Follow New Orleans ghost stories, voodoo history, and Italian influences on a guided two-hour walk through atmospheric streets.

About this tour

Step into New Orleans after dark—or whenever your tour begins—and follow stories of restless spirits, voodoo traditions, and the city’s layered past. On this New Orleans Ghost Walk, a local guide leads you through atmospheric streets where historic mansions and narrow alleyways set the scene for tales that linger long after the walk ends.

Over approximately two hours and 2.4 km, hear legends tied to haunted places and learn about voodoo’s place in local culture, including the enduring story of Marie Laveau. The route also explores Italian influences in New Orleans history, bringing together the supernatural and the cultural forces that shaped the city. The tour is a shared walking experience; haunted houses are viewed from outside rather than entered. Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing, and bring a camera if you’d like to capture the streets along the way.

Meet your guide at 528 Toulouse Street. Book your New Orleans Ghost Walk to discover the stories and traditions woven into the city’s historic streets.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.73 from 914 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 8.6. Top 10% in New Orleans means it ranks in the top 10% of tours in New Orleans by this score.
