“★★★★★ I’ve taken quite a few walking tours in New Orleans and the several I’ve taken led by Edward Simon were hands down the most interesting, surprising, thoughtful, hilarious, deeply creepy, and absolute BEST. - Michael Cerveris, Star of 'Mindhunter'
Wanna get weird? Walk with us, fam.
Curated by parapsychologist Dr. Edward Simon, this adults-only walking tour time machine transports you back through the ill-fated settlement that famed occultist Aleister Crowley referred to as the “Quartier Macabre,” a city lost between life and God.
One night, we’ll uncover Gallatin Street's scandalous past as a bustling red-light district, or we may find ourselves at the doorstep of the city’s first witch coven, whispering legends of magick rituals before getting stirred by vampire lore at the Old Ursuline Convent.
Wherever the road travels, you’ll be led and engaged by a master storyteller tasked to make your stay in our city one you won’t soon forget.
Book fast, or forever rue, boo.

Old Ursuline Convent Museum
Our ghost tour pauses outside the gates of the Old Ursuline Convent, which has stood here since the early days of our city’s founding. Your guide recounts the legend of the casket girls - young women who traveled here long ago with peculiar chests in tow. According to lore, these cases contained unholy stowaways that still haunt the convent and streets nearby as vampiric beings to this day. As you gaze up at the decaying walls, you might wonder if something cursed still lurks within... Did the casket girls truly first usher vampires into New Orleans? Stand here after dark to hear the story and decide. Before we depart the convent grounds, listen closely for whispers on the wind.
After leaving the convent, we approach a grand, white-columned mansion that once belonged to Civil War general P.T. Beauregard before housing bestselling author Frances Parkinson Keyes. But not all who traversed this historic home's ornate rooms and parlors met a refined high society end. Over a hundred years ago, this was the site of one of the city's most infamous mafia hits. Some believe unsettled spirits still dwell here, caught in a phantom feud that continuously replays itself. As night falls, you may glimpse shadows of the conflict in the windows or hear faint echoes of the assassination that violently ended the rule of a notorious gangster.

I have done many French Quarter “ghost” tours over the past approx. 25 years. Dr. Edward Simon’s tour is a best in class and now my favorite. He keeps a smaller more conversational group, versus the loud gawker type guides in garish dress. He speaks to the facts versus going into emotion and sensationalism. I recommend him to anyone wanting a high quality historical learning experience yet still with much real humor and memorable stories you may spend the next weeks researching to grasp the full extent of the matter.

Edward was great! He brought the dark history of NOLO to life (er, death) for us and it was fantastic! We saw several other tours on ours and they looked very commercial and theatrical. If that's your vibe, go there. But if you want a more unique and intimate tour, Dr. Edward Simon is your guide.

Our whole family ( two generations of adults) thoroughly enjoyed our evening tour with Edward. I learned so much! And it was totally interesting. I appreciated that the ghost and gangster stories were based in true facts and enhanced with historical depth. Really, hearing the historical details was just what I wanted. I felt really fortunate that we had chosen THIS tour. Highly recommend.

Edward and his wife were very knowledgeable of New Orleans and Louisiana. They were engaging and entertaining. My husband and I were very happy with our selection and look forward to enjoying his podcast moving forward.

He was a fantastic story teller! I would recommend taking this tour, the smaller group was perfect and being able to ask questions (about more than just ghosts) was a great way to learn more about the city!

We visited the sites and heard the stories of some infamous stories of New Orleans, and some of the stories that inspired other ghost tales. The tour guide is engaging, passionate, and well informed on the stories covered as well as any related questions we had. There was a great mix of historical facts and the supernatural, making it interesting regardless of your belief in the supernatural. Another thing that made a great difference is the limited size of the group, definitely the tour to book!
