Overview

Available languages

English

2 hours

Mobile ticket

Escape into the darkness with your licensed guide on an air-conditioned bus to some of the most haunted locations in New Orleans outside of the French Quarter. Cross one of the most notorious streets in America as we make our way down scenic Esplanade Avenue telling tales of tragedy, trauma, and mystery which has made us the most haunted city in America. All locations are alive with paranormal activity. Visit real cemeteries at night! Bring your camera, you won't want to miss this!

We have offered this tour for over 4 years now and are amazed by what our guests experience. People capture full-bodies apparitions not only on photographs but see them with the naked eye. People have heard whispers in their ears, felt the touch of someone brushing their cheek or stroking their hair, and sometimes even have a ghost photo bomb their pictures! Keep an open mind - you never know what might happen on this very haunted tour. (we do not disclose which cemetery you will visit-it's a surprise)

St. Louis Cemetery No. 3

Your introduction to haunted burial ground begin at the gates of this cemetery built in the 1800s during the yellow fever epidemics as the city ran out of room to bury its dead. Everything was something else before it is what it is today. This famous burial location was once a lepers colony with a cemetery of its own. You might say it's a cemetery on top of a cemetery.

Our guide Christian delivered a fantastic ghost tour taking us to lots of amazing places such as city park, and numerous grace yards while telling some brilliant ghost stories and legends from New Orleans. We also had a half time stop off at a cafe called morning call for the toilet and beignets which were the best we tasted in New Orleans. Great tour really recommend it.

I’m not sure what I expected, but it was good! I think our tour guide 100% made the experience! Shannon was knowledgeable and let us know what to look for. I particularly loved being able to explore the cemetery
Interesting but not worth the cost

Best part was that the bus stops at a beignet shop. It was interesting and our guide was engaging but the whole thing was way too pricey in my opinion. If they had small group rates I'd be more inclined to recommend, but $220 for 4 people was a rip off.
