Additional Information

Anticipate a mix of humor, eeriness and a hint of the macabre.

On a guided tour designed for a maximum of 12 tourists, we commence by getting to know one another at the tour’s start; gathering information about everyone’s origins, previous tour experiences, and individual interests. I will then tailor-makes a walking tour that accommodates everyone’s interest, whether it’s focused on ghost stories, grisly accounts, or historical trivia. Once we set off, we’ll stroll for approximately 1.25 miles (2km) along the paved walkways of the French Quarter. Rest assured, it won’t feel like a grueling hike. There will be ample pauses as I divulge the tales of the various houses, storefronts, art galleries and hidden alleyways we encounter. Occasionally, we might even venture to the banks of the vast Mississippi River. Throughout this journey, I will narrate myths of phantoms, mythical creatures, vampires, Voodoo, witchcraft, pirates, serial killers, and more. Subtly, I’ll intersperse some details about history and architecture – you won’t even notice the educational aspect! We will take a pit-stop at a local bar midway through the tour.

Super great tour and nice guide - Great sense of humor, worked in interesting and easy to digest information. Covered several topics from serial killers to voodoo zombies. He asked at the beginning what we were interested in and customized the tour for us which was super cool! Would definitely recommend

My favorite tour 3yrs running! - 25/10, would recommend. Local guide, everybody knows him. Committed to preserving the community in New Orleans and sharing the hx! LOVEEE!!! This guy is awesome!!! His tour used to be on airbnb, it was great then and even better now!! Brian is a local that lives in the quarter. He is a natural storyteller and it’s always a small group that highlights individual interests!if there is TEA he knows it!!! The wireless headsets that u can hear him talk as yall walk or even when ppl on the street r rowdy r a MUST!!! Deaf in one ear? Brian brought options for u! My now husband and I took this tour 3yrs ago when we got engaged on Jackson square!! We were back for my best friends bachelorette and I BEGGEDDDDD we do this tour!!!!! I’m so glad I convinced them they said it was WAYYYY better than any of the haunted tours they had been on b4!!!!!! My best friend said: “I’ve been on many tours in different cities and his was the absolute best I’ve ever been on!! “

Best tour in the Quarter - Best tour I’ve ever taken! Brian not only knows his stuff but he is hilarious! He tailors the tour to what the group is most interested in and sneaks in history of the city as well. I would definitely take this tour again!

A MUST DO TOUR!!!! - If you leave NOLA without taking this personalized tour, you are truly missing out!! Brian is an animated storyteller whose tour is truly unique. Brian takes you through all the haunted haunts in the French Quarter, gives interesting anecdotes, fun facts all while sprinkled with history in a way that you don't even realize how much you are learning!! He isn't scripted, allows for questions and kept us engaged the entire time...it's a must-do!!!!
