Meet your guide in the French Quarter to dive right into this fascinating and entertaining tour. Follow your guide into the dark alleys and secret courtyards of New Orleans for the thrill tour like no other. This is a 'gumbo' tour, giving you a chance to sample macabre stories of ghosts, vampires, witches, Voodoo, and unsolved mysteries derived from police archives, city records, and research. Hear the tales of unsolved murders and crimes of passion that left their ghostly imprints in our history. Follow the footsteps of a mysterious serial killer many believe was something other than human. Find out why things aren’t always what they appear to be in the hidden corners of the French Quarter. Perfect for those who only have time for 1 tour and want a little taste of everything.
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.
The party never ends on Bourbon Street. As you hunt for vampires and spirits cross the biggest block party in the world. Take in the essence of the famous of all streets, Bourbon Street.
During the day, Royal Street is a busy avenue for art galleries, antiques, and retail shopping. But after dark, it comes alive with the spirits of the past to tell the stories of lost loves, betrayals, Voodoo spells, Witch's curses, vampires, and murder. Everything looks different at night on Royal Street.
See the side alley where pirates sold their stolen goods that is located right next to a church. They say that late at night one can still hear the sounds of this very haunted location. Some have seen pirates' ghosts wandering in the wee hours of the morning.

Our tour guide dropped the “r*tarded” word right off the rip and that killed the rest of the tour. He was impossible to hear as well so we only caught maybe 1.5 stories. The one we did catch was about Zack and Addie and he came off as very disrespectful. I’ve heard that story told before on a different tour here and they were able to do so tastefully. Would not recommend.
Bob was FANTASTIC! The amount of history he knows is amazing and I cannot recommend him enough. He fun, he’s through and I will definitely be visiting him next time I come back. I had a blast!
Fun tour! Cat was a great guide!
This tour - 5 in 1- was severely disappointing! Advertised as ghost, witches, voodoo, crimes and mysteries but we only got crimes from the 2003+ that were in the paper. There is so much spiritual history and we got none of it. Waste of time and not fun
Great experience. Ms Vee is a great ghost storyteller.
Good tour, V was a great guide and very knowledgeable
It was a very informative experience. I have been on several tours in New Orleans and I’m always looking for something new and different.. Joe was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable and had stories that I had never heard before I highly recommend this tour.
Juliette was amazing! We enjoyed the way she told her stories, she was great answering the kids' questions, and her walking pace was just right for the size of our group. It was a fun tour that touched on a little of everything but wasn't too scary for our teen and pre-teen. Would definitely recommend.
Guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and made the tour fun.
Kristy was awesome. Lots of knowledge and fun mixed in. I loved seeing Klaus’s house. It was a lot of chills and thrills.
We ended up on a tour by ourselves but sadly we had to bail early due to the heat/humidity. The guide was knowledgeable and theatrical and gave us a quick run through of what we were going to miss so we could explore on our own. Just sorry we had to quit early. We would definitely book again.
Fun learning about history. Plenty of fun. The information given was based on fun facts, history, and cool movie facts. I would have loved to see where some other movie scenes were filmed
Ariadne was a great guide!! Learned a lot with lots of laughs!
Ariadne was a great tour guide, funny, informative and helpful
Christian was our guide and he was great! I can clearly see his love for New Orleans and the work that he does, being a NOLA historian and a liver of the supernatiral. My one critique would be accuracy of the cities history. There was a lot of omission on the presence of black enslaved and the indigenous people. May not be a reflection of Christians but the suggested topics of the tour owners. When I asked direct questions about the people, Christian was able to answer.
This just didn’t live up to expectations. The stories were pretty blah and mostly about grisly murders. It seemed to want to touch on too many supernatural traits like vampires, witches, ghosts but really just mostly spoke about murders that alluded to something mysterious. Overall I would go with another and hopefully it isn’t just about grisly murders
Very good experience. The guide was knowledgeable , friendly and pleasnt
Thorn was an awesome guide. Lots of historical facts, mixed with great story telling. Would definitely recommend. The story of the 300 boxes was incredible.
Thorn was very knowledgeable and funny. He gave us a lot of interesting information while also being entertaining and interacting with us. We enjoyed the tour.
Thorne, while probably sick of our $h!t, was an incredible guide who took our constant jabbering in stride and entertained our most outrageous questions. Knowledgeable and witty, we had a fantastic time!
