- Cabildo - The very place where the Louisiana Purchase was signed is also a hot spot for spirits

- Muriel’s Jackson Square - A hanging happened first and then the hanging around followed. This main ghost is treated like royalty by the restaurant he inhabits. He’s not the only spirit either.
- French Quarter - Our haunted city started right here. The dead are under our feet and in our streets. One of the most haunted cities in America.

DEANNA Is the BEST! - DeAnna is simply the best tour guide in NOLA! This was my second tour with her and I just can’t recommend her enough. She is a multigenerational local family with lots of knowledge about New Orleans and all its rich history. Her tours are interesting and fun without being too over dramatic. BOOK IT!

A Hauntingly Good Time – Again! - We had such an amazing experience on this ghost tour last year that we had to rebook with DeAnna again this year—and we've already decided to make it an annual tradition!
DeAnna is an incredible guide. She's engaging, knowledgeable, and has a true talent for storytelling that brings the haunted history of the New Orleans French Quarter to life. Her mix of chilling tales, local lore, and historical insight creates the perfect balance of spooky and fun.
She’s passionate about what she does, and it really makes the tour special. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, you'll walk away entertained, informed, and know a little more about this interesting city!
Thank you, DeAnna. We can’t wait to join you again next year!

From a local to you…just do it! - This wasn’t your typical scripted ghost tour. DeAnna made it personal, interactive, and fun. She has a gift for storytelling that made the streets of the Quarter come alive in the most magical way.
If you want an experience that’s equal parts eerie, entertaining, and unforgettable, DeAnna is the one to book. We laughed, we gasped, and we left with stories we’ll be talking about for a long time.
Five stars all the way ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing Storytelling and Historical Knowledge - I’ve done several tours in New Orleans and other cities and this was by far the best.

Cant miss tour! - This ghost tour was awesome!! DeAnna was a phenomenal guide because she was so knowledgeable and also friendly. I felt a deep connection with the ghost stories she told and her personal stories. Anyone that gets her as a guide is very lucky. I would do this tour again if I come back to NOLA.

A Hauntingly Unforgettable Experience with DeAnne – A True Daughter of New Orleans! - If you’re visiting New Orleans and want a ghost tour that goes beyond theatrics and dives into the real haunted history of the city, look no further than the Ghosts of the French Quarter Walking Tour with DeAnne. As a true founding daughter of New Orleans, DeAnne brings a depth of knowledge and authenticity that’s unmatched. Her connection to the city isn’t just professional—it’s personal, woven into her family history and lived experience.
What sets DeAnne’s tour apart is its strong foundation in fact. Every story she shares is carefully researched and rooted in documented history, which makes the chilling tales even more compelling. No gimmicks, no exaggerated folklore—just real stories about real people, places, and events that have left their mark on the French Quarter.
DeAnne is an exceptional storyteller. She brings each location to life with vivid detail and a delivery that’s equal parts gripping, informative, and atmospheric. Her passion for New Orleans history and her respect for its past are evident in every word, and she manages to make the experience both spine-tingling and enlightening.
If you’re looking for a ghost tour that’s as intelligent as it is eerie—led by someone who knows New Orleans from the inside out—this is the one. And if you’re lucky enough to have DeAnne as your guide, prepare for an unforgettable night of haunted history with one of the city’s own.
