We had a great time and so many stories!! My brain was full to capacity with all the tales of the bad broads of New Orleans!! I loved it and it was on my birthday so a great way to spend the evening....and we got to see a 2nd line before our tour started, which was a great bonus that our tour guide made sure that we got to see.
Uma is so great! Charismatic and knowledgeable and her tour was a wonderful way to wrap up an evening. Looking forward to coming back with my partner and doing it again!
I signed up for this tour because it didn’t has a ghost focus… but apparently many others are looking for that, so the guide did throw in a couple of spooky tidbits. Our guide was very thorough and I loved her detailed story telling! The only improvements I could say are: 1. Extend the tour to 2 hours 2. Add a bathroom break in the middle 3. End the tour in the place you started - as a solo female traveler I didn’t like just being left at Jackson square. Otherwise- fantastic tour!
What a wonderful story teller Luis,our guide,is. He really set the scene of New Orleans back in the day. The tales were interesting, a little history thrown in and creepy!! Highly recommend!!
Luis was witty and a lot of fun. This tour covers some people and places that others don't. We had a great time.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. She had a great sense of the history behind her storytelling My only feedback would be that they should indicate that the tour would be 2 hours, not an hour and a half. Otherwise I will absolutely recommend this tour.
I loved our tour guide, Morgan. She was informative and funny! She took us to great spots where thing really go bump in the night. Good exercise while listening to ghost stories and seeing the history of iconic women of New Orleans.
Went on the tour on a hot September night. Pinky, our tour guide, was amazing! She was convincing and pointed out times and places where historical events happened. Would love to do this tour or any other others with her!
Pinky was awesome! She was a great story teller. We walked with her a bit while walking back to our car after the. tour and she continued to tell stories and point out fun tidbits along the way. great tour! Thanks, pinky!!
We stumbled upon this tour company towards the end of a long day, and it was the perfect way to cap off the night. Dalton - our guide - was funny, energetic and generous with his time, as he walked us through funny and harrowing stories of famous New Orleans women.
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the ghost tour and learned so much about New Orleans' haunted history. We’re excited to have you hooked—hope to see you on another tour soon!
