From pirates to voodoo priestesses, this French Quarter tour will give you a new perspective of New Orleans and its fascinating – and sometimes sinister–history.

You’ll set out from Jackson Square with your tour guide into one of the oldest neighborhoods of New Orleans. Here in the Vieux Carre, you’ll hear how this Mississippi port became home to characters of all types, including criminals.

We’ll walk down Pirate’s Alley and hear legends behind its name as well as that of the Cabildo, formerly a prison site. We’ll pass by a mansion with a chilling past and one that highlights our nation’s complicated history of slavery. And no haunted tour dealing with the macabre and occult can omit the stories of voodoo and its so-called queen now interred in one of New Orleans’ famed above-ground cemeteries.

While our ghost tour tales may haunt you, you’ll also get a deeper look into the city’s heritage leading up to the American Civil War and see some top New Orleans attractions along the way!
