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!

Great experience and tour guide! I Highly recommend tourists take this tour at the beginning of their trip to get acquainted with the French Quarter and the city in general (our tour guide had coupons and tons of information also)

We obviously did not expect seeing ghosts. Honestly I did not know what to expect. However, it turned into amazing history lessons filled with stories and legends. I see a lot of bad reviews and how people dropped out inthe middle or how swamp is better. First of all it cannot be compared to swamp as it's two completely different experiences. This tour is one of those where a lot depends on tour guide. Ours (believe her name was Val) was absolutely amazing. Despite scorching heat we truly enjoyed the legends and story telling while learning a lot of history of French quarter. I enjoyed it more than cemetery course which was just too mystic and overexagurated for my taste. My wife and our teenaged kids loved it.

Thank you for disregarding a few reviews from those who preferred swamps over history and lore of the city. Everyone has preferences and for those that were part of a 'group", the choice may have been made for them rather than their preference.

This was my granddaughter's pick. She likes scary stories, and this walking tour was full of some great stories! I wish they sold a book to take home to retell all these stories because they would be great to tell around a campfire. Our tour guide, Kim, was funny, knowledgeable, and patient. She answered all of my granddaughter's questions.
