Hear New Orleans ghost and vampire tales, explore with an EMF meter, and stroll the French Quarter with a licensed guide.

About this tour

Step into New Orleans’ shadowy side on a walking tour filled with ghost stories, vampire lore, and mysteries from the city’s past. A licensed guide leads you through the French Quarter, sharing tales of unsolved murders and reported paranormal activity along the way.

The New Orleans Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour brings the stories to life with a real EMF meter, which guests can use to explore possible paranormal signals. The route may include stops at bars, where you can purchase a drink to go; bar visits and wait times can affect the pace and overall duration. Expect a moderate-paced walk through historic streets, and dress for the weather and uneven surfaces. Tours typically last about one to two hours.

Meet your guide at the courtyard gate beside Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop Bar on Bourbon Street, not inside the bar. Paranormal encounters are never guaranteed, but the stories and atmosphere offer a memorable way to experience the French Quarter after dark. Join the New Orleans Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour and see where the city’s legends lead.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.03 from 59 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 5.1.
