Ghost Stories and True Crime Walking Tour of the French Quarter

Ghost Stories and True Crime Walking Tour of the French Quarter

Overview

We couldn't decide if we loved ghost stories or true crime stories more, so we decided to do them both!

You can almost feel the history (and the spirits) as you walk through this 300 year old neighborhood and former Native American gathering place on the Mississippi River.

THIS is the sacred ground where centuries of unforgettable, intense characters have lived, loved, fought, celebrated, made music, and taken their last breaths. Energy like that does not fade away; in fact, it intensifies when we tell their stories as we walk through their streets.
We will share with you the stories of hauntings, murders, rituals, restless spirits, mischievous ghosts, and some things we just can't explain. Even skeptics love this tour, because everyone loves a good story!

The tour is 1.5 - 2 hours and covers about a mile in the world-famous French Quarter. Come after dinner and end in time for a night out on the town!

What To Expect

French Quarter

There are over 80 square blocks in the old district, and on every one of them there are so many stories of passion, loss, betrayal, yearning, exhilaration, hope, and mourning. Your guide will introduce you to the ghosts, spirits, and criminals in New Orleans' endlessly interesting past.

Royal Street

Royal Street, with its quaint architecture, art galleries, and mysterious antique-filled shops, is the perfect place to travel back in time to the days when pirates, wanderers, scandalous ladies, and dark hearts wandered the streets of this old neighborhood. Your guide will tell you the stories whose unforgettable characters may still linger behind the shutters and in the alleys and courtyards.

Mississippi River

The river was the gateway to New Orleans, the place where the restless types - artists, writers, immigrants, traders, adventurers - entered the city and thought, "Ahhhh, finally a place where I fit in" The water holds their stories, and your guide can coax them out and reveal the magic soul of New Orleans.

Bourbon Street

Some of the spookiest stories and most notorious murders have taken place on world-famous Bourbon Street. Your guide will reveal the spirits and stories hidden among the revelers and characters!

Thank you! I agree that Scott is an amazing tour guide, nice guy, and great storyteller. He really knows a lot about New Orleans and never stops learning so he can tell the best stories to our guests. A good ghost tour can entertain, and also give participants an insight into our unique history. Come walk with us another time – day or night! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Libby

Libbey gave an awesome tour! She is so knowledgeable and I love her style of story telling. There was so many tours out that night and I think Libbey was the best by far, I was kinda listening to the others as we passed by. Love the story about the singing rain.

We had such a great time! Libby was such a good guide and gave us the perfect ‘scare’ while also having a good laugh and learning about some history of New Orleans. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Thank you! What a fun night that was! Your group was kind, interested, vivacious, and fun! I felt like I was one of your awesome friend group. The darker and weirder stories of New Orleans are endlessly fascinating, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share them with visitors. Please come see me for the next bachelorette party! Libby
