Itinerary
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.
Pass by: 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.
Pass by: 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.

Traveler reviews
Ghost tour 10/10
Ariadne was a great tour guide, funny, informative and helpful
A good way to spend 2 hrs in NOLA.
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.
Pretty boring to be honest
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
Excellent
Very good experience. The guide was knowledgeable , friendly and pleasnt
Thorn is a walking history book…but interesting.
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.
