Explore the eerie, supernatural side of New Orleans on this spine-chilling walking tour through the French Quarter. Visit haunted mansions, hear vampire legends, and discover locations featured on American Horror Story and Ghost Adventures.
This is the signature French Quarter ghost and vampire tour. For two hours, you'll walk through the Quarter with a licensed guide who brings these streets to life. Content is rated PG-13: stories include violence, torture, murder, and suicide. Engaging for teens and adults, but parental discretion is advised for younger children.
You'll visit at least 6 haunted locations including the infamous LaLaurie Mansion, where your guide will share the true story of what rescuers found that night in 1834. You'll see historic buildings from street level and learn why New Orleans has more vampire legends than any other American city. There's a bar break midway through, usually at a haunted location, if you want to grab a drink.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning local, this tour reveals the dark history hiding in plain sight. Want the uncensored version with explicit details? Check out the Adults Only Ghost Tour.

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.

“The Ghosts and Vampires tour was one of my most memorable parts of my trip to NOLA. Katherine is the BEST tour guide I have ever had (and I am a researcher so I've been on my share of tours). Katherine's love for the city is infectious and you leave the tour spooked and appreciative for those who made NOLA what it is. *This is not a gimmicky tour* it is based off historical facts! History is always scarier than fiction.”
“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!”
“It was so much fun and so exciting to hear the history and stories that go along with the city and seeing the places firsthand. The guide was amazing, very knowledgeable, and able to entertain us with the stories. She even showed us pictures sent to her from other people who had taken the same tour. I would definitely go again multiple times. It is definitely worth it.”
