About this tour
Step into the shadowy stories of New Orleans on a French Quarter spirits walking tour, where historic streets and haunted lore set the scene. With a local guide leading the way, explore locations around the neighborhood and hear tales connected to its mysterious past.
The moderate-paced walk lasts approximately one to two hours, with the route and timing shaped in part by waits at bars. Guests can stop to purchase a to-go drink before continuing to the next location. Photos are welcome, and paranormal equipment may be requested at check-in, subject to availability and return requirements. The tour takes place on public streets and walkways, which can be old and uneven. While the stories invite you to keep an eye out, paranormal activity is never guaranteed.
Meet at the courtyard gate beside Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar at 941 Bourbon Street, not inside the bar. Arrive a few minutes early, then follow your guide into the French Quarter’s atmospheric past. Book your New Orleans French Quarter spirits walking tour for an evening of local lore, lively stops, and a different perspective on the city.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1. Top 48% in New Orleans means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in New Orleans by this score.
