Super Informative!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting at all times. Not sure if it was just our guide or how all tours are with this company but it definitely felt more of a historical/educational tour than a "ghost" tour which I actually really enjoyed but my 16 year old wasn't as excited with.

Interesting and Educational

It was very interesting and informative. Loved learning about New Orleans history. Not too scary, but I was glad we weren’t staying in any of those haunted hotels! Laura was friendly and knew her stuff!

Haunted French Quarter Tour is so much fun

We absolutely loved our Haunted French Quarter Tour! The tour started at 8 PM, and we were extremely lucky to have Martin as our guide. Martin was exceptional! His knowledge of New Orleans, its history, and the events surrounding the stories he shared was truly impressive. He didn’t just tell us about the past — he made us feel like we had been transported back in time. He was incredibly animated and engaging, bringing every story to life in a way that kept us captivated from beginning to end. The time flew by, which is always a sign of a great tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Martin as your guide. He truly made the evening unforgettable!
