At night there are tons of tours happening and you walk past all the other groups and theirs seemed so much more fun and interactive. I wanted to join the other tours. Ours felt like a history lecture, and the guide didn't have a mic so it was hard to hear. Just very very dull and not a lot of ghost. No personality at all.

All the reviews I read noted it wasn't spooky so we went for it and I'm so glad we did! The meeting spot was easy to find. Our tour guide was Ashley. She was phenomenal. She was great with the kids and kept them engaged. She told us all kinds of things about the history of New Orleans especially Jackson Square. I thoroughly enjoyed the information! The tour was a little short of two hours and the time flies by. Nothing was scary that was shared other than light ghost debauchery. Nothing gory was shared and vocabulary was carefully chosen. Parents learned of stories that they could google later for the information. I highly recommend this tour if you're on the fence!

I'm in town for a forensics conference and when I registered, I paid for two spots on the Unique NOLA True Crime Tour that was scheduled for Sunday. My fiancé and I ended up booking a later flight and would not be able to make the Sunday tour, so I called ahead to see if we could be rescheduled. Chris answered the phone and fixed us up without issue; we'd be on the 7pm tour the following day. Carlo texted the group ahead of time as a reminder with the address we would meet him at. At first we were concerned that maybe the tour would cover all the same spots as the usual ghost and vampire tours--my fiancé called that hypothetical "same tour, different flavor"--but I am happy to report that there was only one stop that we had seen before, and Carlo actually mentioned that it's the most famous stop and that it's featured in the other tours. He offered to take us to a different stop instead, but one of our group members was looking forward to seeing the famous one so we did that (you know the one, from AHS). But even there, Carlo stuck to the facts of previous owners of the house, and he told us specifically when an element here or there was a local tale of haunting. All throughout the tour, Carlo was informative, comedic, and didn't claim to know more than he does. We love a factual, history-based tour! At the end, Carlo gave us Mardi Gras tips and directions back to the places we were trying to get to. He grew up in New Orleans, and he's dabbled in a wide range of jobs, so he really knows his stuff. We appreciated every bit of the tour, and would definitely book with them for another tour in the future.

Had a great time on this tour! We took the cemetery tour in mid January 2012…read more George was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable, interesting, and entertaining. Just a little soft spoken. Wish he would have projected more. Thought about just doing the walk through the cemetery on our own- but I'm glad we took a tour because we learned about the burial rituals, architecture of the city, history, and facts about Marie Laveau. After the cemetery portion, we took a break at the visitor's center where we were able to grab a drink and have a bathroom break which was nice. George then pointed out on a map the geography of New Orleans and talked a little about Katrina, which was a nice addition to the tour. I was a little disappointed with the voodoo portion. George talked a little at the visitors center about voodoo, and warned us that we we going to Priestess Miriam's shop ( a voodoo priestess), and that sometimes she speaks about voodoo, and other times she is way off topic, and can ramble on and on about whatever. He was right! A lovely woman- but a bit of a wacko.. she spoke nothing about voodoo. She went on and on about how far our country has come, a funeral she went to in another city, and where everyone was from, but nothing about voodoo. We did get to see her "office" where she does readings and that was pretty cool I guess. She was sweet.. but dang! I wanted some voodoo info! All in all- nice tour. Glad we did it.

I live in the French Quarter, so my relationship with tour groups usually consists of fighting my way down overcrowded sidewalks, listening to the same embellished stories shouted by guides reading from the same script to hand grenade touting tourists with no spatial awareness. It was refreshing to discover this wasn't that. If you're looking for pirates, vampires, ghosts, or whatever story gets recycled every twenty feet, keep walking. Kate skipped the greatest hits and went straight for the city's seedier side instead. Murder? Check. Crime? Check. Corruption? Absolutely. Scandal? Plenty. The same five stories every other guide has been telling for decades? Mercifully, no. None of it felt scripted. You can tell Kate genuinely loves the research. Each stop had me thinking, "How have I lived here this long and never heard that?" It felt less like a history lecture and more like your smartest friend letting you in on a couple centuries worth of really juicy gossip. It was truly an entertaining way to spend a couple hours in New Orleans. 5 stars, all day.

