Itinerary
Cuban Creations is a fun and elegant smoking bar in the French Quarter -- the only one of its kind! It has very comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, and great historic New Orleans cocktails as its specialties.
Hear the story of the pair of tragedies that transformed the French Quarter, and of Jackson's Square's bloody history as a penal colony and torture center.
We start our journey through the most haunted parts of the French Quarter. You'll see the incredible architecture, and hear the stories of the people who lived inside.
This humble shop, now a thriving bar, is believed to be a smuggling front for the pirate operations of Jean Lafitte, one of the most powerful pirates in history.
Hear the terrifying true story of the LaLaurie Mansion, the worst serial killers in New Orleans history, hidden in plain sight in high society!
See the convent of the Ursuline nuns, a place of untold legends and rumors in our early colonial history.

Josh did a great job showing us around Knew a lot about New Orleans cool person and very nice I would recommend him to anyone

Disappointing Tour
This this tour with tour guide Mikko [spelling?] was, sad to say, disappointing. The tour lasted less time than it was supposed to, and we did not visit at least two of the major New Orleans haunted sites that the tour ad represented we would see and hear about. How do you go on a haunted tour and not visit the Lalaurie Mansion and the Old Ursuline Convent? We didn't on this tour. Perhaps it was because Mikko was clearly much more interested in talking after the tour to the pretty women from Santa Monica who were in our tour about a private tour, rather than leading the rest of the tour group to these two famous haunted sites. Like I said, disappointing, especially because we were really looking forward to this tour.
Operator response
Really sorry to hear that, Gary! We will talk to the guide and find out about this, because what you're describing would concern me too, as a guest. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and let us know.
