Had a fantastic tour in New Orleans with our guide Henry. Henry was super knowledgeable of the area and all of the ghost stories within. He provided an excellent experience and I couldn’t recommend him enough!
I went on a fantastic walking ghost tour. Our guide, Henry, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the city's haunted history to life with great storytelling. He blended ghost stories with historical facts perfectly, making the tour both engaging and educational. Henry took us to iconic and eerie locations, sharing fascinating insights at each stop. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans—Henry made it a memorable experience!
This tour was a lovely experience!! It was so different then anything I've ever done, and our tour instructor Brian was very friendly!! I highly recommend!!
Henry, our tour guide made our first ghost tour in New Orleans memorable! He was super knowledgeable, not only with the ghost stories but with general knowledge about the history of city. Would definitely recommend…we did the 7:30pm tour but if you're looking for more of a fright, I'd recommend the later tour as we saw them out and about. Awesome to see Mr. Henry giving another tour the following night.
The Ghost Bus Tour with our amazing guide Kiara was fantastic! Getting to see the culture and learn the history of Louisiana was refreshing as well as exhilarating- getting to know about the lore and the history of voodoo (an often misconceived practice). All in all, 11/10 tour/experience🤩
