Best well balanced tour ever!!! - Jody was amazing. We felt so comfortable the entire walk and we had enough stops to really enjoy everything!! New Orleans is just so full of history, culture, voodoo religion and spooky stuff.
Cannot stress enough of how much we loved Jody!! We came for a little bachelorette and left with so much knowledge and fun!!

Great tour, even in the rain! - Our group went on a ghost tour on Saturday night in the middle of a biblical rainfall. Our tour guide was Robby Rob and he was fabulous. He led us through the streets of New Orleans and showed us plenty of haunted hotels, homes and restaurants, while telling interesting stories all along the way. He kept our attention and had a great sense of humor, especially with the less than ideal weather we were having. I would highly recommend this tour. If the forecast shows rain, just plan to go walking in the rain with plenty of rain gear. It was quite the adventure!

Awesome job, Robby Rob! - Robby Rob was awesome! We went on a rainy night that turned into a 7 inch rain deluge!
He was great and carried on! Got us to dry overhangs so we could hear his stories!
He was fun and personable- got to know our group well!
I’d recommend to all our friends!!
I might have captured one ghost in one of my pics!!!

Interesting but superficial - We’ve heard 5 stories of very diverse backgrounds. A more recent suicide-murder, the casket women, the Laurie Hause, the pirate, and a wealthy person who gambled his mansion away. I guess in a place that is relatively “new” it’s hard to find enough material. What was available could have been nicely woven in the larger context of the city, how the city was build, the attempts to attract more women, more about voodoo and the unique cultural blending. Bottom line more history instead of the legends with references to movies and movie stars instead of historical context

Disappointing 21+ tour - This tour was really disappointing. There weren’t nearly as many stories as I expected. Contrarily to the itinerary, we did not hear about the Pharmacy Museum nor Lafitte’s Blacksmith Bar. We booked the 21+ tour in hopes of a good spook, but most of the stories weren’t frightening at all- our guide mostly spoke of her personal beliefs rather than real accounts. We left the tour disappointed that we hadn’t picked another company, and sad that we couldn’t truly get a feel for NOLA’s spooky after dark history.

Horrible experience - Nothing about that tour gave voodoo vibes vampires vibes or ghost vibes the stories was nothing about the actual title the back history was good to know but defly nothing I was expecting…..a total waste of time we had more fun looking up The Originals filming location than this tour😩😩🤔😒 and I’m heavy into the voodoo, ghost, vampire scene I came to New Orleans for this very reasons!

Save your money! - You literally didn’t do anything exclusive, all they do is tell stories & walk you around the square & the streets, literally something you can do yourself & just look up the stories on google, definitely not worth the $75 AT ALL. 30min in we stopped at a bar that only takes cash to get a drink, literally have the group left at the bar stop including me because it was just so boring. Do not recommend.
