    Good tour
    Christian was great! Personable, funny, and enthusiastic even though there were only two of us and it was 105 degrees. Let us ask anything we wanted and had good insight beyond the planned stops of the tour!

    Such a great way to experience the French Quarter...
    We had a great tour! It was so much fun having a knowledgeable guide telling us stories about some of the very interesting (and dangerous!) women who were part of New Orleans' history. I'm glad we chose this tour. We had fun waiting inside the shop checking out their merch before the tour started. The tour itself was perfectly paced and we saw more than expected. We ended up right outside Marie Laveau's house, a fitting end to the experience.

    Lackluster tour that should be a pasd
    We arrived at the designated shop early and were met with a friendly staff member, we gave our names and then returned to a packed shop at the designated time. After waiting around for a bit, I approached the new staff member that was at the desk and asked about the tour and what to expect. To my surprise, she then told us that our tour would meet out on the sidewalk, and that our tour guide was a guy with "braids". Apparently everyone in the shop were waiting for other tours. My husband and I were given a private tour by Josh since we were the only ones that signed up. It was a disappointment because we signed up to have conversation with other vacationers. The bars that we visited had an interesting history and were some that we wouldn't have normally known about. The tour guide does not go into the bars with you, nor does he recommend beverages that are quintessential for each bar, leaving you lost and unsure about what to choose. Overall, it was a lackluster experience that began in a well lit part of town and ended up in a dark, quiet alley. (Tripadvisor has the wrong start and finish location listed). It would have been better to end the tour where we began in order to know where we were and have more opportunities to socialize.

    A good walking tour
    We had Toast as our guide, and we were on the True Crime tour. For those who love true crime, this is your tour, and Toast is the man to guide you. I only rated this tour a 4 because I am not that into true crime, but if I was I would definitely rate a 5.

    Nighttime Tour
    Such a great tour! Elaine really knows her stuff. My bachelorette group had a great time. Not only did we learn about the history of these murderesses she also gave us plenty of architectural and historical tidbits. There is mature subject matter so make sure you are ready for it. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    Great bar stops and great stories!
    We booked this tour after another one with another company cancelled on us. We're so glad we ended up doing this one. We appreciated the different stories this tour offered, as it dove into some stories that are not as common as the big ones in the French Quarter and thus more interesting. Rhodesia was our guide and she was great! Incredibly personable and gave a lot of additional history and stories. This tour offers 4 different bar stops, all with a unique flair or signature drink.

    Great Twist on a Ghost Tour
    Elaine was great! The French Quarter has a slew of awesome female historical characters and Elaine did a great job entertaining with her stories of these figures. The content of this tour is refreshing with its focus. Also, shout out to the Ghost City Tours store; they're super nice!

    Killers and thrillers
    Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The crimes described were more recent than we had expected/hoped but we still enjoyed the tour.

    Meh...
    The sights were good and it was nice to see areas in New Orleans we hadn't seen yet, but the tour wasn't all that entertaining. It seemed the other your guides we passed were having a better time telling these stories and were a lot more entertaining than ours. It surely wasn't worth $50 for 2 people.

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.

Worst customer service experience of my life.

When the tour guide did not arrive at the meeting spot, I called customer service. They told me that the tour I booked and paid for through Expedia did not exist. The agent was accusatory, dismissive, unprofessional. When I asked for documentation stating that they do not offer the tour that I booked, the agent proceeded to call me pet names and ultimately hung up on me. The agent refused to issue a refund due to a strict "no refund" policy despite the circumstances. My credit card company has refunded me and is launching an investigation into Expedia and Ghost City Tours to determine how this miscommunication occurred.

*Edit* After speaking with the management team, I have been informed that the agent I spoke with is no longer employed by Ghost City Tours.

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!

We are not big believers in the supernatural however we knew it was essential to do one of these tours while visiting. We missed our tour the first night and were allowed to reschedule with no issue! They were so accommodating! When we finally made it to our tour, we met with Lisa. She was very respectful of all Covid-19 rules and we began our tour. We started at Muriel's and based on her incredible storytelling and wealth of knowledge we decided to actually eat there the next day (do it. now. its awesome) We then learned about a couple things while we walked to the Convent. This was followed by the LaLaurie mansion and then some more stops after that ( I don't want to give the whole tour away!) We never felt rushed, she was so polite and welcoming, true southern hospitality. I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn a lot about the city and it's haunts. Thank you Lisa and Ghost City Tours!

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!

I have no idea whether this tour is good with other guides, but with Sydney it is a delight! She clearly has a gift for connecting with people and customizing in real time what kind of tour works for them. She also had suggestions for getting the most out of the city, and "in this economy?!!" to quote her, that's a huge help! I never expected to laugh so much on a guided tour, but Sydney kept us cracking up. In summary: if any TV producers are reading this, get in touch with her immediately and make her an offer.

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!

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!

This should be renamed to Ghosts AND VAMPIRE tour. Niel was our guide and he was really knowledgeable. He took us back in time and painted a very surreal picture of the New Orleans "night life" !
Loved his insights and his inside information about the Monk Ghost!
You will definitely want to do this one !
