Ghost Tour FAQs
How long is the walk?▼
Our walking tours are about an hour and 45 minutes long. You generally cover about a mile of ground. It's an easy walk and you stop a lot to hear stories.
Where do we park for the tour?▼
There are paid parking lots on Basin St. and on the corner of Conti and N. Rampart St. Prices vary depending on what's happening in the city that day. If you're staying at a French Quarter hotel, we recommend walking to the tour site.
Where do the tours leave from?▼
We have a few different starting locations. After you've booked your tour, we send a confirmation email with all the details, including where your tour starts.
Can we drink on the tour?▼
Sure! It's New Orleans. You're legally allowed to drink on the streets as long as your drink is in a plastic container. Tours generally start at a bar and stop at one halfway through, often with drink specials. Just note: guests who become disruptive may be asked to leave with no refund. Please drink in moderation.
What happens if it rains?▼
Bring a poncho or umbrella! Tours run rain or shine—some say the ghosts are more active when it rains. We only cancel during dangerous weather (lightning, hurricanes), and you'll receive a full refund or reschedule option.
