THIS is the sacred ground where centuries of unforgettable, intense characters…

Joshua was well informed about the history of various events that took place in the French Quarters years ago. He patiently waited to see if we had questions. It is very obvious that Joshua loves what he does and is eager to share his knowledge with the throngs of people who sign up for the ghost tours.

Liked the first one so we booked a second tour. - After attending the Garden Tour that Libby hosted we decided to attend another tour and picked the night time ghost tour hosted by Joshua. Both tours were a lot of fun and filled with a lot of history, stories, and conversation. This is a tour I would recommend for everyone. I was suffering from a foot injury and was able to follow along and participate with everyone.

Fantastic tour - Our guide was so good. He has story telling skills and the stories he presented were fascinating and will be sending me down the rabbit hole on several of the tales he told. The pictures were my attempt to capture a picture of a spirit, but to no avail!

Factual info —nothing scary but very interesting - There was nothing really scary about this tour but it was very informative—-more of a history tour of some haunted type info—but mostly facts. We enjoyed it. If you like learning new things about NOLA French Quarter- you’ll enjoy it. Our tour guide , Joshua, was friendly and knowledgeable
