Tour Testimonials

"It was amazing and very informative!"

Jeremiah our guide took us on a ghost and vampire tour through the French Quarter last night!!! It was amazing and very informative! His knowledge of each site was incredible and he answered any and all questions he made the stops very gripping with this story telling! The highlight was the LaLaurie mansion the most haunted place in New Orleans and former home of Nicolas Cage! After the tour Jeremiah chatted with me and my wife and told us more and showed us the filming location of American Horror Story "Coven" which was next door to the LaLaurie mansion!!! We highly recommend this experience!!!!”

"Great Start the Trip"

My partner and I went on the French Quarter ghost and vampire tour on our fight night in New Orleans. Despite being pretty tired after a long series of flights from the West Coast, our tour guide Justin kept our attention with a combination of ghost stories mixed with the history of the local area. Overall a great start to the trip and an amusing telling of the history of the French Quarter. Would recommend.”

-Robert Bennett, posted on Facebook

"DO IT! "

This was a “day of booking” for a party of 7. Our guide was Justin, he kept our little dysfunctional cluster hooked to all his stories…plus he had a great quirky sense of humor. If you’re on the fence about committing, DO IT! We did the vampire and ?? combo tour. NONE of us took pics because we were so engaged.”

"The tour itself was a 10/10"

We did a family tour of the vampires and ghost tour. Adela was a very good tour guide. The tour itself was a 10/10. Highly recommend!

"Will definitely book with this group again next time we visit!"

“Had a blast on our Vampires and Ghost tour with Lenny! He is an amazing story teller and was super thoughtful in consideration to folks who had young kids on the tour. I have been on 2 tours with another company before, and I got more accurate history detail on this tour in addition to stories I had not heard before! Will definitely book with this group again next time we visit!”

"Great Job!"

Our 3 young adult grandchildren liked the tour guide's knowledge of the area & felt the guide did a great job sharing their knowledge.”

"I Was Spooked!"

We took this tour our first night in New Orleans, because I read great reviews on Yelp. I'm so glad I did, because Luke our tour guide did a great job! The tour starts out at Voodoo Lounge, hits up the LaLaurie Mansion, Andrew Jackson Hotel, Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the apartment where the "vampire" Brothers resided before draining 20 victims of blood, and St Mary's where vampires are stowed away for safe keeping.

I was spooked!

- Katie B from Houston TX

"Definitely a can't miss!"

The ghost tour was really interesting and just the right level of creepy, and though I didn't see any ghosts, I did feel adequately spooked…The tours ran high to history, and this company seems to place a very high value on research, preferring to tell true stories and let the history do the talking rather than resorting to weird costumes or made up, overly sensational stories…For those of us who prefer a true story to cheap jump-scares, this tour cannot be beat. I really cannot say enough good things. The price is right, the tours are interesting, and the guides (at least ours) really seem to care about their patrons. Definitely a can't-miss!!”

"We had an AMAZING time!"

We were recently in the french quarter for 4 days, while there we had an amazing time. French Quarter Phantoms tour was one of fav of the trip.

Our 8pm tour of the city and the tour guide were absolutely great. was witty, informative, and very entertaining the places she took us and the scenery she captured of the past events was great, i could picture in my mind how it could have been, very great experience and would recommend anyone going on a trip there for the 1st time or even multiple times and have never taken it, should its totally worth it.

"Can't wait to get home and tell all our friends..."

We just wanted to thank you for the great time we had on your ghost tour last night, it was the highlight of our trip. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. Mark was knowledgeable and entertaining and made us want to learn more about the haunted history in the Crescent City. We're so thankful we were lucky enough to have him as our tour guide.

Thanks for a great time. Can't wait to get home and tell all of our friends about this wonderful tour!

"Charm, professionalism, knowledge, and FUN!"

Concierges’ Choice - I feel I can really rely on this company to provide our guests with charm, professionalism , knowledge & FUN! I highly recommend their tours.

- Russell Murphy, Head Concierge, The Royal Sonesta Hotel

"Luke is Great!"

