Our guide, Jane, was great. It was an interesting tour. Would recommend.
J was the best tour guide!!! She was a blast to listen to!! We learned a lot while having fun!! I would recommend her above all!!
So much fun! J is very fun & interesting to listen to. I learned a piece of New Orleans on this tour. I also like that J is a New Orleans native, born and raised.
It was a really fun experience. I would definitely do this again next time I visit new Orleans. The guide was very nice.
We’ve taken this same New Orleans spooky tour twice before and enjoyed it, but this time was disappointing. Our guide, Jay, was long-winded, and the stories turned into rambling tangents that were difficult to follow. I couldn’t understand half of what she was saying. She also brought her dog without poop bags and left dog poop on the sidewalk at multiple stops, which was inconsiderate and unprofessional. The repeated pressure to tip afterward made the experience even more frustrating. We knew from our previous visits how enjoyable this tour could be, but this experience fell well below that standard.
Good but not great. Our tour guide Elario focused too much on extolling the virtues of witches without going into any detail on their practices or beliefs. He also didn’t cover voodoo.
Really enjoyed the Voodoo and ghost tour. It was very interesting and blended the spooky stories with fascinating historical elements of New Orleans.
Great tour and learnt a lot of very interesting facts that I didn’t know. Elario was a top notch guide with lots of passion for the city.
History is a veritable minefield of potentially triggering topics, almost all of which were tap danced on during this tour. Which is why I'm glad that we got to take it with J. She is bold, upfront, and authentic. Her tour is a hot pot of history spiced up with creole comedy and class.
Tour took place in the dark which added to the atmosphere. ‘J ‘ was very charismatic, had a deep and passionate knowledge about New Orleans history and all things relating to the subject matter, she was great. Thoroughly recommend the tour
Oof. This wasn’t it. I was so excited but this was a major letdown. I left halfway through to go eat.
Jay was great. She's funny and I loved her stories!! She knows her history. She had the cutest guest tour guide named Reloaded(her dog).
El was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and respectful of the city and the traditions. He gave great information at each stop. It was fun, educational and you could feel his love for his city and his great intentions for all of us.
Jade was so much fun, wonderful personality! Loved that she had such great knowledge and deeper insight and did not just give us "the speech". Still have my good vibe crystal:) I have recommended Jade to others going to New Orleans and personally would take the same tour again.
Highly recommend! Our tour guide J was wild, fun and knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans. Definitely a must do!
J is fun and real, she made the experience fun and her energy was a good time. She’s a fire cracker!
We had a great time learning about local history and culture from our tour guide J. Would highly recommend this tour.
I had my tour with J and she was an amazing guide! She had my attention from start to finish and she kept you on your toes. Always prioritizing safety, she was engaging and funny as hell! The stories behind the closed doors were awesome. If you’re an Originals, AHS Coven or Interview with a Vampire fan, you’ll see some iconic places. You should give this tour a go! You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for the best tour J!!!
Our guide was great. Just a small tour and very informative. Learned quite a bit about the voodoo history. Thank you.
This tour wasn’t for me. By that I mean the format. The guide was good, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The format was just walking from place to place standing outside with narration. I expected we would have places to enter and explore but shops and the like were closed. Also half the time I couldn’t hear the guide due to other groups in the street. I found it a little hard to keep up with the group as they were fast walkers and it was all standing with no place to sit. I was one of the few older people so maybe not for seniors. Just not my cup of tea.
Informative and friendly tour. J our tour guide was outstanding and made the experience fun. Highly recommend this tour.
The gentleman Elario (excuse spelling) was very kind and very fun on his tour. It was very informative and educational. I loved how he made the experience about past and present. He was very respectful as well about the history.
Go ahead and book it. Learn the truth about voodoo, ghosts and murders of New Orleans. We had the BEST time with Jai. She was frickin amazing and entertaining!
Elario was the best tour guide. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. He even gave us a small gift at the end. Wonderful experience. Would do again.
J was amazing! We actually wanna do her tour again because she was so good and well versed on the history and true crime. She also engaged the entire crowd. It was spooky and cool. 5 star all the way!!!
