If you plan to visit the French quarter, we highly recommend Free Tours by Foot.We did 3 tours in total. French Quarter tour and Voodoo tour were both by Sandy, Ghost tour was by Andrew. Some things you can learn online, but it's way better and more fun when you have guides like Sandy and Andrew to interact with and be educated by. It really felt like they were your friends who took the time to tour you around their town.We're happy we did these tours. Had we stayed longer, we probably would have done the other NOLA tours they offered. 😉Brooke B.Brooke B. ★★★★★ We had Andrew as our tour guide and he was FANTASTIC! A local who was so knowledgeable and funny. The tour flew by in the best way as we were so engaged the whole time. Highly recommend doing a ghost tour in New Orleans as it really helps you to learn more about the city and see more of the French quarter.sharon W.sharon W. ★★★★★ We did the ghost tour in New Orleans lead by Roni. He knew lots about the history of NOLA and really seemed to enjoy sharing it. Was one of the highlights of our trip.Darcy M.Darcy M. ★★★★★ We did the New Orleans Ghost Tour. Lisa was an amazing storyteller. Fascinating and educational but also creepy and fun!Erica N.Erica N. ★★★★★ We did 2 tours with Evian (ghost and voodoo). Amazing tour guide!!! Evian is well versed in New Orleans/French Quarter history and had a way with words that kept the information fresh and entertaining. You can tell Evian cares about the history and people of this area. Would definitely recommend booking a tour with Evian 10/10.Lila D.Lila D. ★★★★★ We had the most incredible ghost tour with Lisa! She was hilarious and super on top of everything. We learned so much from her. Highly highly recommend!Heather K.Heather K. ★★★★★ I did several Free Tours by Foot when I was in New Orleans recently - French Quarter, Garden District, Voodoo, Ghost Walk + Treme. They were all AMAZING! I've done these tours all over the world but found that in NOLA the guides were especially knowledgeable and just brimming with information about EVERYTHING New Orleans. Evian did the Ghost + Treme tour and Daniel did the FQ and Garden tour - EXCELLENT guides, felt very lucky to have been allocated to their tours. One thing that was disappointing is that quite a few people took the full tour and then walked away without tipping, these guides work for TIPS and more people need to be conscious of this.Sydney F.Sydney F. ★★★★★ I went on the Ghost and Voodoo walking tours and both times had Evian as a tour guide. Evian is an amazing guide and made the tours very engaging and fun. Definitely a highlight of my trip and a must do when in New Orleans!!js_loader

New Orleans is rumored to have a strong presence of ghosts and spirits. Some say it's America's most haunted city.

The city’s reputation for its connection to the supernatural has led authors like Anne Rice (“Interview with the Vampire”) to set their stories here.  

Some episodes of the hit series “True Blood” take place in New Orleans and for those old enough to remember, the James Bond classic “Live and Let Die” weaved the Voodoo culture of New Orleans into its plot.
