All The Gory Details

An Easy Walk:  The walking tours are less than a mile walking and under two hours in length with a break in the middle. It's an easy stroll at a leisurely pace, and you will stop a lot. 

Bring your cameras: Many guests report capturing orbs and other unexplained images in their photography. Show your tour guide. They may be able to tell you if you captured anything significant. 

Famous Haunted Locations May Vary: Our Ghost & Vampire Combo Tour and our Ghosts and Legends Tour both usually visit the infamous LaLaurie Mansion and many other famous haunted locations. You may visit places that were featured on American Horror Story: Coven, Ghost Adventures and Interview With a Vampire. Keep in mind that tour guides even within the same company often take different routes, tell different stories and do their own independent research. 

Licensed Tour Guides: Tour guides sometimes get a bad rap, but New Orleans has unusually high standards. City law mandates that every tour guide in New Orleans pass a rigorous history and safety exam administered by city officials before being granted a tour guide's license. You can rest assured you're in good hands when you're on one of our tours. 

Private Ghost Tours

Private Tours are available for groups small and large. Private tours are great for bachelor and bachelorette parties, corporate gatherings, church groups, conventions, fans coming in for sporting events, family reunions and more.

For walking tours, if your group is 28 people or fewer, we can fit you in one tour group. If you have more than 28 people, we can split you across multiple tour guides (city law limits the number of guests per tour guide).

Contact Group Sales at 504-226-5433 or reservations@gatorsandghosts.com for a quote. Private tours should be booked as far in advance as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions:

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 located on Basin St., and on the Corner of Conti and N. Rampart St.. Prices vary, depending on what is going on in the city that day. The walking tours are right in the middle of the French Quarter, so if you are already staying at a hotel here, we recommend you just walk 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 out a confirmation email with all the details, including where your tour starts.

Can we drink on the tour?

Sure. It’s New Orleans. You are legally allowed to drink on the streets as long as your drink is in a plastic container. Our tours generally start at a bar and stop at one halfway through. We also generally offer a drink special before the tour. Ask your tour guide about it before the tour starts. But please note, guests who are intoxicated and become disruptive may be asked to leave the tour with no refunds given. Please drink in moderation.

What happens if it rains?

Bring a poncho or an umbrella. The tours run rain or shine, though we may very occasionally cancel during dangerous weather.
