Itinerary
There are over 80 square blocks in the old district, and on every one of them there are so many stories of passion, loss, betrayal, yearning, exhilaration, hope, and mourning. Your guide will introduce you to the ghosts, spirits, and criminals in New Orleans' endlessly interesting past.
Royal Street, with its quaint architecture, art galleries, and mysterious antique-filled shops, is the perfect place to travel back in time to the days when pirates, wanderers, scandalous ladies, and dark hearts wandered the streets of this old neighborhood. Your guide will tell you the stories whose unforgettable characters may still linger behind the shutters and in the alleys and courtyards.
The river was the gateway to New Orleans, the place where the restless types - artists, writers, immigrants, traders, adventurers - entered the city and thought, "Ahhhh, finally a place where I fit in" The water holds their stories, and your guide can coax them out and reveal the magic soul of New Orleans.
Some of the spookiest stories and most notorious murders have taken place on world-famous Bourbon Street. Your guide will reveal the spirits and stories hidden among the revelers and characters!

Jason Rocks!
Jason was very informative and helpful in explaining the history of the subjects for the tour! Definitely recommend him as a tour guide
Fun & informative!
Loved this walking tour! Our guide Joshua was engaging and knowledgeable. We got to see parts of the quarter we wouldn’t have noticed just walking around. Loved the history and the stories. Definitely would recommend!
Amazing Authentic Tour!
We had the pleasure of having Libby as our tour guide last night. An amazing story teller, her extreme knowledge and passion of New Orleans and it's history was extremely evident and so interesting. She captivated us with stories of the murderous and scandalous past. With a well-balanced array of eerie ghost and true crime stories, a superb time was had by our group. We will definitely be back to book another tour with Libby to hear more stories and history of our favorite city!
Perfect for crime junkies! 10/10
Tour guides can make or break an experience. Scott was AWESOME! We learned to much about the spooky origins of New Orleans and really appreciated really crime history of the city. So glad we did this one!
