Fascinating ghost stories and a good time! - We had an amazing experience. We learned about the history, culture and the supernatural all at once through our experienced tour guide Orion. He is a fantastic storyteller and very knowledgeable about the historical aspects of the city. We really appreciated his style of storytelling and his candor.

10/10 - I’ve been on ghost tours in several different cities, and this one easily takes the top spot. Of course, being in New Orleans made it even better, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our tour guide, D.J. He is hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He’s knowledgeable, entertaining, and knows exactly how to keep everyone engaged from start to finish. He made the entire tour so much fun, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. If you’re booking this tour, do yourself a favor and ask for D.J. You won’t regret it. 10/10 recommend!

Entertaining look at New Orleans folklore - We took the nighttime Classic Ghose Tour. Orion is a gifted storyteller and has a great presence with a group. He knows how to build suspense and keep people engaged throughout the tour.
I found myself thinking about how much of the city's identity is shaped by folklore. Many of its best-known stories seem to start with a historical event before evolving into something much larger through years of retelling. Looking back, that felt like the lens through which this tour was presented.
I did find it curious that Orion chose not to stop in front of the LaLaurie Mansion because of the negative vibes he associated with it, instead pointing it out from down the block. A few days later, though, I saw him on Instagram standing directly in front of the mansion during another tour.
If you're looking for an entertaining evening built around the city's legends and ghost lore, this tour delivers. If you're hoping for a tour that stays closer to the documented history behind those stories, you may come away wishing the balance had leaned a little more in that direction.

Spooky tour in NOLA! - Orion was an awesome tour guide! He was very informative about the spooky spots and just a fun overall tour guide! The only thing is he spoke a little fast but other than that it was great! Would book a tour with him again.

Historical but not scary ghost tour - It is a massive amount of walking and listening to the tour guide. Interaction is very minimal. There is a break where you can get beverages and use the rest rooms, which was appreciated.

I expected much more. - I booked this tour because it indicated it would be in Spanish, but that was not the case. Additionally, I expected a more dynamic tour of haunted places. Most of the time was the guide talking, and at the only stop, we just sat while she continued telling stories. The experience did not meet my expectations.
