We did the Kids French Quarter Ghost Hunt for my daughter's 7th birthday, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Jill, was incredible -- she's a former teacher, and it really shows. She kept all the kids completely engaged and excited the entire time, balancing spooky fun with just the right amount of history. The tour was a perfect mix of interesting stories for adults and hands-on fun for the kids. The children loved using the ghost-hunting gadgets and they truly felt like little investigators exploring the French Quarter. It was such a unique and memorable experience, and everyone (kids and parents alike) left smiling and talking about it the rest of the night. I can't recommend this enough for families looking for something different, educational, and entertaining in New Orleans! read more

We booked a private tour for 12 with Jill and absolutely loved it. Jill was very calm, sweet and knowledgeable. Would book with her anywhere around the world! read more

We had a Spooky Ghost Hunt tour with Jill and had a wonderful time. The tour is advertised as led by teachers, and it was clear that that experience makes their guides patient and skilled at engaging with kids. The tour included ghost stories (not scary) and hands-on activities, but not too much walking. Highly recommended for anyone with kids. read more

We had a very knowledgeable tour guide named Leeann. She's a school teacher who grew up in the French Quarter and her expertise really showed. She had visual aides, to make the tour hands-on and exciting for the kids. In fact, our whole family enjoyed it. This was a great way to kick off our family NOLA trip because it has allowed us to have a foundation of understanding of this unique culture. I highly recommend you do the tour, preferably on the first day of your trip read more

We had an awesome time! The tour was fun and educational. The kids really enjoyed the experience and so did we!

My family took the Twilight Tour for my daughter's birthday. I was worried that my children wouldn't enjoy it because they were already a little tired after sightseeing earlier in the day, but the tour was interactive, engaging, and held their interest. The tour guide was very patient with answering the many questions. I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for an age-appropriate ghost tour. read more

Great tour for kids. MC led an interactive tour to some of the haunted spots in NOLA. She had different "energy reading" devices the kids used to find possible ghosts. All in all a fun tour. Recommend for younger kids. read more

I want to say that I think this may have been the best tour of any city I've ever been on. It was geared for my teenage son but I learned more about New Orleans than in the whole time I was there. It is a must for kids but I think I enjoyed it more than my son!!!! read more

Ya'll. I knew this was going to be fun for my kiddos. But I really underestimated how much *I* was going to love it. First things first. This tour the best thing you can do with kids in the Quarter. If your kids love history (or even if they don't) the teen tour is an absolute must! Our tour guide Richard taught us about the history of the Mighty Mississippi, the elaborate initials in Jackson Square and the savage lady they belonged to and much, much more. He entertained us and gave us pop quizzes all along the way. Secondly, if you're local and turn your nose up at this then you're missing out! If you're visiting with your kids I highly recommend this tour! Kid friendly French Quarter? That's a win-win. read more

We took a kids walking tour and it was wonderful! Very educational while being engaging and fun.

My family did a kid friendly ghost tour with Jill. She was amazing! She completely captivated my twins (who are almost 7). There was a large range of kid ages on the tour and everyone was involved and interested. She had preprinted name tags for the kids and she did a remarkable job of calling their names and asking questions and involving everyone. When we finished, my Max asked if we could do it again. (and if that isn't an endorsement, I don't know what Is). A few days after the tour, we saw her in the French quarter wearing a hoop skirt for another tour and she helped Jackson's "magic spell wish" come true. I highly recommend! read more

This was a wonderful tour for kids and adults. I had my 7 and 8 year old do the spooky tour and they had so much fun. Our guide Candice was wonderful with the children and was very attentive to their questions and comments. The kids enjoyed the ghost meters and the thermal readers to find their ghosts. I had taken an adult ghost tour with another operator and I would say this was much more fun and informative. read more

This is a must for anyone traveling with kids. My daughter took the twilight tour and had a blast. The kids learned a lot, got to provide their opinions, and have fun in the process. There is a lot of good info without being overly graphic. read more

We had such a great time learning about the French Quarter from Connie. She waS super engaging and kept it fun for the kids with activities and props. We learned so much about the history of N.O. Definitely recommend Quartour for anyone with kids. read more

