Highlights
- French Quarter - There are over 80 square blocks in the old district, and on every one of them there are so many stories of passion, loss, betrayal, yearning, exhilaration, hope, and mourning. Your guide will introduce you to the ghosts, spirits, and criminals in New Orleans’ endlessly interesting past.
- Royal Street - Royal Street, with its quaint architecture, art galleries, and mysterious antique-filled shops, is the perfect place to travel back in time to the days when pirates, wanderers, scandalous ladies, and dark hearts wandered the streets of this old neighborhood. Your guide will tell you the stories whose unforgettable characters may still linger behind the shutters and in the alleys and courtyards.
- Mississippi River - The river was the gateway to New Orleans, the place where the restless types - artists, writers, immigrants, traders, adventurers - entered the city and thought, “Ahhhh, finally a place where I fit in” The water holds their stories, and your guide can coax them out and reveal the magic soul of New Orleans.
- Bourbon Street - Some of the spookiest stories and most notorious murders have taken place on world-famous Bourbon Street. Your guide will reveal the spirits and stories hidden among the revelers and characters!

Additional Information
We couldn’t decide if we loved ghost stories or true crime stories more, so we decided to do them both!
You can almost feel the history (and the spirits) as you walk through this 300 year old neighborhood and former Native American gathering place on the Mississippi River.
THIS is the sacred ground where centuries of unforgettable, intense characters have lived, loved, fought, celebrated, made music, and taken their last breaths. Energy like that does not fade away; in fact, it intensifies when we tell their stories as we walk through their streets.
We will share with you the stories of hauntings, murders, rituals, restless spirits, mischievous ghosts, and some things we just can’t explain. Even skeptics love this tour, because everyone loves a good story!
The tour is 1.5 - 2 hours and covers about a mile in the world-famous French Quarter. Come after dinner and end in time for a night out on the town!

Best way to spend our first night. - Scott took us on a fun and informative tour of so much NOLA history! The stories through the centuries are incredible and to actually see where they happened took us right there with all the voodoo, spirits and ghosts. Recommend this tour with Scott 💯!

NOLA'S Best Haunted Tour of the French Quarter! - Scott is an excellent guide who provided my girlfriend and I, a killer tour (pun intended) of the French Quarter! We were guided to various historic landmarks in the neighborhood and told true stories of murder, mystery and hauntings.
l can't lie, athough consider myself somewhat of a skeptic, I definitely felt the energy and spiritual presence that encompasses the city of New Orleans. I would highly recommend this tour!
Thanks again, Scott!
