What To Expect
French Quarter
When it rains in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the locals swear that a beautiful voice floats out of the mist. After you hear the story of ‘Bloody’ O'Reilly vs. Pere Dagobert – an 18th-century priest of St Louis Cathedral – you just might hear the singing rain too! Start your ghost tour at Jackson Brewery, where you’ll meet your entertaining guide and set off to various haunted sites. There's no guarantee you will spot a ghost, but you'll see where you're most likely to meet one!
Hear the tale of the bizarre love triangle.

1.00I hate leaving poor reviews, but occasionally it is necessary to instigate improvement. This visit was June 8th, 2024, and I was taking a friend to NOLA for the first time. I have used many services for ghost tours in the area, and like many tours, the guide makes all the difference. Sadly, ours was losing her voice. She couldn’t project more than about 5 feet, and so you couldn’t hear her. This might have been okay if it was a small tour. In fact, when I booked the tour, it said the cap on participants was 14 when most allow 28. Well, that was blatant false advertising. There were 26 in our group. My friend is a technophile, and this tour advertised augmented reality. Well, when the tour started, the guide said it doesn’t work well with android phones. He downloaded an app, and got it to work. You have to scan a QR code at each stop….with 28 people trying at once. Then the images were worthy of an 80s zombie movie, his words. There will always be hiccups when experimenting with new technology, and I absolutely give the tour company props for trying. Sadly, this was not ready for deployment. We gave up and disappeared down an alley off Jackson Square to find our own ghosts.
Spooky night in New Orleans !

5.00Rebecca was a fantastic guide and a natural storyteller— she really helped connect New Orleans history to the modern day and shared a glimpse of life in Southern Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast. Excellent job!

4.00It’s more of scary historical details of the city. Very well done. I went w my 11 and 14yo. They weren’t spooked that they couldn’t sleep at night, but did find the stories spooky! The tour guide was conscious with the fact the kids were with us with regards to words he chose. He was great. I appreciate his own historical background being from there.

2.00Our tour guide never showed up and we waited for almost 30 minutes. Very frustrating, but the ladies at the ticket booth were very nice and apologetic so thankful for them.
