About This Tour

Most New Orleans ghost tours stay on foot in the French Quarter. This one puts you on a climate-controlled shuttle and heads out of the Quarter for a visit to one of the city's above-ground cemeteries after dark, a side of New Orleans most visitors never see. The ride out of the French Quarter and back is included.

Your guide shares stories along the way. The highlight is stepping inside a New Orleans cemetery after dark and walking between rows of above-ground tombs while your guide tells the stories of who's buried there, and why this city buries its dead above ground at all. Stops and routes vary by night, and there's usually a short break along the way.

Expect ghost stories and plenty of real history rather than jump scares. The 7 PM departure is the family-friendly one. If you want to see New Orleans beyond the tourist trail, with a cemetery at night and an easy ride both ways, this is your tour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we get off the shuttle during the tour?+

Yes. The shuttle does the driving, and you get off to walk through a cemetery. There's usually a short break along the way as well.

How long is the walk?+

Not far. The shuttle does the driving, and the walking is at the cemetery itself, on uneven ground (grass and gravel).

Which cemeteries do you visit?+

The tour includes a night visit inside one of New Orleans' historic above-ground cemeteries, and you'll pass others along the way. Exact stops vary by night and by guide.

What's the difference between the 7 PM and 9:30 PM tour?+

The 7 PM tour is family-friendly and not recommended for children 4 and under. The 9:30 PM tour may include more mature content and is recommended for guests 13 and older.

Is this tour appropriate for children?+

The 7 PM tour is family-friendly, though not recommended for children 4 and under. The 9:30 PM tour may include more mature content and is recommended for guests 13 and older. Use your judgment based on your child's comfort with spooky stories.

What happens if it rains?+

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.

We booked separately from our friends. Will we be on the same tour?+

Only if you tell us. Multiple starting points, shuttles and operators mean separate bookings can end up in different groups and locations. Send us everyone's names when you book and we'll do our best to place you together. We can't guarantee it, so if you can, put the whole party on one booking.

Does the ghost tour go inside the LaLaurie Mansion?+

No. The LaLaurie Mansion is a privately owned home, so no tour goes inside. This tour heads out of the French Quarter for a cemetery visit instead.
