Dark History Tour In New Orleans

Overview

Ghosts, legends, and dark history – this is our most popular tour – a walk through the streets of the Old French Quarter, hearing the history of our city through the stories of its restless dead, it’s old legends, it’s great disasters, and unsolved murders. The stories are those that define our city and it’s people and most unsettling, it all really happened! The only tour in the city to focus on the Dark History of New Orleans--the things that made us what we are, but which the city council would just as soon not have you know! Led by pre-Katrina tour guides, and the only company in the city who features people who were licensed pre-Katrina and residents for decades.

First time booking a Jonathan Weiss Tour and it was amazing! (Even more impressive than the ones we’ve booked previously- and thoroughly enjoyed- from Haunted History!) Doug, our fearless guide, was fantastic! His enthusiasm and passion for the lesser told stories of the Frenchmen Street area made for a fun and entertaining experience!

Hurray! Thank you so much for coming to visit, and going on the Dead Frenchmen! We love putting together people who want to know with the guides who want to share the little known, and I hope you'll recommend us to others, and try more of our tours.

We did the dark history tour and loved it - it was informative, entertaining, and gave us a better appreciation of the history of New Orleans. Thank you for sharing your passion and insight into the city. Definitely a must when visiting.
