- janetmQ4816XV00Our guide, Christian, is a great storyeller!Our tour guide, Christian, is a master storyteller. NOLA obviously has a colorful past but Christian's flair, sense of humor and vast knowledge of his hometown really made this tour excellent.
- ABabs196100Ghost tour with RhodyWas a fun evening of drinks and ghost stories! Our guide Rhody was awesome and kept everyone entertained! Cool stories and a fun atmosphere.
- 410jameyb00Bad ass!Elaine was amazing! Funny, knowledgeable, and presentation was spot on! I’ve been on many ghost tours, but Elaine’s was probably the best of them all.
- Dream0172805368700Fun and wild tour with JJ!A super fun way to learn the history of the French quarter! JJ was absolutely amazing, so sweet, personable, and knowledgable! Not only did we learn about the quarter, we walked away with recommendations for the rest of our stay. She also went above and beyond, bringing me into the culture of New Orleans by safety pinning a dollar on me for my birthday! It really made my day! This is a tour that was much more history heavy than most ghost tours I’ve been on but regardless we had an amazing time! Thanks JJ!
- lorihR5520OY00Haunt d Pub crawl with guide, Rhodie!!!Rhode was awesome! Fun from the very start, great storyteller, who knows her stuff. 👻🍻. Our group had so much fun
- kagypsy00Very fun!Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun! We learned a lot, and it helped us get the lay of the land, since we did the tour our first day here.
- Resort6278697278000Good tour for fans of true crime!We did the killers and thrillers tour and found it very fun and interesting. Michael was a cool vibe and great story teller! He kept the group very entertained and had great knowledge of the town which he dotted into the tour as we walked. Easy walk and fun activity! At the end of the tour as we were all heading seperate ways, he checked in with us to make sure we were sorted getting home. Would recommend!
- chrissygjam00Must Do in Nola!My friends and I loved this tour. It gave a great historical overview of different areas of the French Quarter, and it was super walkable. Our tour guide Christian was AWESOME and an amazing storyteller. Highly recommend getting a tour with him.
- jlturner569000The real dealLauren was phenomenal. Immediately loved her, such a vibe. 10/10 recommend. You should book this with your people for sure!
- Excursion2521985398200Great experienceDo it! So fun, you get to see a lot of cool bars and hear great ghost stories! The host was fantastic. We had Lauren and Trainee Ashley and both were amazing.
- Nada/Mike B00Awesome Killers and Thrillers Tour!My husband and I visit New Orleans every couple years for Halloween/Our Anniversary. We have done touristy things here and there depending on the year and how we wanna shake things up, but this trip we wanted to do a tour. Lucky for us we ran into Christian and he just so happened to drop that he was a tour guide for Ghost City Tours and he was doing a Killers and Thrillers tour that night. We jumped on that opportunity so quick and lemme tell ya, BY FAR one of the THE BEST tour experiences we ever had. Christian does an amazing job of painting a nice morbidly descriptive picture in our heads as he tells each story with an awesome energy that is hard to naturally come by. There was plenty of rest time in between walking so it didn't even feel too long or tiring. (Especially with a few drinks in you lol). I highly highly highly recommend this tour. You won't regret it. And more importantly, we give 10 stars to Christian! Thank you so much for being a rad guide!
- Ashley C00Ghosts & Drinks!Rhodesia (Rhodie) was an amazing tour guide for our haunted pub crawl! So knowledgeable, sweet, and funny. Enjoyed the stops on the tour and learning about the interesting history behind each location. Rhodie had great stories & local knowledge - she also gave excellent drink recommendations! An awesome way to explore the French Quarter!
- kdube202300Christian (like the religion)My husband and I come to New Orleans every October, and we take a tour EVERY time. This tour was one of our favorites. Christian (like the religion) was a great storyteller, and we learned things we hadn’t learned yet (after 5 years of visits)!
- jdang100It was fine.Nice tour guide. Jaime is a sweet lady, but I was not wowed by this experience. I had a better ghost tour in St. Augustine, so that was the bar. I don’t need crazy embellishment or made up tales (truth always stranger than fiction!), but no real depth in this tour in my opinion.
- Jessica L00Mostly friendly ghostsSuch a fun tour with an excellent guide (Rhody)! We did the haunted pub crawl, which was a great walking tour plus an intro to some fun places and drinks. Several ghost stories but not creepy, so good for the faint of heart.

