tours on the following day (the place we met for the first tour was surrounded by road construction and even on foot the meeting place was hard to access/find). When we got back to the hotel around 11pm. I read an email stating out bus tour had gotten rescheduled and as a result we could not make the swamp tour in time. They only refunded for the bus tour since that was the only one they “changed” I ended up finding something much better for us. We did the hop on hop off bus tour, still informative and provided transportation to some of the “hot spots”. And best for someone on a tight schedule. I would highly recommend shopping o. Magazine St. Back to the ghost tour - I take tons of photos…Help me decide if you think I captured photos of 2 different ghosts!!!! The next day we went to the bookstore Leo recommended the The Haunted New Orleans by ####%# and may have captured a few in that super tiny space.

Don’t miss this!

A fun jaunt through the French Quarter with ghost stories grounded in the history and culture of this city. Trulie was amazing! She told the stories with honesty, sensitivity, and with a nod to pop culture and humor when she could. A great way to orient yourself to the sights while learning about what makes New Orleans the risqué, fabulous, diverse and hauntingly tragic, endlessly entertaining hub of culture. Worth every penny!

Great tour round the French Quarter

Henry did an amazing job, mixing history with ghost stories, and providing plenty of lagniappe (which he taught us about, too!).

Entertaining and informative

The ghost tour was a fun way to spend an evening in the Quarter. Our tour guide, AJ, was funny and informative. I appreciated that the tour was not gimmicky and dispelled cheesy ghost stories while sharing the real stories of New Orleans.

Fun and Factual

Truly was awesome!! She made the tour fun and offered some fun facts (I did not know about the Rolex watch face fact)! She asked if there were any the Originals fans (guilty!) and pointed out some spots relevant to the show, which was so cool! She also pointed out some local spots like MRB which was such a good bar. We loved her!!
