What To Expect

French Quarter

When it rains in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the locals swear that a beautiful voice floats out of the mist. After you hear the story of ‘Bloody’ O'Reilly vs. Pere Dagobert – an 18th-century priest of St Louis Cathedral – you just might hear the singing rain too! Start your ghost tour at Jackson Brewery, where you’ll meet your entertaining guide and set off to various haunted sites. There's no guarantee you will spot a ghost, but you'll see where you're most likely to meet one!

The tour guide was great. The QR codes given for the interactive aspect of the tour don't work with Android and don't work well with IOS. Even without the "interactive" aspect, the tour was still a great time. The guide really gave "flavor" to the spooky history of NOLA.

Delighted with your review. The creator of the Interactive aspect has been working on an application that functions better with Android. We are delighted that the guide added so much to the atmosphere.

Very educational and interesting ghost tour of the French Quarter. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and an excellent storyteller. The augmented reality feature was interesting but had some hiccups. I do appreciate having it to add to the experience. It was definitely worth the price!

Not scary. Boring. They bill this as interactive but it’s 2010 technology interactive. If you download their app then there is a third grade drawn figure that ends up in your photo. Left half way through. Btw we were there on Halloween so everywhere was decorated and lots of costumes and still lame.

We regret that is was not scary as you may have anticipated. We offer eerie tales and dark secrets of a 300-year-old European neighborhood that has been ravaged by fires, epidemics, hurricanes, floods, wars, slavery and conflict. Our guides tell the real history of colorful characters who lived, died and have chosen to remain in the French Quarter. We do not bill it as a tour to frighten you.
