Multiple Tours - Fantastic Time and Great Tours with Guides Matthew and Lisa! - I was a first time visitor of New Orleans and only there for 2 days so wanted to pack in as much as I possible could. I did three Tours by Foot tours. Every city I go to I look for this company. The guides in each city have always been knowledgeable, great presenters, and provided overall wonderful tours. This city was no different!
I took two tours with Matthew - the French Quarter and Garden District tour. Both were wonderful, tying in some current knowledge with historical information. Matthew was superb in navigating the weather (it was hot in one tour - because July - and then rained right before the next one). It was smaller groups but Matthew kept the energy up and was quite helpful with other local recommendations. I definitely recommend taking a tour with Matthew!
The last tour I took in New Orleans with the Tours by Foot Spooks & Spirits with Lisa. Lisa was amazing! I actually thought of booking the same tour with Lisa the following day just to learn more. Another group ended up canceling and it was just me on this tour “group.” Lisa kept the energy up while ensuring I still got an amazing experience. She is local to the area and provided great insight to all the sites. She really made the city come to life in her story telling!!! I will definitely be seeking out Lisa on my next trip to New Orleans, I’d gladly attend any tour she would be doing, cannot recommend enough taking a tour with Lisa!

Andrew was considerate,... - Andrew was considerate, polite and very knowledgeable about the French Quarter History. He had wonderful stories and was engaging while telling them.
The tour went to interesting locations inspired by the spirits that could be residing there.

Great tour - Evian was very knowledgeable and had such a fun spin on the “horror”. We mostly enjoyed the in-depth knowledge and the willingness to answer all of our random questions. Evian is wildly knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans and the time flew by quickly! We were very grateful we had such personalized attention and the small size of the group. I know we had a much better experience than the large groups that passed by. Thanks for the flexibility too about the schedule. It was a perfect experience!

Boozy Ghost Tour - My bestie and I were visiting New Orleans. We did a Spooks and Spirits Pub Crawl with Lisa. We had the best time! Lisa was knowledgeable and fun. She kept us interested and answered any questions we had. She did an amazing job, and I'd love to do another tour with her. I would definitely recommend!

Girls weekend French Quarter tour - We really enjoyed our French Quarter tour. A friend and I had a girls weekend. Our guy‘s name was Matthew, and he was fantastic. Friendly, funny, and very informative. Told lots of great stories. He even sent a text prior to the meet time with his photos so we would know how to look for him. He gave a suggestions for where to go eat. Highly recommend the tours by foot. I’ve taken this French Quarter tour at least four times, the garden district one a few times, and even the ghost tour once. Every guide I’ve ever had has been wonderful. Thanks, Mathew!

Spooky Stories, Great Drinks, and an Amazing Guide! - We had an absolute blast on the Spooks & Spirits Pub Crawl with Lisa! She was engaging, funny, and full of fascinating (and spooky!) tales about the French Quarter’s haunted past. Walking through the historic streets at night added to the atmosphere, and each stop along the way brought a new pub with its own unique vibe.
Lisa really went above and beyond—she not only shared great ghost stories but also made sure we knew what each bar was known for, which helped us pick the perfect drink at each stop. She let us know which places were cash only and pointed out nearby ATMs, which was super helpful. On top of that, she offered fantastic dinner recommendations that we ended up trying—and loving.
If you’re looking for a fun and memorable night in New Orleans with a perfect blend of history, haunts, and happy hour, this is the tour to take. Highly recommend!

Great tour - Meri was a very nice and cute tour guide. I had a great experience with her. We went in a small group so I could easily follow and catch all the information. This is not those kinds of spooky tours that tryna scare people but an informative one.

More history than scares, but fantastic! - This was awesome! Evian was our tour guide, and they were fantastic. Super informative about the history of New Orleans. While not the most spooky, this was such a fun way to learn about the grim history of the city!

Disappointed Tour - Very disappointed. Did not go to 4 of the places listed on the itinerary that we really want to learn about. Tour guide walk ahead of us and never told us about anything along the, just talked about the few places we stopped at. Said it was a crowded night with other tours around. Ended tour 15 minutes early

Disappointed. Guide never showed up. Up to 30 days later to be Refunded - Tour guide never showed up. Waited awhile and sent several messages, no response. Asked if we needed to reschedule. Nothing. I then Submitted a refund request, which told me that It may take 7 days to approve or deny refund, and then 30 days to receive my money back. Wow, what a disappointing experience. So, we won't be able to take a tour while we are in New Orleans. Don't trust. Stay away.
