Explore French Quarter history, ghosts, voodoo, and filming locations on a five-in-one New Orleans walking tour.

About this tour

Discover New Orleans through five themes woven into one lively French Quarter walking tour. This New Orleans Walking Tour brings together local history, ghost stories, vampires, voodoo, celebrity homes, and filming locations, offering a broad introduction to the city in approximately 1–2 hours.

Follow your guide through popular neighborhood sights and local favorites while hearing stories that reveal the French Quarter’s layered past. The tour also uses an EMF meter for paranormal-themed moments, and guests can pause to pick up drinks to go. Stops are viewed from outside; entry to locations is not included. Because the route may include busy bars, the tour can run longer than expected, and the route may change without notice.

Meet on the sidewalk by the courtyard gate outside Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar on Bourbon Street, and arrive a few minutes before departure. With five classic New Orleans themes in one walk, this New Orleans Walking Tour is a spirited way to get acquainted with the Quarter.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.43 from 7 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New Orleans
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
