    Travelers consistently rave about the exceptional storytelling abilities of the guides here. JJ stands out in multiple reviews for his deep knowledge and fact-based approach to New Orleans history, while Ricardo earns praise for his theatrical delivery and engaging lore. Jeremy gets called out as a natural storyteller who's both hilarious and incredibly knowledgeable, and Elaine receives particular acclaim for weaving together the complex history of the city through captivating narratives. The guides clearly know their material inside and out, covering everything from voodoo ceremonies and Marie Laveau to the darker chapters of the city's past. What makes these tours special is how the guides balance entertainment with authentic historical content. Visitors mention learning genuinely new stories even after taking multiple ghost tours in New Orleans over the years. The tours cover fascinating ground, from Louis Armstrong Park to the Lalaurie Mansion, with convenient bar stops along the way. Guides demonstrate thoughtfulness too, like bringing hand warmers on cold nights and managing groups safely through traffic. The Hell Vision option gets a thumbs up from those who tried it, and the overall experience seems to deliver exactly what people hope for: a fun, informative walk through the spooky and colorful history of New Orleans.

    My son and I enjoyed this tour very much. Ricardo was an excellent tour guide! He knows the material very well and delivers it with a good amount of theatrics. We took a photo of the Lalaurie Mansion and were fortunate to capture an apparition. See if you can spot it.
