    Just ok
    Our guide was a good guy. Some interesting facts. Stories were not very engaging. The 'device' was fun enough. Guide integrated bathroom and drink stops well.

    Halloween Fun
    Great experience! The tour was added fun with drinks. The paranormal equipment was a great addition to the ghost and supernatural stories. My favorite location was definitely the LaLaurie Mansion known as the most haunted house in the city of New Orleans even though there were tons of ghost stories and locations along the route that was my favorite. The history added by the guide helped us understand why there are hauntings taking place at the locations along the route we took. This was a great experience. Thanks!

    The Best Tour Ever !!!
    I had the privilege to be on an amazing Drunken Ghost and Vampire tour of the French Quarter. The Tour Guide( Coty )was absolutely amazing and very detailed. I was absolutely blowed away. So if your looking for a tour of the French Quarter on spooks and Vampires these are definitely the ones!

    Although , our guide was Very nice. This basically turned out to just be a history tour. It’s very deceptive from the selling photograph.

    A disappointing experience
    We eagerly anticipated a tour a friend recommended, with our two children in tow. Despite arriving punctually, the tour guide failed to appear. We waited expectantly on a street corner outside a bar for 30 minutes. Attempts to contact the provided number were futile as it was disconnected. After asking around, we reached Trip Advisor, who assured us of a callback from the tour organizers. However, no one contacted us. Eventually, we called the tour number provided by Trip Advisor and learned that the tour had been canceled. The lack of communication regarding the cancellation was incredibly disappointing and upsetting.

    New Orleans Drunk History is where the fun is at!!
    This tour made our trip to New a Orleans absolutely amazing. We laughed so much and had so much fun and learned a lot during the tour. It lasted for around 2 hours and there was not a moment of boredom. I spoke with Ashli the lady who owns the company and she’s a riot! She helped us plan our trip down to the parking spot and checked in on us. The guide Coty was awesome. He was attentive with a great personality full of enthusiasm and information regarding the city. This tour cannot be missed out on. I knew it was going to be fun but I couldn’t have anticipated just how great it was. Thanks guys!! We look forward to seeing yall again.

    GREAT DRUNK GHOST & VAMPIRE EXPERIENCE
    Great Experience!! We had so much fun and learned a lot of information about the city. We drank we laughed we had fun! It was definitely worth every penny and more! Looking forward to our next tour with y’all! The tour had the perfect mix of everything Nola and the drink stops which was the cherry on top for our group. The guide was professional and he made sure we went at a good pace for us who were a little tipsy! The only problem I had was when I was walking out from the bar after getting a drink and a woman near the meeting spot was confusing me asking me if I was there for a tour when I told her what tour I was attending she said that’s not here but thankfully our tour guide noticed what was happening and directed us on over to our group! Come to find out it was another tour company that was trying to get me to believe that my guide wasn’t coming I guess they wanted my business! Don’t be fooled by that woman she’s shady!

    Did t happen
    We arrived at 645 at the address and there was no sign or any way to tell where the tour was going to be so I asked the bartender and they said they had no affiliation with the tours. We waited until about 5 till and I started calling the numbers and no one answered as a matter of fact the phone was off. I walked around looking for a tour and I did see this guy and he looked right at me and didn’t say a word and I didn’t want to ask a random guy if he was a tour guide. He sis not look happy or inviting either. Long story but the person with the phone number turned their phone on at 715 and started sending me all these pictures and fake text messages say I wasn’t there. I want my money back so now I will have to jump through hoops!!

Great experience

I feel like I’ve lived in nola my entire life. This is a wonderful tour that provides historical info but also a little bit of everything and our guide was amazing
I loved having a knowledgeable local guide with a sense of humor. I booked the tour bc my friends insisted that we attend a tour with this company. The said Ashli -who’s the owner and who also created the New Orleans Drunk History Tour which is awesome one of the best tours in my opinion is the sweetest and will go out of her way to ensure we have fun (my friends were on point) Ashli made sure we had the best time while we were here. She helped me plan the trip which wasn’t here Job or responsibility but I could see she did it because she enjoys it. She is AWESOME. The tour guides we had (we went on multiple tours with her company) were all exceptional and the tours are top notch. I always try to support small businesses and this is a small business that deserves recognition! Keep up the amazing work! Each of you are doing an excellent job and it is appreciated. I went on a couple other tours that are operated by other tour companies and I was very disappointed we were completely disgusted by “Ghost Riders” who I thought was Ashli’s company because they use her company name as their website address they were disrespectful and get this they charge money to reschedule a tour!!! They no showed ME & my husband and then wanted to charge ME!!! To reschedule the tour that’s what I call scammers!

Book this tour and if you want to go on additional tours I’m sure ashli will help you book from the variety they offer so you do not hear the same stories on tours.

Enjoy your tour with Ashli and her crew like we did! Book now!
