A great tour for mystical history - We were able to be in a very small group (just myself and my 2 other family members) and I definitely prefer that to the larger groups. We were able to stroll along with our guide and talk about all things about the tour and other NOLA spooky and mystical things. She was very knowledgeable and personable and accommodating (we aren’t used to the heat of the south anymore and she was able to get us into the a/c more often).

Wonderful and Fascinating Tour - A marvelous way to spend 2 hours in New Orleans. Our tour guide J was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, funny, and authentic. Also, she knew how to handle and engage with the people in our small group. She had funny anecdotes about the history of the city, made sure to stop and allow us to take as many pictures as we wanted, and made sure we didn't die!

Good Tour and a Fun Time - J was a fantastic tour guide! She met us just outside of Hex, and led our small group of 5 (three of us and a mom with her daughter) around the area for a tour full of hauntings, history, and the unexplainable. We truly enjoyed our experience! My only thought is for the ending spell. I guess as a solitary witch I was expecting a bit more, but it was an okay ending. I would’ve also liked to spend more time at the official church of witchcraft and Voodoo Authenticator than the bar stop - although that slushy was refreshing for the hot NOLA sun on the 4 PM tour.

Waste of money - The story at Muriel's wasn't factual when I researched it and neither was the Delphine Lalaurie story. I found the closing ritual hokey. This tour seems thrown together, overly dramatic and not historically based. Waste of money. I took tours from 2 other companies that were much better. Disappointing.
