There are so many tours going on an once that it really takes away from the creep factor. Kendall had good stories, but he added way too many unimportant details and lost my attention. However, I got A LOT of pics with orbs, and even some with figures!

Too crowded, but a fun experience

Our tour guide was Fernando. He was energetic and knowledgeable. We had a group of 7 of us from Orlando and he took time to get to know us a bit. He does speak very fast which was a bit difficult at times. But that would not stop me from having him again as my tour guide if I were to go again. I highly recommend the night time cemetery tour and will tell my friends to take it when they are in New Orleans.

Fun and entertaining

If and when you book, ask for fernando to be your tour guide. He was the best one yet. Very educational and we had the best time learning about new orleans and getting spooked.

hello fernando!

I only had two days in New Orleans and wanted to explore the city as much as possible. I had a particular interest in learning about the impact of Hurricane Katrina. I spent the majority of my time seeing the French Quarter and some of the Garden District before taking this tour, which I truly enjoyed. Unexpectedly, this tour became the highlight of my trip. I so appreciated our guide’s knowledge of the city, the way he led the tour with truth and a sense of humor, and how he explained the devastation to this day due to Katrina as we traveled to different neighborhoods. It was a humbling experience that I feel I learned a lot from. 10/10 recommend

My favorite tour during my stay in New Orleans

3 hour bus trip

Driver was friendly and informative (although I thought that a couple of the hurricane statistics weren't accurate.)  Bus was comfortable and easy to see out.  Driver was very willing to answer questions.  Got to see parts of the city that are not part of the typical tourist destinations.

Taylor did an amazing job leading us around the French Quarter while telling us interesting historical facts at every turn.  The cemetery information was fascinating, even though we weren't able to enter due to ongoing litigation issues involving the Catholic Church.  I highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Taylor!!!

Our Guide Was Awesome!

The guide was fun and very informative about the history of the tour

Voodoo

Let me tell you how outstanding Sandra was who led our tour.   I think you would be hard pressed to find a more accommodating and knowledgeable person to lead these tours in Nea Orleans. I live here now but a friend was in town and we decided to do all the “tourist” things.  So glad we did.   Sandra deserves a raise I would highly recommend anyone to go on a tour she is leading.   Will definitely book again next time friends from out of town visit our city!!!

As a native New Orleanean bringing friends to NOLA, this tour was perfect. Our guide, Gary, gave us the perfect balance of history, food tips, and trip advice. He was fun to hang out with and learn some things I never knew while informing some tourists about the important things you've got to know about New Orleans. This was some of the best money we spent all weekend. I'm putting this on my list of things to do when I bring friends to New Orleans.

Put this on your must-do list

Gary was a great, local tour guide. The first stop at the Happy Raptor was a great move!  Keep telling your stories Gary!

This was our first activity in New Orleans, and it was a great way to start our trip! We learned so much about the history and culture of New Orleans with respect to burial and in general, and our guide, Charlie, was knowledgeable, likable, and thorough. I HIGHLY recommend devoting some of your trip to exploring this quintessential aspect of New Orleans.

Great tour!

This was a very informative tour.  Learned so much with Thorn as our guide.  He was witty and knowledgeable!  Great tour!!

Thorn was Great!

Out tour guide was Thorn. And let me tell you...he's one of a kind. I learned so much on this 2 hour tour. He is funny and engaging. He really captures the heart of NOLA and you can tell he loves his "job". He lives for this!! I am going to tell everyone about him and this tour. I only wish I got more business cards from him. The tour was short, distance wise, and was perfect for us adults. My teenagers were impressed and my young son, though he was hungry, had a great time. I do suggest you bring water and snacks. I honestly can't wait to do it again. My teens want to do a night vampire tour. I'm all for it, if Thorn is our guide. You will not be disappointed with this tour or Thorn.
