Full description

New Orleans has been the backdrop for famous writers such as Anne Rice, as well as others who have created blood-sucking fictional characters. This 1.5-hour tour takes you to the dark and mysterious world of the city’s undead and tells you chilling stories of scandalous acts pulled from city police reports, archives, diaries, and newspaper interviews. This is no vampire work of fiction; this is the real deal. As you walk through the streets you will visit various locations associated with these creatures of the night, including a trip to a noted vampire tavern. It is a thrilling and chilling, yet fun-packed, creep through the antebellum streets of the French Quarter by dusk. You can trust to your expert and theatrical guide to protect you from the bloodthirsty creatures of the night. But you might like to bring some garlic – just in case.

Long Winded Blowhard

I gave the Vampire Tour three stars because the experience of a guided walk through the French Quarter at night is enjoyable. Our tour guide named Rose, on the other hand, was a long winded blowhard whose primary goal is hearing herself spew out her scholarly knowledge of vampires. Rose spoke in great detail but at light speed, which made it nearly impossible to follow her much too long stories at each stop. She would be better off using fewer words and telling a few stories well in an effort to entertain while educating the crowd instead of trying to prove her expertise as a scholar. She comes off as more of a know it instead of a friendly entertaining guide. Most of us drifted off in order to avoid feeling confused and/or annoyed.