If you are lucky enough to get madman luke... Then you are in for a treat. Luke is funny, an avid historian, a LOCAL, and a self-admitted skeptic. He will knock your (proverbial) socks off with his eerie gift for story-telling. He will convince you that your 8pm french quarter ghost tour was time well spent. Skip the dressed up fools. Luke is the real deal.

"Enjoyed it so much we booked another tour!"

Our guide, Thomas Webb, was very friendly, knowledgeable and funny! We enjoyed an excellent walk through the French Quarter and learned lots of great info! We enjoyed our tour so much that we booked a tour to go see the cemetery, something we hadn't planned on doing but we had such a good time we decided to go for it! And you can't beat the price! Best in the city!

"The guides have done their research"

I’m kind of a nerd, and I like my stories with some historical backing–the guides here have done their research and know what they’re talking about. They are less likely to dress like Dracula or fake an accent, but you might catch one of them in combat boots or a corset. Mostly, though, you can rely on French Quarter Phantoms to offer solid history and folklore, with just the right amount of dramatic presentation and humor.

"Worth the trip to New Orleans by itself!"

Speaking of ghosts, you can’t say you visited New Orleans without taking a ghost walk or finding yourself in the middle of a cemetery. Obviously, the tour companies offering such excursions are numerous. I chose to tour with the French Quarter Phantoms, and I was NOT disappointed.

French Quarter Phantoms Tour is excellent! This tour will twist and turn through the narrow streets of the French Quarter, while an expert story teller will seriously scare you to death. And these are not “made up” stories. This tour company checks their facts.You will be utterly fascinated with these tales of history, architecture, piracy, scandal, slavery, murder, and anything in between. What can be better than hearing these stories, than hearing them in the places where they actually happened? This tour is worth the trip to New Orleans by itself!

"They were both fantastic!"

I took two tours with French Quarter Phantoms while staying in New Orleans, and they were both fantastic! I went on the ghost tour with Hope as my guide. She was full of interesting stories and she performed them all in such an engaging fashion that the tour arched dramatically like a play would. It was excellent.

- Gretchen P. Manhattan, NY

"In depth to both past and present"

Couldn't have got bored for a minute. (Emily) really has an art for retelling tales - and with funny personal insights and quips too. I was a little skeptical at first as it was so long, but I just wanted her to keep going after it ended. Very interesting and not your average cheap thrill ghost tour. In depth to both past and present.

- Jessep666 South London

"It was fantastic!"

It was fantastic!!! Great tour, a lot of history in New Orleans, recommended for anyone who has some free time, or likes ghost stories. Emily was our storyteller, and she did a wonderful performance, full of energy and full of knowledge. She was very outgoing and helpful after the tour, when we had questions!!!

"I recommend this entertaining tour"

I have been on many ghost tours all over the world and this was the sixth walking tour of the Quarter I've done in the past decade; I am a big fan of ghost folklore, so I'm am by nature hyper-critical of "ghost" tours. This company did a great job. The little pub we met at was fun and comfortable and looked to be a locals joint. No one was shoving a menu with $14 specialty drinks in my face (which is a plus). The guide, while being witty and spinning a decent yarn, was also affable…The stories were "hauntings" and "terrifying historical occurrences,” whit Vampire folklore as well. The price is right on. I would recommend anyone to take this entertaining tour.

"Hope and Trevor are amazing!"

We went to New Orleans for spring break and happened to hear about the french quarter phantoms tour. We were lucky to get Hope as our tour guide. She was polite, funny, and you could really tell that she loved her job and loved history. We had such a blast that we decided to go on the ghost tour later that night. We had Trevor as our tour guide for that. He made a creepy subject hilarious at times, and we learned a lot about New Orleans. I would highly recommend these tours to anyone wanting to have a fun time learning history.

- Rachel M., Emporia, Kansas

"Informative and fun"

It is without costumes and other gimmicks, but the stories are enough to make you look twice at what you swore was just a change in the lighting. You learn a rich history that normally gets bypassed without realizing you are learning. It is perfect for older children, given they are alright with campfire-like ghost stories. Will totally recommend to my friends, and can't wait to go again!

- S. Warren, Pearl, MS

"Highlight of our New Orleans trip!"

Your tour was the highlight of our New Orleans trip! Thank you, and we’ll be back!