Christian was an amazingly passionate about sharing the stories of his home town, which led to all five stars!! My husband and I were absolutely impressed with his story telling and sense of humor put into his presentation at each stop. I definitely learned a great deal from this tour! I am so happy we took this tour with Christian. Do not hesitate to book this tour. It was difficult to find Christian because all the tours going on at the same time, but don’t hesitate to ask anyone and everyone if you’re at the right spot.

We booked this tour last minute and I can genuinely say that it was one of my favorite things on the trip. There is so much history and as we all know, New Orleans is big on ghost history. All the stops we did came with an excellent story told by our tour guide. You can tell she really enjoys what she does and she kept everyone on our group captivated. I can't believe so much has happened in New Orleans! If you're thinking of doing a ghost tour, do this one without hesitation. It gives your history, old stories and recent ones too (which makes it even more real). Loved the tour! would definitely do it again.

Our tour guide, Christian, was incredibly knowledgeable about New Orleans history. He provided us with elaborate historically accurate chilling tales of gruesome murders and stories of haunted locations around the French quarter near Jackson Square. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in a haunted night with a strong stomach.

My husband and I took this Killers and Thrillers tour with Christian. He was fantastic! We had a great time listening to the dark, macabre, twisted, and tragic tales that abound in New Orleans history. These include historical events as well as some more recent ones. The stories were well told and researched. Christian is an excellent storyteller - speaking clearly and dramatically as he recounted the events that took place. Highly recommended!

Joshua was a terrific and engaging guide for our tour tonight. We most enjoyed how he told the stories in different ways to get everyone interested but also arrived at the factual conclusions too. It was a fun and historically relevant walk through the city, and we would recommend it for sure.

I believe the lady that was our guide was named Elaine! Had a cool cyberpunk style. She was very knowledgeable on all the locations and impressively told each story in a way that was easy to understand just like listening to a podcast or watching a movie. Any questions we had she knew the answer and knew a lot of interesting facts surrounding our question explaining why things are the way they were. She also added her own fun way of explaining some things which kept everyone engaged despite the muggy weather conditions. Overall great experience and would love to come back with friends (hopefully when it's less muggy)!

This review is specifically for Christian (like the religion). I cannot say enough about this guy. He guided us on the Killers and Thrillers tour and was so knowledgeable he could have help written the documentaries about the stories of New Orleans. He's comical, entertaining, and passionate. So many people outside of the tour interrupted him and he was so kind to help direct them. His storytelling is so intriguing and captivating but he was also respectful to the most sensitive parts of these true stories. Honestly, I don't know how he does it. Speaking over the loud noises, walking and talking through the heat, ensuring that the group stayed safe. That's a lot and he exceeded all expectations. Thank you Christian!

We were lucky to have Christian as our tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable of the local history (which is to be expected on such a tour), but his delivery of the stories surround some of the seedier aspects of New Orleans's history was absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend!

Christian was our guide. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, engaging. He made the stories come alive through his animated storytelling. He encouraged questions and knows so much about the city and its culture. We recommend this tour, especially after dark and with Christian if possible. 5 gold stars!

Our tour guide Michael was phenomenal. His tour was informative and historically accurate which I appreciated very much. He was so engaging that our group of about 30 listened intently the entire time. He had a sense of humor without white washing the facts of the brutal history of New Orleans. I highly recommend both the tour as well as the tour guide Michale.

Which buildings/sites are visited on this tour aside from the LaLaurie Mansion?
Katelyn J
Baton Rouge, LA
There is a fair amount of walking on the tour. You visit the LaLaurie Mansion, the Ursuline, the Sultan's Palace, the Bourbon Orleans Hotel, the Beauregard-Keyes House, the Hotel Villa Convento, and ends at Marie Laveau's house. All the while the guide tells stories about crazy residents, especially women, who lived in New Orleans and were infamous.
