We had a great time, Dominic was very knowledgeable in everything New Orleans as he’s loved there his whole life/ is a historian. I’ve been on ghost tours before and still learned things I’ve never known before. Overall great experience.

Stella was awesome! She was patient, funny and authentic. Made the night fun. The tour itself could use a bit more history and haunting.

I was hoping this was going to be the leaking provider but it’s actually the biggest least impressive provider. There are dozens of toys going on so you get a chance to see many. Our group had 28 people and the leader was pretty unprofessional/ not captivating.
