About this Experience
What you'll do:
PRIVATE Ghost Tour - Don't end up in a group of 30 where you can't hear the stories and someone you don't know is pressed up against you.
Step into the shadows of the French Quarter for an intimate New Orleans ghost tour filled with haunted history, vampire legends, scandalous secrets, and the spirits that still linger behind the city’s most iconic facades.
On this walking tour, you’ll hear the stories New Orleans is famous for: the ghosts of St. Louis Cathedral, pirate Jean Lafitte and the haunted legends of Pirates Alley, vampire brothers, the tragic spirits of local hotels, the mysterious Jacques St. Germain, the horrors of Madame LaLaurie’s (American Horror Story!) mansion, the vampire girls shipped here from France, the enduring magic of Marie Laveau, the pettiness of a brothel madame, and the ghost who still gets a table set for him every evening.
This tour blends documented history with local folklore, supernatural legend, and classic New Orleans storytelling. You’ll explore how fire, faith, Voudou, vice, pirates, vampires, tragedy, and restless spirits shaped the city’s most haunted neighborhood.
Come ready for a little history, a little horror, and a lot of New Orleans magic.
