To kid or not to kid...
Wonderful balance of history/education with the supernatural NOLA is known for! Definitely a highlight of my 20ish visits through New Orleans areas. It's not too spooky for upper elementary+ aged kids to enjoy- mine did! However, I recommend avoiding kids under 12y or those that don't already enthusiastically embrace ghost/spooky things. Even well-behaved, kids are just...louder! I worried my 9yo questions disturbed the ambiance for anyone seeking silence on somber grounds (...I'll forever let that potential parenting annoyance riddle me with anxiety & remorse). Aside, our tour guide took groups' photos at the front. Turns out, she accidentally took unflattering front-camera selfies instead. Which we're not even mad about because that's so precious. TL:DR Great experience, do it!

Amazing tour guide Lots of history and culture I’d do it again especially in the Deep South I hope others have the same experience
This is the best tour I’ve ever been on…
Oh my goodness I’d recommend this to anyone! Trish was the best and even gave us a little time to use copper rods to talk to the dead as we were the last tour of the night! If you’re sensitive to spirits like I am, you can feel prickles and tingles as you walk through the house as the ghosts let you know quickly who rules the roost. To add onto the greatness of this tour, Trish was funny and gave us amazing and harrowing facts about the land and also let us know where to take photos to catch apparitions. Ask to see her photos, you’ll never be the same again!
