Highly recommended - Robert was a great guide, funny and informative. He was super helpful and made sure everyone had a good time. I didn't think the virtual reality thing added much to be honest, but it didn't cost too much time.

9.26.23 - Robi was amazing. I’ve never had so much fun learning about history and such rich culture and fun stories to hear all at the same time. 10/10 recommend.

Ghost and spirit tour - Robi was our guide, he was friendly, charismatic, and informative. I enjoyed the history and the theatrics in which he told the tales of New Orleans.

Hoping the ghost of Mary Ellen doesn’t follow us home - Robi was an excellent storyteller! He even kept my teenage son engaged the entire time. The augmented reality was a unique addition.

Not much of a tour, but we got a show - From the start, it was clear that our guide was intoxicated. She couldn’t read our names on her phone so she had us find our names to check ourselves in. She was slurring and repeating the same things (over and over and over), which weren’t even relevant to the tour. Literally hitting cars she thought were in our way and calling drivers a-holes. Half yelling and half slurring stories that she couldn’t seem to stay on script with. We didn’t see anything interesting or get any real history of the locations we stuck around for. The AR was like a cheesy version of Pokemon go, not worth advertising or spending as much time as we did getting it setup for everyone on our tour. By the halfway point, half of our group had left but the guide didn’t seem to notice. We gave it awhile to see if it would get better, but we dipped out early too.

Quite difficult to understand the guide! - The guide guy speak a very very very fast English that just Americans could understand. If you are not an American person, don’t take it!

Needs work - Very disappointed in this tour. Our tour guide Kim seemed drunk; consequently several people left the tour before it was over. The AR portion of the tour is unnecessary and gimmicky. I’ve been on ghost tours around the world and this one needs a lot of work - very disappointing for a city with so many ghost stories.

Terrible tour, don't bother! - This was a terrible tour, partly because of the guide and partly the content. We simply walked from place to place and stood there on the sidewalk while the tour guide talked at us. We did not go into any interesting places and the augmented reality feature was complex, confusing and not particularly interesting either. Our guide had an irritating voice and wore fake vampire teeth that made her talk strangely. It was also so loud we couldn't hear most of what she said. Finally, she did not take us back to where we started but left us in the French Quarter on a crazy Mardi Gras night.