Jay was awesome! She is witty smart and fun!! Had lots of great info to share and made it interesting. Would definitely recommend this tour
J was awesome! Tour was fun. Got to meet a pirate selling earrings. That’s fun.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Was very friendly and had a good vibe.
The walking tour focused on the history of New Orleans and how vampires, witches and voodoo were part of its history. Because we went at night, two of the locations were closed. So we were told about what was inside. Overall a very informatieve walking tour. Take it during the day if you have trouble seeing as the sidewalks are full of holes and obstacles and require you to concentrate while walking so you don’t fall.
Absolutely brilliant the guide not sure of his name but he had lots of piercings was brilliant would highly recommend this tour 10/10
Elario has a lot of knowledge and was gracious to answer our questions. I was hoping to hear more about ghosts, but I learned a lot.
Elaurio is very knowledgeable about the places we visited on this tour. He is passionate about sharing the history, making sure we understood the more about witchcraft as a practice and how this all came together in NOLA. He made sure we had enough time to explore the different sites, had bathroom breaks and that everyone was comfortable. There was even a nice gift at the end. I appreciated how much effort he put into this tour.. Highly recommend if you are even a little bit interested in the spiritual realm.
Tour guide, J, was awesome, very entertaining and funny, kept us all engaged and on edge with the stories, great experience!
Great, fun and informative . J was funny and charismatic. Good tour and very interesting. Not the typical one!
This tour was one of the best tours I’ve ever done. Our tour guide, Jai, was hilarious, informative and engaging. Every stop on the tour was so interesting, we even got to see where a real coven meets and a little gift at the end. Wish we could do it again! 1000% recommend.
Excellent tour to find out about early New Orleans and the spiritual beginnings tied to the founders and colonizers.
J was great her swamp witch attitude brought a lot of personality to the tour. It was a great exploration into the authentic spiritualism of New Orleans along with some great gruesome tales of the area.
Informative, authentic, and entertaining. We very much enjoyed it. 100% recommend if you’re not looking for lots of graves & jump scares
J was such a fun honest tour guide. Absolutely loved her. Got to see some really cool places I wouldn’t have known about and hear the stories attached to them
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about voodoo and witchcraft, but the tour itself was a bit boring.
Alario was amazing tells great story and gave us an awesome experience. The best in the biz!!
Had a great time and enjoyed our guide Jai was fun and great. Informative and interesting and entertaining
If you do this tour you will not be disappointed! I went last night with my daughter and Jay was our tour guide. If there is one thing I love it’s wild and crazy fun loving people and man she’s it. She knows her stuff and doesn’t hold back. Absolutely loved her and this tour. She even hooked up my daughter with a special gift AFTER the surprise at the end of tour. Just amazing!
J was the ideal tour guide for our group. She was hilarious, knowledgeable, savvy, and entertaining. She managed to cover a range of topics, including: the founding of New Orleans, colonialism, voodoo, witchcraft, murder, ghosts, music, muppets, and more. Her passion for the city is infectious and I could easily see spending all night learning from her. She also went out of her way to highlight special areas she felt would be of interest and left us with a protective blessing at the conclusion of the tour. I would recommend J as a tour guide to anyone coming to the city! The only people who this tour would not suit are very young children and those who cannot walk long distances or handle uneven terrain. Otherwise, don’t miss the chance to spend the evening with J!
The tour with Jay was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history but also made the experience fun, engaging, and entertaining. She was so accommodating to everyone and had us laughing the entire night. Her humor and personality really made the tour memorable. Such a wonderful experience!
Our tour guide Jay was absolutely amazing! She was very knowledgeable and an awesome person! I would highly recommend taking this tour!
Jen was THE BEST tour guide. Very funny and interactive. 12/10 recommend
Really informative and fun tour! A good combo of true crime, witchcraft, and voodoo through a historical lens. Our tour guide El was super entertaining and clearly passionate about his craft.
We had an amazing time. The tour took 2 hours. Our guide, Jai, was wonderful.. her knowledge and delivery made the tour fly by.
