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.

Lots of information about New Orleans history and how it shaped the city it has been and is today. Jonathan is very passionate about his city :)

We went on this tour 2 years ago and returned again with friends this year. Jonathon does an amazing job! He made the history come alive! We love the pace, the facts, and his enthusiasm. His passion for history and New Orleans comes through with each stop we made.

Our tour with Jonathan was incredible! We learned so much about the history of the area that we would never have otherwise known. The tour was entertaining as well as informative, and included time for a break and bar visit in a historic location we may not have found on our own. Jonathon recommended some excellent restaurants and further adventures as well, from the perspective of a true local. We are here for a few more days and are planning to book more tours with this company! If we return to NOLA we will book again!
