5.00Henry did an amazing job, mixing history with ghost stories, and providing plenty of lagniappe (which he taught us about, too!).

5.00The ghost tour was a fun way to spend an evening in the Quarter. Our tour guide, AJ, was funny and informative. I appreciated that the tour was not gimmicky and dispelled cheesy ghost stories while sharing the real stories of New Orleans.
Fun and Factual

5.00Truly was awesome!! She made the tour fun and offered some fun facts (I did not know about the Rolex watch face fact)! She asked if there were any the Originals fans (guilty!) and pointed out some spots relevant to the show, which was so cool! She also pointed out some local spots like MRB which was such a good bar. We loved her!!
Thank you Capt Frank

1.00This is NOT a ghost tour. Much more like a history of New Orleans French quarter tour. It wasn’t spooky/scary at all. We were disappointed.
A must-do when in New Orleans if you want to learn about the city and its macabre past

5.00We have a really fun time on the Ghost and Vampire tour of the French Quarter with our guide, Henry. He kept the tour moving so we could cover a lot of ground, and he was a natural storyteller who knew how to mix the historical with the fantastical.
Fantastic Ghost Tour with a lot of NO history

5.00Carl made the Ghost Tour special. He is a historian, super knowledgeable, and really did his work at the archives of New Orleans. If you walk with him you are in for a treat. Not only does he give you the facts and ghost stories that are told around town, but also does he answer every possible question. He brings a good mood and lots of energy to the table and caters to everybody's needs. The Ghost Tour was fantastic, and I know a lot more about the city now.
Cool tour!

Many people in the group, overcrowded we couldn’t listen to what she was talking about, It did not meet our expectations

1.00Boring tour, you better walk on the streets by yourself. Many people in the group, overcrowded we couldn’t listen to what she was talking about, It did not meet our expectations, I could have walked on the streets by myself and google every single thing, super boring do not spend you time and money in this