This tour was so much fun. We were visiting the city and wanted to do a ghost tour but not scare the kids. This was perfect! Our tour guide was so nice to our kids and changed the length and depth of the content based on their interest. She was also able to add more content for parents while walking between stops. There were many hands on activities as well that our kids loved! Such a great experience! Our tour guide was so kind and also gave us lots of great info and tips about New Orleans. read more

March 12 2019 we did the 4:30 tour with our 8 year old and 6 year old. I wish more cities would have tours geared more towards kids. This was our first stop in town and it had our kids super excited about the time we had in New Orleans. Our group had to wait for another family that was stuck in traffic. The French Quarter traffic is crazy I WOULD Strongly suggest that you park and walk to the tour. You'll have more fun and it will take less time. Also look for the Yellow Kids Tour Cart. If there was one thing I'd change it would be the price of adults. Maybe 10$ not 17. This was fun and we hope to do the spooky tour on our next trip. read more

My kids loved this tour! And I enjoyed it too. Such a fun way to walk around town and get to know the history behind some of the buildings. read more

The Ghost tour of the French Quarter is a must for every family with kids between the ages of 5-8! Jill is the female equivalent of the Pied Piper .. she captures the interest of every kid for a full 2.5 hours and they follow her mesmerized by her Nawlin charm and little tricks up her sleeve like treasure maps carefully planted on the sidewalk , ghost readers and box of intriguing spells. Every boy and girl on the tour plus even the grown ups were fully captivated by her as she masterfully retold Ghostly tales and took us to all the haunted sites in the French Quarter. Prior to the tour I was a little concerned that the ghost tour would be too scary for our son however Jill reassured me that ghosts in her tour were treated in the same realm as the tooth fairy. And she was right. I did not see one spooked out face and Jill certainly kept things light yet still fascinating as we went on her enchanting magical ghost hunt! A must for the young and young at heart! read more

We did two tours with them. The first should have been canceled due to rain. We were trapped in an alley from the start of the tour through most of it. Obviously there's no way to control the rain, but when it's pouring so hard that you can't conceivably do the tour in the rain, the guide should have the ability to cancel and refund. My bigger issue is that the Creole kids tour is supposed to tell kids what it was like to be a kid--girl/boy, slave/free etc and our guide gave our kids ZERO information about being a kid. Hoopskirts and the secret language of fans have nothing to do with childhood. Our guide Eric also didn't seem to connect with the kids. However the Spooky tour is great. Heidi was phenomenal and really clicked with the group of kids. My only reservation is there's a "voodoo spell" the kids do, and it's just really disrespectful to use someone's culture and heritage like it's on par with something fictional, like ghosts. But the rest tells the story of Mdme Lalaurie without any mention of her torture of slaves because the tour is for young children, a stop at Lafitte's blacksmith shop where a ghost gives them tops on where to go next - - the church and pirate's alley. read more

A fantastic way for little ones to learn about the rich history of New Orleans. My little ones (10 & 8) were enthralled with the stories and consider the Twilight Tour a highlight of our trip. Candice was amazing! Highly recommend. read more

Quite possibly the best thing we did in New Orleans. We did the Pirate Treasure Hunt tour with our two kids, ages 4 and 6. Communication was great, from booking to the reminders the day of. The tour itself was the perfect length and I appreciated the props and visual aids that were brought along. We thought the amount of walking was just right and the kids enjoyed the "treasure" at the end. That night at dinner my daughter was talking about the facts she learned and it's obvious the tour captured her attention and she learned a great deal. We all did, and we had a good time to boot. For the price it was fantastic and I'm hoping to do it again. read more

Jill is well-versed on her New Orleans history and tailored an interesting tour about ghosts in the Quarter to my 7 & 9 year old kids. We did the Creepy Crescent Tour in March and it was a highlight of our spring break. She was cautious until she knew their fear-level and also presented in a way that they learned history too. We all (even the adults) enjoyed it! read more

This was a fun, engaging and educational tour for the whole family! The guide is a New Orleans local whose family goes back generations, and a teacher as well. She was personable and knowledgeable and we learned so much while having fun! Just the right length, too. I HIGHLY recommend! read more

This kids tour was fantastic and really exceeded our expectations. We did the kids ages 5-10 ghost tour with our 5 and 8 years. Jill our guide was awesome and had the kids totally captivated. We did walking tour of some of the French quarter's most haunted buildings but with sanitized, kid friendly story lines of the ghosts. The kids had a blast as they walked around town trying to pick up ghost readings on their ghost meters. Jill was great and the kids ranked this one of the highlights of their trip. Would highly recommend for young kids. read more

Great tour. We took 3 boys. (10, 7, 5). The guide was amazing and the boys had a great time. Worth it!!!

