lauren was an AMAZING tour guide. seemed to believe what she was saying and loved to engage with us. I enjoyed talking about local legends and unsolved mysteries. whatever she's getting paid is not enough for her knowledge and love of the city and her interaction with the guided of all ages. even when the tour was over she spent a lot of time speaking with our group afterwards about our stay within the city and telling

Lisa was fabulous! I’m a ghost tour guide in my own rite in another haunted city, so I know a good guide when I see one. I could see her dedication in every word. She took precautions to keep us safe throughout the entire tour. Overall my favorite aspect of her was her attention to detail and respect for the historical record. I have two degrees in history myself, so her not being afraid to say, “unless it’s documented, I won’t say it to be true,” was impressive and important to me. She used the information she had on hand and made it spooky rather than promoting misinformation just for the hook of a story. That’s the mark of a good ghost guide. Ask for Lisa!!

This was my second time doing a ghost tour in New Orleans and it was amazing! Our guide Neil was so knowledgeable about the city of New Orleans and the people who established it and all of the events that occurred to make it a spooky city. Neil provided us with additional stories and facts that I never knew from my history book and he provided additional resources to learn more about the tragic and supernatural events in New Orleans. An absolutely amazing tour I will definitely recommend him to all of my friends and family members who are looking for a great tour. History lovers Neil your guy even if you aren’t I promise he won’t disappoint you!

I was hoping that I wouldn’t get solicited with my opinion because I really didn’t want to give it. The tour was not what was advertised. We booked the ghost tour however our guide talked about history for 98% of the tour and by the time he mentioned something about ghosts everyone was bored stiff and missed the very short comment. We ended our tour early and the couple with us joked about ending theirs too. I would not recommend this tour at all unless you want a history tour. It could’ve just been our guide (older gentleman) but would not recommend if you want a ghost tour, not to mention he asked for a 5 star rating on multiple occasions. I did obtain a pic from Muriels but that was the only highlight of the tour but they could’ve kept that experience had I of know what was to come. The tour started like this within the first 5 minutes and we were going to leave then but the Muriels event gave us some hope which was soon dashed. I wasn’t going to leave a review however with the amount of money that we wasted on the tour I wouldn’t want others to have the same experience.

We're sorry to see that you didn't have a good experience on our Ghosts of New Orleans Tour. Our tours do cover a lot of historical information. I would suggest that you try one of our adults on tours in the future as they dive deeper into the gruesome aspects of the history. Thank you for touring with us and taking the time to leave a review.

Our guide, Lauren, did a fine job, despite being very hoarse and losing her voice. But unfortunately, with a tour group of about 28 it was still very difficult to hear at times. In fact, There were so many tours being held concurrently in the same vicinity, that it was often easier to hear the tour guide from other groups! And it was disappointing to see all the young children, and even a baby in a stroller on the tour. The tour guide said a couple of times she would provide the rest of the information when the children weren’t listening, but that never happened, to our knowledge at least. And it was difficult enough navigating the streets and sidewalks of New Orleans in the dark without having to dodge a baby in a stroller! Smaller size groups, no children, and fewer tours happening at the same time would have greatly enhanced our experience!

Our tour guide Lauren was hilarious and really charismatic. She had a lot of interesting information about the history of New Orleans and highlighted a few buildings. I opted not to do the "scarier" tour, and this was creepy enough! Only downside (which is unavoidable) is that several other tours are going on at the same time and location, but everyone was able to spread out.

This was an amazing tour for my family and I. My kids, ages 10 and 11 really enjoyed it and got sufficient spooky stories without being too scared to sleep. Lisa was a wonderful story teller and made us feel very safe, entertained and held my kids attention on our first night in town. She took her time to answer questions, elaborate and add some interesting tid-bits about the city that weren't about hauntings. This was a fun tour for us adults too, lots of creepy tales and opportunities for fantastic photos. I may have captured a ghost in my photo at the ghost table at Muriels! My daughter swears that she saw the napkins move when I snapped it! This tour also gave us a good feel for the city and how to get around town throughthe rest of our stay. Highly recommend!

The Ghost City Tour of New Orleans was spectacular. It not only gave a great perspective on the city, but definitely lived up to the hype of ghost history that New Orleans is famous for. Rhodesia was a FANTASIC tour guide and my friends and I so thankful for her tour. Would recommend to anyone seeking a thrill like this in New Orleans.

This was a great tour, all thanks to our amazing tour guide Lauren! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. I loved that she combined true New Orleans history with the ghost spookiness, and she was entertaining and informative while always acknowledging the seriousness of some of the stories she told. She also gave recommendations for other great places to visit in New Orleans, and walked some directionally challenged tourists towards delicious beignets from Cafe Du Monde after the tour. If you decide to do a ghost tour with Ghost City Tours, consider yourself extremely lucky if Lauren is your guide!

If you are looking for an educational tour on the ghost of NOLA which is also super fun them this is the best you can find. Our guide was Lisa and she was superb. She gave us a very detailed account of all the haunted sights and even added a little extra with funny anecdotes. She was a great help when it came to local restaurants recommendations. We and our 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed this experience!

Not along the tour but since the tour meets in Jackson Square you can run into a bar and grab a drink to go.

Hi, I was wondering if the haunted pub crawl includes drinks at each stop or if the alcohol has to be purchased separately? Thanks

I didn't do the pub crawl, but I seriously doubt that the tour would include drinks. You need to get all the details of the tour before signing on....either way, have a super time in New Orleans!

Hi,
We just finished the French Quarter walking tour and I noticed some of the pics on this tour are the same as what we seen today. Is there anyway we could do the haunted pub crawl instead? Is that available today or tomorrow?
If not is this different then the walking tour? Do you go in different buildings?
Thank you,
Toni
