Great interactive activity
I used to live in NOLA and was visiting with my 8 year old daughter. I signed her up for the kids ghost tour and she had such a good time. Even though I know the city the tour provided her with an experience i could not. Our tour guide was an experienced teacher and she was excellent with kids. My daughter raved about the tour and loved the interactive elements. She was telling everyone about how she went ghost hunting that evening. The kids ranged in age from older toddlers to age 10 and they all appeared to be having a good time. As a teacher myself i can say that it’s hard to please that big of a range at once.
I 100% recommend this tour even if you live in the city it would be a fun way for your kids to spend an afternoon.

If you have kids, book this tour!
This was hands down one of the best experiences that I have been on with my children. My daughter, almost 4, and my son, seven, were so engaged for over two hours! This was a spooky but not scary and super fun and engaging tour. The guide was incredible with children and I would do this over again in a heartbeat.
Operator response
Wow!!! Thank you for such a glowing review!! I'm so glad to hear they were engaged the whole time!! I try to keep it to 90 minutes but when kids are into it, it's hard to snip parts out! We will be expanding to other cities across the US- please keep in touch!! Hope to see you again!

Fantastic Kids Birthday
We did the Kids French Quarter Ghost Hunt for my daughter’s 7th birthday, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Jill, was incredible — she’s a former teacher, and it really shows. She kept all the kids completely engaged and excited the entire time, balancing spooky fun with just the right amount of history.
The tour was a perfect mix of interesting stories for adults and hands-on fun for the kids. The children loved using the ghost-hunting gadgets and they truly felt like little investigators exploring the French Quarter.
It was such a unique and memorable experience, and everyone (kids and parents alike) left smiling and talking about it the rest of the night. I can’t recommend this enough for families looking for something different, educational, and entertaining in New Orleans!
Operator response
Thank you!! I am so happy to read this! I love touring with local families. The French Quarter is a magical setting for a celebration and your group brought the energy!! I was just looking through the videos of them singing that ghostly song- with all the fantastic costumes and giggles! It was a magical morning- thank you for setting it up!! I really appreciate the kind words. I hope it's a great year!

Ghost scavenger hunt perfect for kids
We had such a great experience on the French Quarter Ghost Tour with Jill! She was absolutely wonderful—attentive, patient, and full of personality. We brought our two kids along, and Jill went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and included the entire time. When my daughter wasn’t feeling her best, Jill didn’t hesitate to offer her an ice pack and kept a kind eye on the kids throughout the tour. That level of care really stood out and made the night so much easier for us as parents.
Beyond how great she was with the kids, Jill was also a fantastic storyteller. She brought the history and ghost stories of New Orleans to life with the perfect mix of fun and spooky. The adults were just as entertained as the kids—maybe even more!
It’s rare to find a guide who can balance being engaging, funny, and genuinely caring all at once, but Jill did exactly that. We’d highly recommend this tour to families or anyone looking for a memorable way to explore the French Quarter.

A trip highlight!
This was such an amazing way to get our kids (age 5 and 8) excited about the city. They LOVED getting to hunt for ghosts using the tools Jill gave them. She kept them engaged the whole time! We highly recommend this tour!

Must do if you have kids!
We joined the twilight tour and Leann was amazing. We learned so much from her and my son (7) had a blast. His favorite part was the “ghost hunting” part. I would recommend this in a heartbeat if you have young kids and want to learn about the history of New Orleans with the added benefits of ghost stories.

Fun time with littles on the spooky ghost tour
We took our 3 and 7 year old kids on this tour and had a great time. There were plenty of interactive things and storytelling for the kids and some fun history for the adults. It was also an appropriate length for their attention spans. Would recommend to others and would go myself again!
Operator response
Aww that’s so great to hear! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience with other families! Leann was your guide and she’s fantastic!! We are very lucky to have her leading our tours + field trips! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in New Orleans. 💜💚💛 Thank you! Jill
