Kids absolutely light up on these tours, with guides like Jill, Leann, Danielle, Tammy, and Richard earning enthusiastic praise for keeping children genuinely engaged while teaching New Orleans history. Parents consistently note how impressive it is watching their kids hang on every word during multi-hour tours, then excitedly retell ghost stories and historical facts days later. The ghost hunting gadgets are a major hit, making history feel like an adventure rather than a lesson. Ages 4 through 12 seem equally captivated, and several families mentioned their kids ranked this experience above other major activities like swamp tours. The guides bring real depth to these tours, weaving in their own family heritage and local traditions alongside historical facts. They're skilled at pitching stories appropriately, keeping things spooky enough to thrill without genuinely scaring younger children, and patiently fielding the endless stream of kid questions. Adults find themselves learning plenty too, often following along with a more detailed version of the tour. The team also handles unexpected situations with flexibility and professionalism, working with families when circumstances change.
Great tour. The host was amazing and very impressive. Well educated and extremely knowledgeable on New Orleans history. Extremely kind and pleasant towards kids and answers any questions. Takes kids on a wonderful tour of the French Quarter, Jackson Square, and local places for kids to see and learn. Would highly recommend to families and adults!
