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.

What travellers are saying
- Michelle SDecatur, AL37 contributionsThis place, in the heart of New Orleans is where everything takes place at once. You never know what you're going to see. Every type of drink and band and street entertainment you can think of. The smell is terrible, there are homeless people laid on the street that you have to step over. I would not go there personally at night. I also would not carry my children down this street day or night. If you want to party this is the place to be.Written 26 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DataLifePlusMaui, HI3 contributionsGreat room themes with clever and satisfying puzzles. Felicity was our game master and made the experience amazing for us! Would recommend for adults and families with kids!Written 26 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Megan Harris BruniousNew Orleans, LA2 contributionsI enjoyed an evening tour about "Women and the Magic of the French Quarter" with David Lord that started and ended at Hex. What a lovely shop! Bright, clean, spacious and well-stocked, Hex was a breath of fresh air from tours meeting at bars or smokey side-street lounges. The shop keeper was kind and accomodating, while giving shoppers plenty of space. Perfect way to start and end an excellent tour - surrounded by volumes of books on a wide range of esoteric interests and historic grimoires. The tour took us around the lower river-side quadrant of the French Quarter, showcasing familiar stories about women like Marie Laveau, Madam Lalaurie, and Mary Oneida Toups while defining the magic that is already all around us. Truly a wonderful evening and beautiful shop.Written 8 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Jess StadlerLos Angeles, CA32 contributionsLoved this shop! Stumbled upon on it on one of our many walking adventures. I love all the art from local artists. A lot of unique pieces and a lot to look at. From jewelry to art prints and tarot cards etc. I left with a beautiful major arcana card set for a friend. The quality is 10/10 and it was the perfect gift. I’ll definitely come back for more gifts and personal items next time I visit NOLA.Written 5 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lindsay M12 contributionsSo much fun. Exciting karaoke club lots of bars and even a roof top area. We went here a few times on our trip and enjoyed it. Our only bad experience was with one bartender who didn’t seem to care and never got our order straight but the rest of them were awesome.Written 16 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Celi1 contributionBest tour ever! Lisa was our tour guide and she was so well educated on the subjects as well as made the tour so much fun! She was thorough with the information and stops, asked if we had any questions, and made a few jokes to go along with the tour as well. She even went out of her way to make sure we didn’t accidentally get hurt on the tour because of the sidewalks being cracked. On top of that she gave advice and options for food or must see places to see! If I ever visit again I’m sticking with Ghost City Tours and will make sure to get Lisa as a guide again!Written 18 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- nicolelrockNew Orleans, LA3 contributionsI loved The Sweat Social's Running Tour through the French Quarter. The tour guide was so knowledgable and made learning fun. The group size was perfect - small enough to feel intimate but enough people to make a few new friends along the way!Written 5 June 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 921clinthSt Louis, mo116 contributionsThis is always a place I love. This trip not so much. It has changed to a sports type of bar and not the man bar it should be. The name tells it all.

- ForeverBlueJeansOntario, Canada26 contributionsOne of THE best walking tours I have ever done in NOLA. Funny, informative, personable. My grandmother was enthralled, as was everyone in our group.

- Casey S1 contributionWe decided to take this walking tour on our last day in New Orleans, and we were BEYOND glad we did. Our tour guide Nica was PHENOMENAL! She was funny, and had the best energy (we could listen to her for hours!) The tour was informative. It was a good mix of the supernatural and real science. Regardless we were left with chills and thrills! Best way to spend 2 hours.Written 26 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
