Just ok, went to 2 bars, good drinks, lewd ghost stories were kinda lame. Adele was nice but not super engaging. She seemed bored with her job. Fun-ish way to spend an evening not on bourbon street, but just ok.
Sorry, the tour just wasn't for you. We love Adele here, and I know she loves her job. She doesn't work here cause she needs to, but because she genuinely loves history and working with our family.
Had a blast and learned a lot! Three bar stops made it fun to get to know my fellow companions! Taking the tour at night gives a fun, spooky vibe. Our guide was so entertaining and knowledgeable! Would do this again in a second! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for the fantastic recommendation! There is truly nothing quite like exploring the spooky side of New Orleans at night—the atmosphere alone does half the work, but a little liquid courage definitely doesn't hurt! We love that the three bar stops gave you a perfect chance to mingle and swap stories with your fellow tour companions. After all, nothing bonds a group quite like ghost stories and good drinks.
After taking the excellent Unique Nola Tours Garden District tour with Dane, we just had to take another one with him as our guide. The guide makes the tour and Dane is fantastic. He is articulate, well-paced, knowledgeable, humorous, personable..just not enough adjectives. The tour is interesting mixing both history and ghost stories; some real, some imagined. Really a must-do (and you must-do it with Unique Nola Tours) tour for anyone visiting New Orleans. ps: Unique Nola is SMALL GROUP and reasonable! We passed tour after tour with 30, 40 people. Why would anyone do that?
Seeing those 'parade-sized' tour groups pass by always makes me cringe! 💅 I’m so glad you chose the 'Unique' route—Dane is a total legend for a reason, and he’s even better when you can actually hear him. Thanks for coming back for a second round with us; that’s the best compliment we could ask for!
Ashley was a great tour guide who adapted the tour to include more history and fun facts to match our groups interests!
It was disappointing. We walked around and heard stories. You do not walk through cemeteries. The stories were lack luster.
We’re sorry to hear the tour wasn’t what you expected. Our listing clearly notes it’s a French Quarter walking tour, focused on the city’s haunted history and ghostly legends — no cemetery entry. The ghosts there like their peace and quiet anyway. Our guides bring those stories to life right where they happened, and for guests looking for a deeper dive into the Quarter’s haunted side, this is exactly the place to find it.
Great spirit of the city told through wonderfully spooky stories. Thanks for the memories Roni we really appreciated your tour!
I’m thrilled you had a great experience! Thanks for your review and for supporting the tour.
Very knowledgeable guide, knew less of local history and able to tailor tour to the interest of the group.
Not scary or even spooky. It was a history lesson. Very disappointing. Guide Roni even asked if we just wanted to sit and talk about the stories. We said no, we wanted the walking tour to see the places he was talking about. Very disappointed.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t feel “spooky” enough for you. Our tours are built around the real haunted history of New Orleans, because the legends are only chilling when you understand the truth behind them. Many guests appreciate the blend of history and ghost stories, and we always do our best to tailor the experience so that everyone feels engaged. When your guide asked about adjusting the format, it wasn’t to detract from the walking tour; it was to ensure the group had the experience they wanted. We’ll continue to fine-tune our balance of history and hauntings, but we also believe the genuine frights of New Orleans lie in the stories that are stranger and scarier than fiction.
We had a great time with Roni! He spent time giving us the historical and creepy stories on New Orleans. I appreciated his knowledge and ability to share it!
We are thrilled to hear you had a wonderful experience with Roni during the tour! Your positive review means a lot to us, and we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share it.
Did a solo trip to New Orleans and wanted to do a little haunt tour. Got lucky and had my own private tour guide, Roni, who was absolutely epic! So knowledgeable about the city and had all the stories galore!
Roni is an Epic guide. I am happy you enjoyed your tour with him. Thank you for your review.
