Amazing experience!! Spooky and informative ! - This was such an incredible tour! There are many options out there but this one seemed like the best and it exceeded my expectations. Juliette was the highlight!!! She was an incredible and thoughtful guide. We were all so dialed in to the information she was sharing and showing us. She was so knowledgeable and very personable with a great sense of humor. I booked this for a group of 10 girls on a bachelorette trip and they all agreed it was so much fun!! We walked away knowing much more about the history of the area and chatting about what we learned over dinner. I’d recommend the 4 o’clock tour because you get to go inside a couple places that would be closed on the 7 o clock tour!

Great tour with knowledgeable guide - Great tour with lots of history and interesting facts woven in. Tour ended with an inside look at some witchcraft. Tour guide was great informative and actually has a hand in the word he is showing you around. I think this is the right choice of tour, other tours did not seem authentic from the outside looking in.

The best in NOLA. - Great shop with friendly and erudite service. The tour was very insightful with a range of events from pre-colonization to modern occurrences. David kept the group enthralled with his ability to recount history and weave tales and anecdotes into the mix giving participants a walk through time as the raconteur spoke.

Very informative and spooky tour of the French Quarter. - My partner and I had such an amazing time on this tour. Our tour guide was David, and he was super informative, very friendly, and very entertaining. He was extremely knowledgeable in all the sites he showed us and to be quite honest I was frightened a few times by some of his tales of the French Quarter. If you are looking for a super informative tour and at the same time, get a little bit of fright, this is the right thing to do. David was super respectful in asking us what our religious viewpoints were and in essence how far “far” we willing wanting to go in regards to being frightened. We wanted the whole truthful story of the tour and he delivered. It was such an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky enough to get David, he is awesome.

Fun experience! - David was great. Personally, not scary but lots of crazy stories and chilling info about the history of the city. Definitely recommend. The kids enjoyed it too, wasn’t too much for them but my kids love that kind of stuff.

Very fun trip around French Quarter - Guide was very knowledgeable and made the history make sense. Much better than other guides I have had. If you are against the practice of witchcraft to an extent that you don’t want to observe it actively, this is not the tour for you. However, the guide is kind enough to offer anyone who wishes not to partake to refrain.

Boring history lesson with arrogant guide - David seemed to enjoy hearing himself talk. Seemed more historical than anything scarey. Honestly could have stood in one place and heard his stories which he seemed knowledgeable about. Had 2 members of our group who were doing a reading in Hex and was told there was time b4 the tour, however, David made comment they can catch up. Also didn't care about keeping the group together at one point a couple not with our group along with the best walkers in our group were almost a block behind trying to keep up. Wouldn't do this tour again. Swamp tour offered more scary and fun than this. He never once checked to see if group was together with him, and when 2 of our group had to get a cab and leave group he made derogatory comment of "ok let's wave goodbye to to Grandma". Little did he know the 2 were both suffering with cancer and did their best to keep up with him.

Didn’t happen - After waiting for 30 minutes the lady working in the shop tried to call for answers. But no one showed up and we didn’t get to go on the tour They gave back my money and offered me to take the 7pm tour but my knee and leg wouldn’t let me continue standing and they wouldn’t let us sit to wait
