What Guests Are Saying

About This Tour
Most ghost tours stick to the French Quarter. This one leaves it behind. The Eerie Nights shuttle tour takes you to the historic cemeteries at the edge of the city, the ones tourists rarely see and locals whisper about. You'll board a climate-controlled shuttle in the French Quarter and ride out to where the real hauntings are.
Once you arrive, you're on foot. Your guide leads you through two or three above-ground cemeteries, flashlight sweeping across weathered stone as they share the stories of who's buried there and why some of them haven't stayed buried. You'll learn why New Orleans buries its dead above ground and what happens when the tombs are opened. Midway through, you'll stop at a local beignet spot for a break (and a drink if you want one).
If you want to experience New Orleans beyond the tourist trail, this is your tour. The 7 PM tour is family-friendly. The 9:30 PM tour goes darker. Either way, you'll see a side of the city most visitors miss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we get off the shuttle during the tour?+
Yes. While you'll travel to the cemeteries in a climate-controlled shuttle, much of the tour is on foot. Once you arrive at the cemeteries, your guide leads you through on a walking tour. There's also a stop at a local beignet spot midway through.
Which cemeteries do you visit?+
You'll visit two or three historic above-ground cemeteries located near the lakeside end of Canal Street. The specific cemeteries may vary by night, but all are historic New Orleans burial grounds with fascinating stories and atmospheric settings.
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 covers more mature content and is recommended for guests 13 and older. Same locations, but the later tour goes darker with the stories.
Is this tour appropriate for children?+
The 7 PM tour is designed to be family-friendly, though not recommended for children 4 and under. The 9:30 PM tour has 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.
Does the ghost tour go inside the LaLaurie Mansion?+
No. The LaLaurie Mansion is a privately owned home. Our tours stop outside and your guide tells the story from the street.
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.
