Chris is our favorite! - Chris was the best! He was so informative and knew sooo much about the locations we were at. It seems like he goes there outside of tours and it makes it feel so much more authentic. Thank you to Chris for giving us such a great experience.

Knowledgeable tour of several cemeteries in New Orleans - Our tour guide Spooky Rob was incredibly knowledgeable of the history in New Orleans and the cemeteries we visited! He was also willing to give insider recommendations of bars/restaurants in our area. Starting and ending points are very close to the streetcar stop making an easy visit. Tip: get the Jazzy Pass for the RTA it’s very affordable for the streetcars.

So many dead people - Our guide Chris was very personable and knowledgeable about the cemeteries we visited. We learned some cool stuff about burial practices in NOLA and the symbolism on the mausoleums. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn about local burial practices.

Ghost Tour - Logan had so much knowledge about the French Quarter. He was very animated. He made the tour very enjoyable. He took on extra that lead to over a two hour tour for our admission price! I highly recommend him and tour company.
