What Guests Are Saying
“Chris was amazing! Very professional and super funny! My cousin Becky Jo and I had a blast! Can't wait to go back and investigate with him again!”
“Very much enjoyed Lenny's stories. He was very engaging and interesting.”
“My family and I booked through Gators and Ghosts for a paranormal investigation tour. It was a walking tour and was unsettlingly eventful. I'd definitely recommend booking a tour with this company and plan to use them again when I come back.”
About This Tour
This isn't a walking tour. It's a hands-on paranormal investigation at two of the French Quarter's most haunted locations. You'll use real ghost-hunting equipment: K2 meters, REM Pods, SLS cameras, and more. Groups are capped at 12 to ensure everyone gets time with the gear. Your guide teaches the same techniques you've seen on professional ghost hunting shows.
When your K2 meter spikes in an empty room, your guide explains the history of the spirit you may have just contacted. Many investigators have captured figures on the SLS camera that weren't visible to the naked eye. You'll document everything and keep whatever evidence you find. Will you make contact? That's the question.
Perfect for skeptics who want to test their beliefs and believers who want to experience the real thing. If you want to actually investigate the paranormal rather than just hear about it, this is your tour.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Where do the tours leave from?+
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.
Can we drink on the tour?+
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.
What happens if it rains?+
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.
Should we tip our tour guides?+
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!
