I recommend taking this tour at night to get the full experience. I can’t remember our guides name but I think it was Peter. What I can say is this tour is all about the guide you have. He was really into story telling and involved the guests to share their stories which added to the creepiness around the cemetery at night. It was a nice pace with story telling the entire time of ghost experience.

So much fun! Whether or not you believe in ghosts, it was great visiting all of the cemeteries and learning more about New Orleans’ storied past. They also let us stop at Morning Call, which I would argue is the best spot for beignets in New Orleans! Highly recommend.

Jeff was an amazing guide! I came in as a skeptic (and still am somewhat), but after looking at some photos we captured I can tell you that there are things we cannot explain. I learned a lot about the city's history and had a blast. Would do it again for sure!

Carlos, “the vampire”, was absolutely fantastic. Giving good stories and lots of information. I even was able to be his helper by holding his flashlight. He even killed me off. Good times.

Our guide was fantastic! She was knowledgeable and entertaining. Learned so much. Amazing.
