The guides really make or break the experience here, and fortunately most reviewers had excellent ones. Roy, Robert, Marcus, Kendall, and Raffle all get enthusiastic shout-outs for their storytelling abilities, historical knowledge, and engaging personalities. Robert particularly impressed guests with how he weaved ghost stories into genuine New Orleans history, while Marcus earned praise for creating intimate discussions about faith and spirituality. The walking tours in the French Quarter seem especially popular, with guides arriving prepared with photos and taking groups to multiple locations over two hours. The bus cemetery tours are more hit-or-miss, and expectations matter here. Several guests felt disappointed by limited stops (sometimes just one cemetery instead of multiple), with traffic and occasional late starts cutting into tour time. A few reviewers expected more ghost lore and historical depth but instead got a casual, free-roam experience where guides encouraged selfies and ghost-hunting apps without much structured content. The meeting spot gets called "sketch" by some, tucked behind construction fencing, though others say it felt fine. If you're booking, the walking ghost tours appear more consistently strong, and requesting a specific guide by name seems worthwhile based on how often reviewers mention wanting to tour with the same person again.
We ( party of 2) took the Destrehan Plantation Night Tour. Our tour guide Trish was absolutely amazing and gave us one of the best informative and engaging tour. The plantation was a beautiful site, well preserved and presented. This tour, NOLA Ghost Riders,and Trish we highly recommend ... 10 stars!!
