Cemeteries and odd NOLA history, well presented in a very comfortable 2 hr van drive. Loved it...
Oct 2020
This was my first chance to get my wife to New Orleans, and other than the fact the Quarter was only about 25-30% up and running (Corona crap) on a Mon/Tue night , this was definitely the highlight for my wife's visit.

The tour bus showed up a good 20 minutes early, we were all checked in and the tour started a few minutes ahead of time. The total mileage was probably only about 10-12, but fully half of the time was spent at the cemeteries listening to history and a plethora of great stories.

$45 (10/2020) may sound a little expensive, but when you consider it's a 2 hour tour, the seats are really comfortable, the driver knows the city, the guide presents the material consistently, and takes a few questions... I couldn't have been happier with the cost paid for the enjoyment and relaxation of not having to try and find these places myself... Even with navigation, NOLA is an interesting city (at best) to navigate, if you don't know it...

Excellent tour
Mar 2020 • Family
We took a tour of the St. Louis cemetery on our second day visiting New Orleans, and we wish we’d done it sooner. Our guide Gabriel was fantastic. He was extremely informative, funny and entertaining at the same time. My wife and I learned a great deal about the history of the city and would recommend this tour to anyone.

Thorn is a trooper!
Jul 2020
Even in the dead heat of the summer, with masks on and a busy quarter around him, Thorn was a phenomenal guide who you could always hear and cared to make sure you enjoyed yourself. He told stories very, very well. Only suggestion I might make would be to incorporate one more stop instead of spending time scrolling through ghost phone pictures at the end- the stories were far more impactful and interesting, especially since Thorn is such a great orator.

Haunted pub crawl
Jan 2020
Very disappointing. Tour guide talked so loud we could barely understand what he was saying. Advertised saying you get to sample drinks which implies no cost. Not so. At the first bar, my husband ordered a Bloody Mary which cost $13.50. We went to a private room to hear a story of a fire here, but there was no mention of any haunting. We bailed early.

Great guide! But....
Oct 2020
The tour guide was great! The stories very interesting.... not as scary as I hoped they be but great history lesson about New Orleans. So I highly recommend you take a tour! But ... if you don’t like walking fast or have a disability that prevents you walking fast and staying steady then I do not recommend. The tour was super fast pace was not able to enjoy the scenery. We had to book it to catch up. Also the sidewalks are in terrible shape so if you are prone to tripping watch out ( not the tours problem this is something I was surprised the city does not maintain). If you hard hard of hearing then stand near the guide it is very loud at times, it is New Orleans! Be aware the tour stated it would start and stop in the same location and it did not ! We stopped on the river.... nice scenery ( really sketchy area at 10:00 at night) but if you are planning your night/ rides on this you may want to verify your tour does end where it says it will. I personally would not take it again. I learned a lot and i enjoyed it. But it wasn’t the haunted scary tour I was expecting.

Really well known and famous tour...and very bland
Aug 2020
I was super excited to go on this tour. I had never been on a ghost tour before so I was thrilled it would be in New Orleans. I already knew that due to Covid we would be required to wear masks and we would not able to go into anywhere or stop at any bars so I expected to just walk and hear ghost stories. The tour guide, unfortunately, was very blasé and would end his stories very sarcastically such as “Annnnnd it was the poltergeist!” It seemed like he didn’t even believe it what he was as meant to be doing. Also we kept intersecting with the other groups from the same tour so we were constantly getting interrupted by having to move out of their way in the middle of the stories.

Good Way To Start Our Trip
Jan 2020 • Friends
I was visiting the city with a fairly large group, this tour was a good way to see sights in the city and get the history behind some of the buildings. It also stopped by the oldest bar in Louisiana. Our tour guide also gave us recommendations of where to eat after the tour was done. Overall good tour and stories but do recommend whoever you are to wear comfortable shoes, not a lot of walking, but wouldn't do it in heals.

Best Tours in New Orleans
Feb 2020
I had done my research when looking for tours and selected Haunted History because they have received amazing reviews - and they did not disappoint! We did the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 tour in the afternoon and the 5-in-1 Ghost tour at night (Feb 2, 2020). The tours are about 2 hours in length with a break in between. Both of our guides were great story tellers and extremely knowledgeable. We heard some great ghost stories and lore about New Orleans but most of all, learned so much about the rich history of this amazing city and their traditions. I can't wait to go back and would totally do these tours again!

Thorn
Nov 2020
We toured the Storyville/Treme area with Thorn as our knowledgeable guide. We were looking for a combination of history and ghost tour. Thorn did not disappoint, in fact, he exceeded our expectations as he was able to maintain the attention of our 11, 12 & 13 year old children for two hours. He threw in some education on Voodoo, and shared some personal ghost encounters. It was an educational and completely enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.

very interesting
Jul 2021
This was a very nice tour. Only problem is that they start multiple groups and supposedly send on different routes but at almost every corner we ran into 1 if not 2 or 3 groups. All the groups converged on the old historic bar at the same time. It was difficult to concentrate when you could hear the guides from the other tours at the same time our guide was talking. They should not just send on " different routes" they should stagger the times. Our guide was Squid and she did a wonderful job
