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.

Couldn’t have asked for anything better. We really enjoyed this tour and we did it in the drizzle! Even then, would definitely recommend. Boys (12&14) enjoyed as well! And that’s not always easy to do 😉 we leaned a lot!

My boyfriend (who is from NOLA) and I loved the tour. Jonathan was recommended by friends and it’s easy to see why. His tour was intriguing and offered many true-to-history depictions of what life was like. If you enjoy history, I would definitely recommend!! Thank you Jonathan! The next time we are back in town, we plan on signing up for another of your tours.