My family (myself, husband, 10 year old son and 7.5 year old son) did the kid friendly spooky tour with Jill. ALL of us absolutely loved it. We talked about it constantly during our trip- it was definitely a highlight. Jill is great with kids- especially kids with energy and maybe not the greatest attention span. Just the perfect amount of New Orleans history and spooky stories. I can't recommend this tour enough- you will not regret it!! read more

This is a great tour that the kids and parents are sure to enjoy and learn allot from. The tour teaches about the history of the french quarter and how people used to live back when New Orleans first began. I am glad that the kids and I took the tour and learned allot. Plus, there is a gift at the end! read more

I am a third grade teacher, and we brought the entire third grade class with us on this awesome and engaging tour! Not only were Richard and Jill so knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans, they were patient and found a way to engage all of my students (most of which are ESL students). They did an awesome job of using props, like maps and photos, to go along with the tour. The teachers even learned lots of fun, new information about the city! It was a great tour, and I highly recommend spending a few hours with your families or students on this tour. read more

I wrongly assumed this was going to be a watered down historical ghost tour. No, it was extremely entertaining, interactive and engaging. My 5 and 8 year LOVED every minute. Jill is incredibly engaging and you can easily tell she is a teacher because she knows exactly how to keep this age group paying attention. Never in a million years would I have come up with the creative stuff she does! read more

Jill was very nice and super-engaging with the kids. She did of good job of keeping things simple and fun. Highly recommend this tour for families. read more

We took the Jazz tour with Richard in June 2019 and it definitely was one of the highlights of our trip. It's billed as a "Tween/Teen" tour but I had as much fun as the kids did (We were a party of 9). The thing that made this tour special was that Richard, a New Orleans native and history teacher, really loves this city and loves what he's talking about and it shows. We really felt that he had a strong connection to this city and it's history. There were no boring parts and he knew about every street and corner we walked on. I highly suggest taking this tour you won't be disappointed. read more

Wonderful. The best thing we did in New Orleans! (Okay maaaybe beinets beat this but still...). Jill was so knowledgable and so engaging. She came prepared with props for the kids to handle and historical props to share with the kids. She is a skilled teacher and it shows. My 7 and 3 year old took the Tiny Tour and had a blast. They answered all her questions and learned so much. They rated this the best thing in NOLA. The tour was just over an hour. Perfect for the kids. The price was great too. I cannot recommend enough! Call her right now. read more

The kids had a great time with Jill. She has a great rapport with children, and manages to impart a lot of historical background on the French Quarter in a way that captures their attention. We appreciated the opportunity to take this tour during our visit to NOLA, and definitely recommend it to other families. read more

This was an excellent tour for the kids! I came down to New Orleans with my sister in law and her two girls, looking for something that they could be involved in. We found this tour, word of mouth, and it was perfect! The girls loved it, and so did we! Highly recommended and very educational. read more

Just so fantastic. She is an incredible teacher who can really keep the kids engaged, even the ones who might be considered disruptive in the hands of a less skilled guide. We learned geography, history, antebellum courtship, gross stuff and more in a way that was interactive and perfect for kids and just as educational and enjoyable for adults. We will probably go back for another tour with her one day, she is that good. read more

This tour with Jill was the highlight of my 9-year-old daughter's stay in NOLA. She taught the children and adults alike the history of New Orleans, providing props and her obvious experience as a teacher to keep them engaged. She somehow knew to zero in on my daughter when telling them to meet at the lamppost but to stay off the grass. How'd she know that mine would be the kid to focus on? I definitely recommend finding Jill if you're in New Orleans with children. read more

Our boys (6&9) had so much fun learning during their tour. Jill was excellent with the kids and really understood how to engage them. As parents, we had fun listening to the answers the kids gave Jill (some incredibly insightful, others just silly). We all walked away with new facts about the area. In fact, our boys had fun spotting the "sinking buildings" during the rest our our trip. read more

Great tour for kids and adults! Our tour guide Judy was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. Very fun!
