The Blackest Ghost Tour: Ages 17 and Above
Description
Ready to embark on a journey through the haunted streets of the French Quarter? Welcome to the most haunted city in the nation! (If you wanna argue about it, that’s even more fun for us!) Walk by some of the most haunted locations in the quarter while being regaled with the tales of those who have gone before. Learn about the vampire community here in New Orleans, both past and present as you stroll by the site where our local Fangsmith crafts dental quality sharpened canines for anyone who dares to get fitted for them. Learn the truth behind the famed LaLaurie Mansion, from the 1800s to present day. Hear the stories of the most beloved (and most loathed) characters from New Orleans history. Get your creepy fix with the true stories of Crescent City hauntings.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Licensed tour guide/Louisiana Local will offer an introduction to the tour, as well as the first two ghost stories of the evening.
Learn about New Orleans Vampires, and how the newest seasons of "Interview with the Vampire" by Ann Rice address the reality of daily life for the Gen de Couleur Libre in the city.
Visit several sites in the iconic French Quarter, and be regaled by the stories of the ghosts and vampires who reside there to this day.
The LaLaurie Mansion We will end at one of the most difficult stories to share on the tour: that of the LaLaurie Mansion. We will share the truths we’ve found through academic research about what actually took place, experiences prior guests have had in close proximity to the mansion, and some of the more disturbing happenings that have taken place since the LaLaurie’s left in 1834, all the way up to present day. Trigger warnings will be offered before more traumatic content is shared.

Malika was absolutely amazing and educated! This tour was everything I thought it would be and left me feeling spooky hahah. It was well paced and I was left learning something new at every stop. My only complaint was that it didn’t go all night lol
Aww, thank you so much! We hope you come back again and try other tours with us!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS TOUR! Our guide was so knowledgeable and made the whole experience genuinely fun. The history behind the LaLaurie Mansion, the vampire community, the haunted stories of the French Quarter — all of it was fascinating and told in a way that kept us completely hooked. If you’re in New Orleans, do not skip this. THANK YOU for such a memorable night! 👻
You’re such a joy! Thank you for leaving such a warm review! Come back soon and take more tours with us, pretty please!
Malika was a wonderful guide, and the tour was historically informative, exciting, and fun--although the stories were rather gloomy. I think I understand the city more. I also enjoyed my fellow participants--very nice group of people. I did not feel uncomfortable at all although I participated by myself. I participated in other "Anansi's Daughters" tours, and they were both worthwhile.
Thank you so much for the warm review! I’m so glad you were comfortable. Yes, the history gets rough in places, but I appreciate you for being present and holding space for all of it!
Incredible and informative tour! Rhodesia was incredible, knowledgeable, and a beautiful light to guide us through some of the darker past that most have continued to white wash. Highly recommend!
She is indeed! Thank you for the warm review, and we hope you come back soon to take more tours with us!
This was not a ghost tour as advertised. This was a history lesson with almost no reference to ghosts. It was nothing like what I have experienced before. It was a complete waste of money
We hope you enjoyed your time in New Orleans nonetheless. Perhaps the haunted bar crawls are more up your alley, as opposed to in depth stories about the Spirits of the Free People of Color who still frequent the stops on our tour, the honoring of the Ancestors who were tortured and slaughtered, but who’s resilience forms the foundation of New Orleans culture, and the retelling of the history and legacy of Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, the Spirit of another free woman of Color who attracts guests from all around the world to the Crescent City to this day.
My husband and I have traveled to New Orleans at least once a year for the last ten years. We usually do a ghost tour with whoever we are traveling with. This was our first time booking this tour and we were very impressed. We learned new history and absolutely loved our tour guide Rhodesia. She was such a light and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour. When we go back, we plan to book this tour again.
We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour! Rhodesia is a total treasure, and I’m so glad you got to experience her magical storytelling. We look forward to your return! 🥰
I appreciated the stories of Black history in the city. I wanted more ghost stories tied to the location where we were. I think if this tour was named Black history after dark, I would think it would be more aligned. The tour title didn't quite fit a full on ghost tour to me and the people in my group. But I appreciated our guide and her care throughout the storytelling. Would still recommend, just know what it is and what it is not.
WOW-Rhodesia is informative and knowledgeable. I will recommend this tour to all my friends and family when they visit NOLA! Also, it is a black and women-owned business. Spend your money supporting them!
Thank you so much for the great review! Rhodesia is pure magick, and I’m glad you got to experience her gifts. We hope you come back soon and take another tour with us! 🥰
A great tour! Learned so much through the stories shared. Rhody was an amazing tour guide who is so knowledgeable and caring. Would absolutely recommend!
Thank you so much for the warm review! We hope you come back soon and take another tour with us! 🥰
A great tour experience, Rhody was extremely kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She is an amazing story teller who cares about the topics she covers. Some areas of the tour cover dark topics but Rhody handled them with respect and care. Would absolutely book again.
Thank you so much for the lovely review! Brody is definitely a treasure. We hope you come back soon and take another tour with us! 🥰
