Ariadne was the best! We had such a good time and the storytelling was great. I'd love to find another tour with her as the guide!

The Haunted History tour was well put together. Everyone was perfectly kind, it just wasn’t for us. The guide was very enthusiastic however the stories were a little all over the place. We were hoping for more history. Additionally, everyone seemed to be drinking/drunk and a lot of smoking. My boyfriend and I don’t drink so not sure this tour was best suited for us. We appreciate the effort put in!

My husband and I took the haunted ghost tour thru the French Quarter. We met at the location and were told a local bar gives you a buy one get one free hurricane when they see your tour sticker, so we took advantage of that. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history but we expected ghost stories.
Im not going to mention the guides name but he was pretty rude to some folks that accidentally joined our tour thinking they were with the group they paid for. Our guide also acted like he was either taking speed or all coked up. He talked a lot about himself, name dropping. He appeared to know a great deal about the town’s history but very little about ghosts was mentioned. We left wishing we had done a different tour. We do a lot of ghost tours when we travel. This one was sub par.
