Overview

Take a romp through the haunted French Quarter on this famous New Orleans ghost tour. During your 2-hour evening walking tour, explore the grim and ghastly deeds of New Orleans’ haunted history as you follow your entertaining guide down dark and sinister streets. You’ll learn about infamous events that occurred long ago and be chilled by evidence of phantoms and ghosts that abound!

This is the original ghost tour of New Orleans. We are the oldest and largest walking tour company in the city. We are not only locals, we are natives to New Orleans. These are the ghostly tales that we heard growing up in and around the most unique city in America.

Our guides are licensed by the city. Our guides love their city and are proud to share their stories as well as some of their own personal encounters with the ghosts of New Orleans. Our tours are theatrically presented but are all historically accurate.
