Book Your Vampire TourFrequently Asked Questions
Is there really a vampire history in New Orleans?▼
Yes. New Orleans has documented vampire legends going back to the 1700s. The Casket Girls, the Carter Brothers on Royal Street, Jacques St. Germain -- these are real historical accounts, not fiction. The city's French and Creole culture created a unique environment where these stories took root.
What's the difference between a vampire tour and a ghost tour?▼
There's overlap -- both walk through the French Quarter at night. Vampire tours focus specifically on vampire legends, blood rituals, and the undead history. Ghost tours cover a wider range: murders, hauntings, voodoo, and yes, some vampires too.
Are vampire tours scary?▼
They're more fascinating than scary. The guides focus on real history and documented accounts. If you want something more intense, check out our adults-only tour or paranormal ghost hunt.