Ask for Yayah Universe. She was hilarious and informative at the same time and went above and beyond to keep us on the tour entertained. Worth every penny!
yy universe was amazing she really kept the energy up and told the stories in a very interesting way
Thorn was phenomenal. A great story teller that was extremely knowledgeable, personable and fun. Highly recommend!
Thorn showed us around, very informative and friendly and funny! Really treat for history nerds!
We had Thorne as our tour guide, he is an amazing story teller. Left us on our toes only to and tie that story to the last. He made sure to check in on us and see if we needed any breaks. Such good information and history in this city.
Great tour with Thorn, he was very funny and engaging. Lots of interesting facts and history about all things spooky in New Orleans. Highly recommend
Thorn was amazing. I loved every minute of it. Would highly recommend
Thorn was great. Informative and funny
Thorn was awesome!! Was very knowledgeable and funny and the same time.... Def would recommend!
Great stories from Thorn. We had a big group and he projected well so everyone could hear. The stories were so interesting and can’t wait to look them up and learn more
Bob was absolutely wonderful!! We learned so much and his jokes were joyful additions. It was well worth the small price tag to explore the French quarter and the surrounding areas, with history lessons and horror stories based on real events. The tour was a total of about 2 hours which was perfect. Two of us had never been to NOLA or taken ghost tours and one of us has been a few times and taken 2 tours, and she also agreed this one was great. Do it, and hope you get Bob!
Thor was AMAZING very funny and knowledgeable! definitely recommend it 100%. learned a lot!
Thorn was very entertaining and knowledgeable about the city and its rich history. He was able to provide us with a behind the scenes historical tour that showed us the rich culture and history that founded New Orleans and made it into the city that it is today.
I’ve been on many walking/ghost/history tours in multiple cities around the country with my family, mostly booked with TripAdvisor. This tour sounded interesting and seemed to offer a wide array of topics. Now to begin and be fair, we did arrive 2 minutes late (our transportation was caught up due to emergency vehicles), the tour guide was aware that we would be arriving 3 minutes late (we made up 1 minute by running), but he did leave us behind. The tour company did catch us up to the group and we headed out on our tour. The group consisted of about 20 */- ppl, so it was a nice sized tour. We moved from place to place at break neck speed, at times I felt as tho we were chasing our guide. Once we arrived at our stop he would do a head count, move on to his story, speaking very fast, then ending with “does anyone have any questions”, in which only once did someone ask a question then we were running off to the next location. Now a lot of these locales are near or off of Boubon St. so it’s very loud which makes it even harder to hear the story that the guide is running thru at super speed. There were a few interesting stories, but some I found extremely far fetched, and there were a lot of stops that were just related to movie and/or tv show filming, which, if your not familiar with the shows/films you wouldn’t know and/or care about. We did take a break at a local bar for drinks and bathroom (nice since no one lets you use the restroom in New Orleans), but the break ran over by 6 minutes (which was interesting considering he couldn’t wait 3 min for us to arrive when we were held up by an ambulance). All and all I would not recommend this tour for anyone who is not able to speed walk, has any hearing impairment or is not familiar with The Originals or Vampire Diaries. Our guide was nice, polite and did try to entertain with jokes, that got a chuckle or two, and he did know his history of New Orleans. Of all the walking tours I’ve done this one will most likely remain at the bottom of my list.
Chase was an amazing guide! Super friendly and funny. Loved the tour would definitely recommend!
Thorn was great! Really impressed with how many stories we heard and all of the details. Guide was passionate & enthusiastic.
My husband and I have been on ghost tours all around the country and tonight’s tour with Thorn was by far the most informative and entertaining! He is incredibly knowledgeable, and charismatic enough that the group of strangers were all laughing and chatting and connecting by the end!
Thorn was great! Really awesome stories and one of the best tours I’ve been on.
Me and my sisters booked this tour and loved every second of it. Juliet was our tour guide, and she was absolutely amazing. She knew so much and shared her knowledge in such a fun and unique way. She kept everyone’s attention throughout the entire tour with her personality and storytelling. We would highly recommend this tour.

Thorne was an amazing tour guide. Enjoyed hearing some history of New Orleans mixed in with the true crime. Great time.
Thorn was great. He knew so much history, interacted with the group, and made it seem like a personal tour. Thanks.
