Boos and Crews - Cassandra was great! We enjoyed all the bars we stopped at and she gave us 10/10 drink recommendations! We also loved the stories and the pace of the tour! In addition, she provided great information for the rest of our trip in NOLA!

Best tour ever! - Cassandra was awesome! And so was the tour guide that I had before a year prior! Both actually went to a few different spots and had a few different stories so I’m glad I did it again because my friend was in NOLA as well and wanted to go there! We also started at a different spot than the year prior, because it was a Monday night. We started at St Pat’s coffeehouse I believe…. Very cute in there! Nice courtyard. Has won best coffeehouse in US one year. Still have not been inside MayBelle‘s, which is a scary story spot, so I will have to go back to New Orleans again! I really loved Cassandras story about the sultan house, Bourbon Orleans Hotel, and Pierre at Muriel Jackson’s Square, which was all new to me. And I had forgotten about the story about the Lenny Kravitz house and the other house with that glowing angel in front of it. So I’m glad I got to go again! Last time we went to some Rampart treehouse bar, Lafittes, which was cool, and Harry’s Corner (which we also got to go to Harry’s corner this time, but this time I had the Ghostbuster drink, which was so good! )and this time we got to go to a couple of new bars which I thoroughly enjoyed. The last bar was great it was just actually inside the Lafittes Hotel and bar! Purple drank!!!!

Great tour with Booze & Boos - Brian was a great tour guide. Loved his stories! Thank you stopped at 3 bars and picked up drinks. Felt safe in the French quarter. Sad that I didn’t see any ghosts or spirits. Did leave a hair tie as suggested at one site for the request of clearing a soar throat and the next day it was cleared and the anxiety associated with it was gone. Just saying.

A Chilling and Delicious Experience! - Cassandra was an excellent tour guide. It was such a chill (literally at times) experience! We saw so many historic homes, hotels and buildings. She was super knowledgeable and full of information. She is passionate about the subject and knows all the good drinks!! Definitely don't sleep on this tour!

Awesome Boozy Boos-y Tour! - Cassandra was such a phenomenal tour guide! She really knew the history and would differentiate between things that were historically verified or not. The bars we visited were unique and had good drinks and we got some good recommendations for things to do in the city. We even saw a ghost in the ghostbuster drink at Harry’s Corner! We had the best time, favorite walking tour I’ve ever done!

Best Ghost Tour in New Orleans!!! - I’ve visited New Orleans several times and have gone on many of the ghost tours available, and this tour is by far the best one! Cassandra was our guide and she was seriously amazing! I thought that I might find the tour repetitive after so many previous tours, but Cassandra took us to multiple places I’d never seen or heard of before and knew an incredible amount about each location. She very clearly adores the city and wants to share that with others. We had a very small group, just the four of us traveling together, and it was perfect. We got to ask so many questions and Cassandra had all the answers and then some. She even told us about all her personal stays at the haunted locations in town, which she does for research. Her story about her stay at the Andrew Jackson Hotel was truly chilling. But my personal favorite story was about the vampire Jacques St. Germain. She also took us to several bars that we wouldn’t have otherwise found, so if you like a strong drink (or multiple) you’ll be very happy. This tour had something for everyone, whether you want ghost stories or vampire stories or even just a huge dose of history. I can’t recommend this tour enough!!!

100% Recommend This Tour! - Amazing and incredibly fun experience. Cassandra is extremely knowledgeable and provided insightful information and was really cool to hear her personal accounts of checking out and staying at the actual haunted places herself such as the Jackson Hotel! Definitely will check it out again and highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the haunted history of New Orleans, super fascinating and enjoyable!!
