New Orleans ghosts, vampires and voodoo experience

Absolutely wonder tour learning about history of New Orleans vampires, Voodoo, and ghosts not told in history books. Our nun dressed tour guide is a welath of knowledge obout the city and its sites in the French Quarter.

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!

Too many people in tour groups

The tour was interesting but the group was way too big. We could not hear our guide. They should provide quiet voxes if they continue to have massive numbers of people in the tour groups

Knows her history

I appreciated Dani's factual presentation. I wouldn't have stuck around with a guide who went on on and on.

A Ghost Tour Worth Your Time And Money

Overall our experience was amazing. We booked the VIP small group tour and there was only a group of 8 people which allowed us to customize our experience and allowed us an interactive experience with our tour guide Scott. I would highly recommend this tour and if possible book the 8pm time slots. The weather was cooler during our tour and there is something magical about the city at night. I would also try to ensure Scott is your tour guide. He was knowledgeable, interactive and willing to customize your experience depending on your likes and dislikes. I would highly recommend this experience for families or adults who are looking to experience the darker side of New Orleans. Thanks again Scott you were amazing.

Dull tour

The tour was very drawn out and included more historical information than it did information about anything paranormal. We ended up leaving about an hour in, after hearing only 2 ghost-related anecdotes. We were very disappointed.
