Entertaining look at New Orleans folklore

We took the nighttime Classic Ghose Tour. Orion is a gifted storyteller and has a great presence with a group. He knows how to build suspense and keep people engaged throughout the tour. I found myself thinking about how much of the city's identity is shaped by folklore. Many of its best-known stories seem to start with a historical event before evolving into something much larger through years of retelling. Looking back, that felt like the lens through which this tour was presented. I did find it curious that Orion chose not to stop in front of the LaLaurie Mansion because of the negative vibes he associated with it, instead pointing it out from down the block. A few days later, though, I saw him on Instagram standing directly in front of the mansion during another tour. If you're looking for an entertaining evening built around the city's legends and ghost lore, this tour delivers. If you're hoping for a tour that stays closer to the documented history behind those stories, you may come away wishing the balance had leaned a little more in that direction.

Spooky tour in NOLA!

Orion was an awesome tour guide! He was very informative about the spooky spots and just a fun overall tour guide! The only thing is he spoke a little fast but other than that it was great! Would book a tour with him again.

Ghost hunting

Our tour guide was very informative about the history and events that lead into the ghost sitings and even showed us photographic proof of ghost.
