4.00We enjoyed the tour! Christine (I believe that was our guide's name) was knowledgeable, funny, and kept everyone engaged. The bar stop midway through was a fun bonus. We took the 6:00 p.m. tour, and while we enjoyed it, it wasn't very spooky, so those looking for a more eerie experience may want to book a later tour. Overall, it was a great experience!
Spooky fun

5.00Fantastic tour! I learned so much New Orleans history, with some spooky ghost stories. Ariadne (Arty) was our tour guide and I couldn’t recommend her more. She was knowledgeable, had great storyteller skills, had all of us engaged, and was just generally a wonderful person to be around. Wish I could’ve stayed more and hear more lore about New Orleans. Until next time!

2.00Disappointing. This was a walking tour to view, from the outside, a few buildings where tragic events took place. It was intermingled with a few of the guides ghost stories You don't go into any buildings. It wasn't what we were expecting a ghost touri to be for the $30 it cost. Didn't waste your money.
Something touristy to do that was worth it.

5.00Gives you the background history that you may not actually hear about or read. It was a fun evening shared with my husband. Definitely recommend Ariande as your tour guide. She was knowledgeable and kept you interested.

5.00Ariadne was the best! Her story telling is phenomenal and her jokes kept things fun. I loved the way she added her personal ghost stories to an already spooky tour.
She’s a storyteller

5.00I have been on similar tours in other cities, but this one was the best. First, they divided the group into three smaller groups making the experience more intimate. Arty didn’t do her talk while walking, but she made sure everyone was close enough to hear what she had to say. She is a gifted storyteller and quite amiable. I highly recommend this experience. Thank you, Arty!

3.00We waited a half hour and found out that the driver was in an accident and and the tour wouldn’t be happening. (We understand that wasn’t in anyone’s control and no one’s fault). We can not give it a fair rating because it didn’t go on.
Just sign up!
