Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I highly recommend this tour, and it is very reasonably priced for such a rich and dense tour. Bobby, our guide, not only gave very lively accounts about the ghosts and vampires of New Orleans with flair, but he is very knowledgeable about the history behind each location and story. Bobby consistently answered each question and also diffused the experience with humor, when appropriate, and gave warning when he was going to discuss a couple of stories that he said no humor would be used. His passion for the history and lore of New Orleans is contagious, and I would love to go on another tour with this company. Our family of 4 loved it. I would recommend not bringing anyone under 13, or someone sensitive to horror stories, as some of the information is relatively graphic. It was also nice to get a 10 minute bathroom and drink break!

Te’Erika was everything on this tour. Her passion and enthusiasm for the lore and history of the French Quarter ghosts and Vampires is evident and made the tour that much more enjoyable. We took our three kids (12, 10 and 7) and they too were entertained the entirety of the tour.
I have not taken any other ghost tours in New Orleans but I can say definitively that you will get your money’s worth on this tour. You will learn and be entertained and have a great memory of New Orleans when you leave.

We very much enjoyed our tour with Adelai. She was cute, witty and very informative. She easily captured our attention and made our time memorable. Family friendly-our group included myself with my step mother and my 3 children ages 9, 18 and 20. Lots of walking, but lots of stops to hear stories and one bathroom stop/drink refill about half way. They also give you a wrist band for the tour that gets you BOGO half off hurricanes at the VooDoo Lounge, which is the bar on the front side of where you check in for the tour.

We took the tour at twilight and would recommend this time for everyone. The darkening specter of the French Quarter added to the lively, dark shtick of our guide kept things engaging and well worth the reasonable $20 per person tickets. We were lucky to get a smaller group — just the right setup.

This was such a good tour and our guide, Leonard, was knowledgeable, funny and very patient with our large group. The bar we left from was very easy to find and the drinks were good. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the stories were super interesting and didn’t feel rushed. He answered questions and gave us time to take pictures. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a fun activity in the quarter to learn more about some of the darker history of the city. Ask for Lenny!

Te-Erika was amazing!!!! She was SO informative and shared so much of the history behind all the stories and the lore. She put up with the drunk frat guys who were questioning her sharing the history and was so animated with her storytelling. I really think we got the best guide possible and I would recommend this to anyone who likes history and ~spooky~ things!!

Kathrine was an AMAZING tour guide. We were in NOLA a few weeks back and only had 5 people doing the tour. She went out of her way to make the tour more personalized and unique since we had extra time due to a small group. She took her time and was able to go super in depth with the stories as well. She even pointed out different historical artifacts and buildings throughout the tour that we never would have known or learned about if it wasn’t for her! She was super sweet and funny. I would absolutely love to go on another tour of hers if I ever get to NOLA again!! This by far was my favorite tour we did during our trip. We did quite a few tours during our trip and lots of them brought us to a specific bar at the halfway point, to accommodate us Katherine brought us to a different one for the halfway break so we did not have to go to that bar again.

I have done several of these all over the country--third time I've done one in NOLA, so I feel like I have a good enough reference to say French Quarter Phantoms Ghost Tours was well worth the money! We were dying to introduce my 8 year old to the ghost tour experience, but were a little afraid he might get too frightened. This tour combined just the right amount of spooky with the just the right amount of history about NOLA. The best part was by far our tour guide, Malika. I highly encourage anyone who is touring to request her. She was phenomenal. She made me laugh several times, and even tried to keep it light when asking tour guests to keep their masks up over their nose (which I can imagine puts these guides in an uncomfortable position).
What really made Malika stand out was how she did not miss a beat in the middle of a torrential downpour. There was a lot of loud thunder, blowing rain, and she was getting soaked (even with her umbrella), but she kept on as if the spooky weather was all part of the tour.
My son loved it and wanted to do it again a second time. It's such a fun way to learn a little bit of history about a place! If you're debating on this one, don't. Book it and enjoy!

We looked forward to this trip for some time, having done ghost tours in multiple other cities around the US. The tour started fine, with a very large group of people that was never counted. For the second stop of the tour we were taken to a bar with a supposedly haunted history where we were told we could get a drink at a discount with our wristbands. After a short time talking with some other tour participants, we looked around and realized the tour guide had left, leaving approximately a dozen people from the tour behind, including a family with teenage children who had dressed up specially for the tour. We looked around and tried to find the tour to no avail. Extremely disappointed. We’re currently awaiting a refund.

Sign in process chaotic. People cutting line, groups crowding a tiny space. No order. Staff=rude. Asked for advice on best place to park (i was with my grandma in a wheelchair and arrived early to ask their advice). They could care less. Waited in line to check in while others cut the line/pushed me aside. Staff saw me get back in line after asking about parking, Didn't have decency to tell me I couldn't check without my grandma. Ran 5 blocks, parked car, and wheeled her as fast as I could as to not miss the tour. We arrived, got bracelets, waited 30 more mins.while chaotic process continued. My grandma has wanted to go on a ghost tour for years. We opted for this tour rather than the Natchez for the jazz dinner. Big mistake. I read all the reviews online. It was nothing like what's in reviews. They are not friendly. Not accommodating to the elderly (could not hear a thing the tour guide was saying, had to make unnecessary street crossings in wheelchair at various times which causes someone in a wheelchair to have to roll ALL THE WAY down the street, cross the street, then roll all the way back up the other side to meet the guide) Others in group took better care of my grandma than the company/guide. Many commented it was sad to see that a disabled person was made to feel invisible/not part of the experience. 2.5hrs of walking to see 3-4 places you can google, get info, and visit yourself. They don't care if you enjoy it or not. Total joke. Bottom feeders running it.

My sincere apologies for your experience. I will address the office staff and guides accordingly. They should have taken better care of you all the way around and there are no excuses. I expect better care of our guests than what you have described here. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I'm interested in booking this as an optional event for a group but I won't know how many we have until the day of. Is there a way to book all the spots available for March 25, 2023? Thank you!

You would have to contact them. I know when we went, there were several groups at the same time and a couple of them were private.
They might be able to charge you a flat fee, but am not sure, sorry!

Hello. Are kid tickets the same price as adults?

Children's tickets are cheaper, but this is NOT appropriate for children under twelve. There were kids around ten years old with us on our tour and they were freaking out with some of the graphic details from the LaLaurie Mansion stop.
Is this a day tour?

Information mentions "small group" - what does this mean is the largest size group we might be with, and would a Sunday night 8pm be likely to be a smaller group than Saturday night?

My 14 year old daughter and I will be staying at the Hyatt by the Superdome in about a week. We are very interested in your Ghost/Vampire tour, but a native New Orleanian (?!) has raised some concerns about safety in that part of the French Quarter. We would probably travel by streetcar...how safe would it be to travel back to the Hyatt after the tour? Is there a lot of activity in that area at night? Should we streetcar there and Uber back? She really scared me!

Where the tour is walking is safe. Heading back that distant to your hotel, you may want to take transportation back.
