Highly recommend - Great experience! It’s one of my bucket list items in NOLA. It went into the history of New Orleans and the reasons on why these locations are haunted. Our tour guide was great. At one point another tour guide was rude and made a comment about being too close to her and he handled it respectfully. Highly recommend!!!

Fun night out, good family tour - Good experience , informative guide. Only issue was the meeting location written in Expedia was wrong and missed out on some of the beginning part of the tour. Otherwise it was an enjoyable and interesting experience

There are better options! - Carlo was knowledgeable, but the tour was more history than haunts. We've been on several ghosts tours and this one was at the bottom of our do again list. The rain didn't bother us too much, but we became disinterested in some of the long history lessons before the "ghost" portion. A couple of spots were good and focused on the haunting portion, but the overall experience was disappointing.

Not worth it - It wasn’t very informative. The tour was based on the tour guide’s personal opinions. It was very hard for me to follow along with what the guide was saying because the information wasn’t given well. It wasn’t entertaining and everyone in my group of 4 were ready to leave. I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone else.

Total Sham - We showed up, they checked us in...then NOTHING. They left us waiting outside with no one around except another couple who were just as confused. As we were walking away, they called to say it was cancelled due to no guide avail. Terrible experience.... very unprofessional - there are a ton of other tours like this...don't book with them.
