    This ghost tour company has clearly built something special, and it shows in how consistently visitors rave about their guides. What stands out most isn't just the spooky stories, but the genuine passion and expertise each guide brings. Names like Orion, Doug, John, and Jeff get called out repeatedly, with reviewers noting their immersive storytelling abilities and deep knowledge of New Orleans history and culture. The guides don't just recite facts; they create connections between ancient folklore and local traditions, treating the city's history with real reverence. Several reviewers mentioned getting access to locations other tours simply walk past, including actually exploring historic cemeteries rather than just viewing them from outside. The experience feels thoughtfully curated rather than rushed. A few practical details worth knowing: expect a decent amount of walking, sometimes on uneven sidewalks, so wear appropriate shoes. Most tours include a midway break at Le Fittes Blacksmith Shop where you can sit and grab a drink (the purple drink gets a shoutout). Beyond the historical and paranormal content, what really shines through is the human element. One reviewer's daughter felt ill during the tour, and the guide stayed with them, fanning her with his umbrella while other tour members helped with cooling towels and drinks. That kind of genuine care seems emblematic of the overall experience. Whether you're death doulas seeking deeper cultural understanding or just tourists wanting an entertaining evening, the guides here apparently know how to read their audience and deliver something memorable.

    Orion was very fun, knowledgeable and was a phenomenal storyteller. From start to finish, we got to see and hear so many great tales. The fans provided at the beginning were very helpful. Don’t want to ruin his great tales by adding any partial snippets but well worth the money. Would definitely do it again if he’s our guide.
