Ghosts & Vampires with Logan

Our guide, Logan, was exceptional. The tour was about two hours long and covered some very notorious crimes and hauntings within NOLA. I am a historian but never disclose because I really like to hear the perspectives of others. Logan had passion, charisma, and was very accommodating to questions. Overall, the tour is absolutely worth the walk, and was conveniently offered midday right before our time to go to the airport!

Solid French Quarter History

We took the 8pm version of this tour, which was cool because it ended in the dark. The tour is mainly cool not because it is scary (even for kids), but because of the history that it provides and the ability to see the older parts of the French Quarter in twilight. Our guide, Martin, knew his stuff and had all of the customers in mind at all times. Recommended for the history buffs and those who want to learn more about the sordid history of the city. I definitely wanted to do some more reading when it was done!

Great Ghost Tour of French Quarter

Just finished the Ghosts of New Orleans tour with our excellent and entertaining guide, Lisa. We loved everything about it. Lisa was easy to hear and shared so many great stories. It was such a fun way to see parts of the city we had not yet explored on our own. Everyone in our family had a great time (2 adults and 2 children, 11 and 8 yrs old). The ghost stories were a lot of fun and quite informative. We also really appreciate Lisa finding great photo spots and sharing other New Orleans information as well. Highly recommend and I’d absolutely do it again!
