Our guide, Christian, is a great storyeller! - Our tour guide, Christian, is a master storyteller. NOLA obviously has a colorful past but Christian's flair, sense of humor and vast knowledge of his hometown really made this tour excellent.

Who runs NOLA....GIRLS! - A great tour to learn about all of the "Bad Broads" of NOLA history. We loved hearing stories (some we knew already but learned some new facts) about these women and loved exploring the city while taking in the sights. Getting to see the LaLaurie Mansion and Marie Laveau's old house location were highlights. Our guide, Ana, was great as well.

Bad ass! - Elaine was amazing! Funny, knowledgeable, and presentation was spot on! I’ve been on many ghost tours, but Elaine’s was probably the best of them all.

Ghost Stories to Entertain - There is no house in the French Quarter without a spirit roaming the halls. The stories told along the route on this tour are the women who stood against the norm, whether criminal or vindictive. Stay at one of the hotels ar your own peril. One of these women may appear in your mirror, walk followed by a brass band, or even choke you in your bedroom.

Must Do in Nola! - My friends and I loved this tour. It gave a great historical overview of different areas of the French Quarter, and it was super walkable. Our tour guide Christian was AWESOME and an amazing storyteller. Highly recommend getting a tour with him.

The reason I gave it 4 stars is the group was too large and it was hard to hear the guide a lot. - I liked how informative our tour guide was. You could tell she knew what she was talking about. She was very animated as well!
