The most haunted house in New Orleans is the LaLaurie Mansion. Learn the real story behind the city's most famous serial killer. In public, she was a socialite but in the unseen shadows behind the scenes, she was a cold blooded murderer who took the lives of innocent people right under the noses of the affluent New Orleanians.

Jackson Square takes on a completely different persona after dark. See one of the most iconic landmarks in America when the shadows and spirits come out to roam. This tour usually ends in or near the square.
The most notorious alley in all America where pirates sold their contraband and killed their enemies and all right next to a Catholic Cathedral! Legend says that if you begin drinking in Pirate's Alley and make your way to Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the ghost of Jean Lafitte will greet you when you get there. Many a visitor has witnessed the apparitions of pirates running in the alley then disappearing late in the evening.
Most of our guides end their ghost tour near this iconic bar in Pirate's Alley. Stop in and try an absynthe, dubbed The Green Fairy for it's hauntingly green appearance. This famous pub was a popular hangout for Aleistar Crowley in the early 1900s as well as an entire culture of vampire lifestylers in the 1990s.

I had a wonderful time on the New Orleans Haunted History Ghost Tour! Our tour guide, Ariadne (aka Arty), was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the history and ghost stories of New Orleans, personable, friendly, and happy to answer all of our questions. Although the tour lasted about two hours, Arty walked at a comfortable, leisurely pace that allowed everyone to keep up, enjoy the stories, and take pictures along the way. We also made a stop for a restroom break and to grab a drink if we wanted one, which was appreciated. I felt completely safe throughout the entire tour and really enjoyed learning so much about the history, legends, and ghosts of New Orleans. Arty made the experience both interesting and enjoyable, and her knowledge and pleasant personality really made the tour special. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Arty as your guide!
Great way for the family (kids 11 and 13) to have a fun and engaging time learning the history and seeing the sites of the French Quarter! First evening ever in NOLA for the wife and kids-a perfect intro. Our tour guide Bob was great-extremely knowledgeable and funny. Would highly recommend!
It was an interesting tour, but not as fun I would have liked.
Christian was fantastic!!! 2 hour tour with wonderful history and interesting stories of the French Quarter- extensive knowledge delivered with engaging passion! Thanks again!
Our guide was awesome !! She was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Excellent tour. Ariadne taught us a lot about the haunted tales and general History of New Orleans which was so interesting. She was very friendly and made the whole experience really fun. Would highly recommend
First off. Bob was an amazing guide. The history mixed with ghost stories was amazing. I highly recommend.
We took a tour on 9/26 at 8 PM. I rated it a one because rating it a zero was not an option. The tour guide was speaking so fast that I couldn’t even understand what he said his name was. His voice was loud enough but he spoke so quickly that multiple people said the same thing. We left less than halfway thru. Don’t waste your money
It was amazing!! Our guide was incredible and kept the tour so entertaining and informative!!
