Best tour - Dane was so much fun and very knowledgeable on everything we asked.
We explored all the well known places and even some other hidden gems. We didn't feel rushed, were able to take our time and soak in all the beauty.

Excellent Tour - Josh was a sweet guy and told good stories and history. We ended up being the only 2 people on this tour, so it was a really nice touch to have Josh all to ourselves! I recommend a Sunday evening as it was much quieter in The Quarter.

One of the most well done ghost tours I've been on - Such a fun tour and engaging guide! The guide added in additional stories for our group based on our interests throughout the tour. Loved the small group size. We were torn trying to pick a ghost tour for New Orleans, but this one was perfect! If you're looking for a really engaging, fact-based ghost tour with a bit of true crime, vampires, and local cocktails mixed in, then we highly recommend this tour!

Fun ghost tour! - Loved this tour! It was a great combo of legends and history. We made two bar stops which was the perfect to grab a drink to walk with. Our guide Evan was perfect- low key, but funny and knowledgeable. Recommend!!

Fun way to spend an evening - Our tour guide was full of fun information. He shared what he has been able to prove as fact and what is a myth or just not able to prove. Lots of fun.

The guide was great! She... - The guide was great! She was very passionate and engaging! However, the "what to expect" didn't really happen. We were looking forward to visiting some of those places and the bars mentioned, but we only went to one bar, which was a hotel bar and not on the "what to expect" list. Just would have liked to have stuck to that since that is what intrigued us the most after reading it.
