Walk through the French Quarter for 1 hour 45 minutes with guides such as Spooky Rob, Lisa, Logan, and Juju. Hear true history, voodoo lore, vampire legends, and grisly tales tied to LaLaurie Mansion, Jackson Square, the Pharmacy Museum, and Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop.
“Very informative and amusing for ghost’s story fans. Logan is very good. But too many people in the group”

Hear carefully researched tales of true crime, voodoo, vampires, and haunted homes, with a midway restroom stop and optional VIP Hellvision projections. The tour stays outdoors and is limited to ages 17 and older.
“Fun evening with JJ in New Orleans. A wealth of information shared in an engaging manner, our whole party of 7 people enjoyed this tour. Very educational with lots of New Orleans history, as well as the expected ghost stories. Highly recommend, especially if you get JJ as your guide.”
Walk the French Quarter after dark with guides such as Morgan, Chris, Scott, or Tony, hearing uncensored tales of vampires, voodoo, haunted homes, and grim New Orleans history. The 90-minute, 21+ tour stays outdoors, with stops near Jackson Square, Royal Street, the Old Ursuline Convent, and LaLaurie Mansion.
“The food and entertainment could be a lot better. The food was salty and the desert tasted blar. The drinks was god.”
Walk from North Rampart Street to Jackson Square with a local guide such as Randy, Yvette, or Mikey. Expect haunted sites, Madame LaLaurie’s grim story, French Quarter history, and vampire lore, all told from the sidewalks in English. The group can reach 28 people.
“Randy is a gem and a fabulous tour guide. He was informative, engaging, and funny to boot! He spoke of delicate topics with respect and the tour never felt exploitative. Highly recommend this tour—and very much appreciated the bathroom break halfway. Thank you!”
Join Haunted History Tours at 8:30 pm for a two-hour French Quarter walk led by guides such as Rose Sinister, Chase, or Gwidon. Hear vampire legends, police-report scandals, film stories, and local history before visiting Boutique Du Vampyre and a noted vampire tavern.
“My wife and I did this tour with Gwidon who was informative and fun. He brought the history and folklore of both French Quater and vampires to life. 10/10 recommend him and would happily take this (or really any) tour with him again.”
Walk through the French Quarter with a guide such as Gomez, Jamie, DJ, or Orion, hearing stories of voodoo, vampires, pirates, executions, and haunted places. The 90-minute route includes Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar, Pirates Alley, Jackson Square, and time for paranormal photos.
“DJ was a great tour guide! He had lots of information, good stories and pictures. He was absolutely silly goofy and was super slay. Give him a raise.”
Walk New Orleans’ French Quarter with an adult-focused guide such as Yah Yah Universe, Mia, or Mistress G. Hear graphic ghost, vampire, voodoo, and true-crime stories at Jackson Square, Pirates Alley, LaLaurie Mansion, and haunted hotels, with a bar break along the way.
“Yah-Yah was so entertaining!! We learned so much about the history of this beautiful city! We definitely lucked out with her!! She is the best!!! Thanks again Yah-Yah!!!! Meow 😻”
Walk from Armstrong Park through the French Quarter with guides such as Doug, Elaine, Ricardo, or The Professor. Hear about voodoo, the Axeman, Madame LaLaurie, and haunted bars. Choose a standard tour or HELLVISION, which uses handheld projectors to recreate grim scenes.
“Our tour was amazing. It is not necessarily a haunted tour but a tour about crime, mystery and history. Our guide was very informative as well as thoughtful and personable. We took bathroom and drink breaks. She even stayed after the tour was over to answer questions and just talk. I highly recommend.”
Join an adults-only 105-minute walk through New Orleans’ French Quarter at 8:00 PM. Your English-speaking guide, such as Katherine, Angela, Wolfy, or Toby, shares ghostly tales and local history for groups of up to 16. Start with 2-for-1 hurricane cocktails at the Voodoo Lounge.
“I think our tour guide Toby was under the influence of drugs. Very sweaty, talking fast, fidgety, pale, and losing focus a lot. Also didn’t feel like I got as many cool stories and facts as I expected.”
A walk, a graveyard, a crawl or a full investigation.
