About New Orleans Ghost Adventures Tours

New Orleans Ghost Adventures Tours offers highly engaging and informative ghost tours, particularly noted for their exceptional guides who are skilled storytellers. While some tours cater to adults (e.g., haunted bar crawls), there are options that have proven to be a big hit with pre-teens, specifically a 10-year-old who was 'hanging off every word.' The unique value lies in the guides' ability to entertain and educate, making history and ghost stories come alive for various age groups.

Insider tips

Crucially, verify the specific tour type before booking, as some are adult-oriented ('haunted bar crawl') and unsuitable for children.
If booking for a child, consider requesting guides like Gomez or Orion, who received specific praise for engagement and accommodation.
Be prepared for walking through the French Quarter for some tours; others may involve van transportation (as per Review 5).
Bring a camera if you wish to take many photos, as one tour style had limited photo stops (according to Review 5).

Good to know before you go

The 'haunted bar crawl' if you are with children, due to its adult-oriented nature and alcohol stops.
This experience for very young children (under 7-8) or those who are easily scared by ghost stories, as the content can be intense.
Expecting frequent photo opportunities on all tours; some van-based tours may have fewer stops for pictures.
One specific tour is explicitly a 'haunted bar crawl' involving stops for 'good dranks,' making it entirely unsuitable for children.
The nature of ghost stories means some content may be too scary or intense for very young or highly sensitive children.

"First time in NOLA and had to do a haunted bar crawl, of course! Chose this tour since it had a ton of great reviews. Didn’t disappoint! Our guide, DJ, was funny, knowledgeable and made the tour worth every penny! 2 hours flew by as we made our way through the French Quarter, making stops at a few bars for good stories, good times and of course, good dranks ;)! Book this tour and hope you get D.J. - the dude is top notch! Cheers!"

"My sister and I went on the Ghost Tour and had the pleasure of having Orion as our guide into the amazing stories of New Orleans ghosts as well as the history of the city. The stories were fun and informative. We even decided to have dinner at Muriel's the next night due to his recommendation and it was delicious. Booking was easy and the meeting place was easy to find. Orion started the tour off with some very light expectations and his offer to accommodate anyone that needed it showed a concern that is not usually received on tours like this. I highly recommend the tour, especially if yo"
