Fun tour of the haunted...

Fun tour of the haunted sites. The knowledge of the area was great. The walk was not too long for most age groups and family friendly.

A Fun Spooky Tour!

A fun spooky tour that gives you a nice lay of the land too! Kamille was an engaging and funny tour kind, who clearly enjoys storytelling. Our group had many minors, so it felt like the tour catered to less salacious stories. Visited an interesting array of places! If you are a fan of "The Vampire Diaries/The Originals" you also get to see a few filming locations.

Wonderfully Spooky

We took the evening walking tour and it was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Coby was very animated and brought the stories to life. He made it interactive and was patient with everyone. I would recommend this to anyone who likes ghost stories or true crime as they're both represented in the tour.

Night out

Catie was an amazing host. Her depth of knowledge of New Orleans lore was on point. She was engaging and was able to gage the pace that the group needed to be at all while fighting the loud sounds of the streets.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this. Catie brings such incredible knowledge, energy, and storytelling to the New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour, and we love hearing how much you enjoyed her engaging approach. Navigating the lively sounds of the French Quarter while keeping everyone connected to the stories is no small task, and we are glad she was able to keep the group comfortable and engaged throughout the experience. We truly appreciate you sharing this.

Ghosts, vampires and...

Ghosts, vampires and voodoo were hardly mentioned. History given was baseline and sometimes, false. We actually left the tour early, and we weren’t the only ones from the tour to do so.

Operator response

Hi Amanda, this is definitely a surprise to us and I'm so sorry to hear it. Please reach out to us at manager@witchesbrewtours.com so we can investigate this further. Thank you.

Spooky Rob is the best tour guide in the FQ!

We went on 4 tours last weekend, and this tour was BY FAR the best of the weekend! Spooky Rob was awesome with his knowledge of the history of the FQ, vampires, and Voodoo. He really customized the tour for us and absolutely made it special for my wife. This was a bucket list trip for her, and as an Originals/TVD superfan, Spooky Rob could not have done a better job! We will not soon forget this trip, all because of Spooky Rob!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this incredible review. Spooky Rob brings such outstanding knowledge, passion, and storytelling to the New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour, and we love hearing that he made this experience the highlight of your weekend. It means so much to know that he took the time to personalize the tour and help make your wife's bucket list trip so special. We especially love hearing that he was able to incorporate interests like The Originals and The Vampire Diaries while still sharing the rich history, vampire lore, and voodoo traditions of New Orleans. Creating those memorable moments is exactly what we hope for, and it sounds like Spooky Rob delivered in every way. Thank you for choosing the New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour and for sharing such kind words. We will be sure to pass this along to Rob. It will absolutely make his day.
