Ghosts of the Past: French Quarter Haunted Walk

No. The LaLaurie Mansion is a privately owned home. Our tours stop outside and your guide tells the story from the street.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely! Tipping 15-20% of your tour cost is standard and greatly appreciated — similar to what you'd tip at a restaurant. Our guides are passionate locals who rely on tips as a significant part of their income. A great guide can make your experience unforgettable. If they do, let them know!
