About
New Orleans is the city every vampire fan should visit, especially if you’re a fan of the FX television series The Originals, which is a spin-off of the famous Vampire Diaries series. New Orleans’ French Quarter is the city the original vampires, Niklaus (Klaus), Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson called their true home. Thanks to Anne Rice’s vampire chronicles and Mayfair Witches series, New Orleans has always been famous for its vampire and witches drama.
The Travel Channel rated New Orleans as the #2 Best Vampire Destination in the World. As a matter of fact the French Quarter has a history of all things paranormal, whether it’s vampires, witches, werewolves or voodoo. No wonder the Mikaelsson clan moved back to their French Quarter home.
Come and let New Orleans Film Tours transcend you into The Originals universe for a couple of hours. Relive and assimilate all the thrills and chills, step-by-bloody steps.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- L4960MItracys0 contributionsNCIS New Orleans Fan TourCancelled due to tour guide ill & for rest of week due to Coronavirus panic. Disappointed and thought additional tours could have been added to make up for cancellation. I’m sure other guides would have been willing to take on tours to make up for cancellations.Written March 12, 2020
- William B0 contributionsInformative tourThis is a very informative tour. Bea knows everything about NCIS New Orleans. Too bad there wasn't any filming occurring!Written February 21, 2020
- clydes4520 contributionsNot worth the time or moneyFelt really cheated. Left after one hour. It is a long drawn out synopsis of individual episodes at each stop. They are not connected to the show and it shows. This is walking tour that they have put together that anyone could if they knew the city and watched the show. Me and my wife were very disappointed. Nothing to learn about the making of the show and how it is filmed because they don’t know.Written February 9, 2020
- ChocolateDale0 contributionsWalking in the NCIS New Orleans stepsA must do for all NCIS New Orleans fans. Bea takes you to many NCIS film locations and shows you on her tablet scenes from different episodes.Written January 11, 2020
- 53vir0 contributionsNCIS New Orleans Fans TourI was the only one who signed up for the tour, and Bea was a great tour leader. The depth of her knowledge about the series and its individual episodes was outstanding, and she really made the city and the series come alive.Written November 26, 2019
- Devinee W0 contributionsA NCIS New Orleans must do!!!It is a great adventure! Ms B was knowledgeable, fun, interesting. Not only to do see and learn about certain filming areas, but you learn more about the History of New Orleans. I would do the trip again.Written November 22, 2019
- jenmacias0 contributionsWaste of money, google search the spots and go yourselfIt was cool to see the spots the originals was filmed at, but a lot of talking was done. I felt like all the tour guide did in every spot is explain exactly what happened on the show, it was a bit unnecessary. Definitely pricey for what it is, and I don’t recommend it.Written November 16, 2019
- gail85anderson0 contributionsGreat Tour GuideBea was such a refreshing face to have as your guide. She showed us lots of different places that's in the show. She also made the tour very interesting showing us all the hot spots within the show.Written November 13, 2019

Our tour guide, Bea, was great at providing so much information during the tour that 2 hours seemed to fly by.

I have to admit that I am absolutely a fan of The Originals and I loved every minute of the tour. My husband, who is not really a fan of the show, really enjoyed himself too. Our tour guide was engaging and really knowledgeable. This is a must-do!

In town for our 22nd Anniversary and my wife is/was a big of The Originals! When she saw this we had to attend. Having only watched the show moderately myself, I wasn't sure what to expect. Our tour guide Bea was amazing. She kept us all very interested and her colorful descriptions and details of the show was outstanding, There was a lot of walking but we kept going to hear more as she kept us captivated until the end. Outstanding job Bea and Thank you for the informative and enlightening tour,

B was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide! Meet up was on time and prompt. Bring a camera and walking shoes! B gives background information on the sites that were visited then allows time for photos if desired! I would go back on this tour again and again!

If you’re a TVD or an Originals fan - this is the tour for you and a must do! B was fantastic! She even had an iPad with still photos of scenes for each stop on the tour. Make sure you bring a friend to help you recreate scenes as personal souvenirs. Also, unlike other tours you make take in the city this waking your will last the entire 2 hours so be prepared with appropriate clothing and shoes!
