Dive into the spooky past of New Orleans on this theatrical walking tour focused on historical hauntings. Skip the vampire stories and discover the authentic ghost legends that have made this city infamous.
This is the ghost tour of the French Quarter. Real ghost stories of New Orleans told with theatrical flair by a licensed storyteller who knows how to bring these tales to life. Groups go up to 28 and all ages are welcome with parental discretion.
As you walk through the Quarter, your guide paints vivid pictures of the disasters and tragedies that created these hauntings. Standing where fire once consumed an entire building, you can almost hear the echoes of what happened there. Many guests on this tour have captured unexplained images on their phones. Bring your camera and see what you find.
If you love a good ghost story told well, this is your tour. The guides on this route are known for theatrical, immersive storytelling that pulls you into the history. Book early because nightly spots are limited.

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!
Tours run rain or shine. If you show up in the rain, your guide will be there. We only cancel if conditions become dangerous, and in that case you'll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule.
Tours are non-refundable unless cancelled by the company or tour operators (typically due to dangerous weather like lightning or hurricanes). If you need to reschedule, contact us and we'll work with you to apply your payment to a different date or tour, subject to availability. We understand plans change — just give us as much notice as possible.
We close online booking several hours before each tour's departure time, and for some of our most popular tours, the cutoff can be even earlier. So if you're not seeing availability, it might mean the tour is full — but it might also just mean online booking has closed for the day.
Either way, chat with us. We can check directly with the tour operator and see if there's room. We've squeezed people in plenty of times, and it never hurts to ask.

“My 15 year old and I did this tour at night. It was really fun - not scary at all. A little spooky because it was Halloween weekend. Our tour guide Ariadne B. was amazing. She has a gift for story telling. Go at night and request her. You won't be disappointed!! Fun to do if you have older kids (I would say like 10 & up).”
“Customer service was astounding. We had to make so many changes to our reservation that I was embarrassed. G & G was timely and professional throughout. 100% recommended!”
“I worked with Lenny to book tours for my company while we were in town for a conference. Lenny was amazing and accommodating. He helped me pick the right tours and even arranged transportation to the swamp!”