I promised Chris this review and it is long overdue...sorry, Chris!…read moreI attend Mardi Gras in New Orleans every year six (only missed one year because of Covid). Two years ago, I saw a Groupon for the New Orleans Paranormal Society ghost hunt. I bought one for my trip in 2023 and it was so fantastic, I purchased a ticket again this year in 2024. Chris is phenomenal. He is as passionate about the paranormal as any ghost hunter you see on TV. He really makes the experience and is just an all around nice guy as well. This experience is unlike any other paranormal tour in NOLA. I do a different walking tour every year, and sometimes repeat companies because a different guide is a different experience every time. This isn't like the other tours during which you walk around The Quarter and hear stories...and those are completely enjoyable. This one adds in the element of being able to use all the equipment you see the pros bring out on your favourite shows and getting the chance to actually use it yourself. Chris is really great because he gets to know his group, not just, "Where are you from?" but tuning in to how each person feels about the other side and spirits. Both years the tour started at The Hotel Provincial. The first year, the traffic held me up while I was trying to get to my parking spot but Chris waited for me to walk the .5 mile from my parking spot...I ran most of the way lol. The second year, I made sure I got there early and got to have a really nice chat with one of the most personable bartenders I've ever met and have a really great drink he created just for my preferences, so I recommend doing this to kick things off. Chris came over to talk for a little while too, and he remembered me and it was so great to just catch up on life. The first stop both times was a large storage space at the Andrew Jackson hotel. Here you will do a lot of work with the SLS camera. It was kind of heavy and hard to maneuver, but once you got it focused correctly, when you mapped a figure who wasn't there physically, that was incredible to see. This year, Chris also had the string of lights that only light up when something touches them. There was also a spirit boxes, and we did hear voices come through. There is one spirit called Master in there and when he shows up, the feeling is noticeably heavier. The first year, we went over to Hands of Fate. There are many talented healers/mediums there (I had an amazing session with Sam there this year so I'm over the moon Chris introduced us to them). The energy at HOF is crazy. You can definitely feel it. Chris used cat balls while we were there to try to talk to my deceased grandfather. We did get some cool responses of them lighting up at certain questions, and no one was anywhere near the cat balls or the table they were on, and everyone was sitting. We got to use the Estes method, which I've always wanted to try. I did hear some interesting voices while wearing the headphones and one was very dark and disturbing. This year, the second stop was the haunted cottage of a voodoo priestess named Claudia (I hope I'm remembering that detail correctly). This place was so old, such an amazing piece of NOLA history. There was an app he used on an iPad, I believe it's called Spirit Talker. I've see this used at Bobby Mackey's too. It does seem to respond to things that people say or ask at times. I remember it saying some things that gave me goosebumps. There was a guy in our group who was a skeptic, but he seemed to be the target of something in the house that was saying negative things to his questions on the spirit box. I'll have to say that I missed some of what was going on. I'd already made my trip and was very well rested when I took this tour. I was very excited. While we were sitting in the dark in this cottage, I felt absolutely drained. I've seen a certain someone on a certain paranormal show pull this at almost every location: Oh, I'm so drained! This was weird and I didn't like it at all. I've never felt so sleepy, and it wasn't just sleepy but almost felt like your spirit was being pulled away from your body. And I was aware of it and kept trying to snap out if but I couldn't. Weirdest feeling I've ever had in my life. Like I said, it almost felt like I wasn't even there with the group anymore. Thankfully, once the lights were turned back on, I woke up enough to stumble out and as soon as I'd walked around the block, I felt like myself again just depleted of a lot of energy. This is a tour unlike any others in the Big Easy. It's so much fun to interact with people from all over the world and your guide while getting to do something you usually only get to watch on TV. I'm a huge fan of the paranormal and am always wishing to have experiences when I visit haunted sites. We definitely witnessed interactions both years and even though a lot of the cottage was a blur, it was insane to have that kind of experience. Will I be booking again in 2025? Of course!
