I'm so happy we went with Witches Brew Tours! They were the only tour company we found to offer an all encompassing ghost, voodoo, and vampire tour. Believe it or not, most of the tour companies focus solely on ghosts, but we wanted the vampire history as well. The tour itself is 1.5-2 hours with a short break at a local dive bar that serves alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages at a cheap price. The tour guide will also point families with minors to another local spot. Getting into the tour itself, we were lead by Andi, a new resident to New Orleans with lots of knowledge on the paranormal and history of the city. Their voice and way with words made for remarkable storytelling that drew me in. Not only did Andi give us adequate information on ghosts in the neighborhood, the Ursuline convent, Marie Laveau, St. Germaine and more, but they lead with empathy. Explaining why it's important to remember the dark history of both slavery and racism. I learned a lot on the history of voodoo and understand it in a better light, not the version the church likes to portray. I was hesitant about seeing the Lalaurie mansion because I was worried about how the guide would describe this place, but the way they handled the topic was very appropriate. I really respect that they didn't romanticize the gory aspects, but emphasized how horrific the events that occurred here were. The woman who lived there was evil and its better to keep a distance from the house, which our guide also warned us about. "It's important that we remember our history, it helps us become kinder people." -Andi Moving on to the rest of the tour, I can say I learned quite a lot and was satisfied the experience. I didn't see a ghost, but I did smell tobacco smoke underneath William Faulkners apartment. 10/10 I would recommend Witches Brew Tours to anyone looking for a ghost tour. They also have a great shop worth checking out. read more

Our tour guide was amazing! She was entertaining, informative, and helpful! She provided more information than we thought we would receive!!! I had friends that did a Spooky tour through different companies and complained they didn't receive in depth information. I'm eternally grateful for our experience!

My tour guide Kamille was so knowledgeable and kept the tour moving at an interesting pace. She has a gift for storytelling. I grew up in New Orleans and learned a thing or two on this tour. I will add that there was a restroom at the store where we met up at the start and a restroom and drink stop about halfway through the two hour tour. read more

Sister Morgan rocks! Best tour guide ever! She really made New Orleans history come alive for us. I feel like I know the place now in a way I never would have otherwise. On top of that, she is absolutely lovely! read more

My best friend and I had an amazing time. We had Juju who did a fantastic job guiding us around, and really knew her stuff and the people around town. She was detailed and took really good care of the group in the sweltering heat. Not only was she detailed but she had care for her stories and the crowd's tastes. She was very open to questions and gave great recommendations. I will be telling anyone with an ear to book a tour with this company! read more

Our guide Logan was very knowledgeable about New Orleans Voo Doo. The tour started off slow but really picked up toward the end with some really spooky stories. My favorite was the vampire children in the Catholic church. read more

We had a great time with our tour guide, Scott. He was funny as heck, real down to earth, and the tour flowed well. Only downsides- so many tours (not Witches Brew's fault) and we had to bump our time to a later spot because not enough was sold for the earlier tour. Kind of a bummer because we had to rearrange a bit but weren't really compensated for being flexible.. I am glad we went. Worth it! Fun! read more

Date of tour: December 21, 2024 This was the Witches Brew Tour New Orleans Ghost, Voodoo, & Vampire Mysteries Walking Tour with Mack. One of the harder reviews for me to write, as I would love to give four stars but the beginning of the tour was a bit rough as there were WAY TOO MANY people gathered for these tours as well as a lot of horse trading to decide who was going with which tour guide. Seems like that should have been worked out in advance, but that's just me. Mack, however was a pretty decent guide. He had a nice mix of local history, architecture, ghosts, voodoo, the whole works! Loved that we happened to stop in front of the only house in the French Quarter with a red door, which was also featured on a piece of local art I purchased earlier in the trip. Bonus points that this is supposedly the place that inspired Anne Rice to write about Lestat for "Interview with the Vampire." Didn't love the stop at the shady-looking bar halfway through but other than that, it was a good tour! read more

Graham was an awesome tour guide! He had such a captivating way of briefly explaining history that it was so effective yet left me going back to the hotel to do some field research of my own. He also spoke about some of the more difficult topics of history very respectfully. Thank you Graham! read more

Jody was so much fun and very informative ! The tour was a great little go around to some famous spooky locations ! Me and my husband are on our honeymoon and really enjoyed the two hour tour ! She was very considerate of the rain and made sure we all were heard and dry ! Definitely recommend the tour if you're looking for a fun little adventure into the paranormal ! read more

This was my first ghost tour and it did not disappoint! Lacy was our guide and SHE WAS AMAZING!!!!! She was so knowledgeable and held my attention the entire tour. The stories were well told and spooky. My family and I had the best time! (We did the adult only tour which we recommend so you can get a drink in the middle) read more

We have been on numerous ghost tours and this was probably the best one we have done. Highly recommend Morgan the Nun! She was a wealth of information and made this fun for our entire family. read more

Graham was a delight. Super into it, hella experienced, and super timely! The stories were well told and it was a perfect easy route! Highly recommend!!! read more

OMG I cannot say enough good things about this tour. First, our tour guide Chris was simply amazing! He worked in stories about New Orleans past and present and had some much knowledge about the city and subject you would think he lived there all his life. He went in-depth about the areas we passed and the houses we viewed, without being overly gruesome even when the subject called for it. He moved at a pace that kept everyone comfortable and even would point out the many holes in the sidewalks which would take you to another portal to maintain the safety of his guests. His demeaner and personality is beyond compare. The only disappointment I had was we didn't talk about the Axeman or pass Marie Laveau's house, but he did tell us where we could find information and directions to the former site of Laveau's house. It has been torn down and a new duplex stands on the property. The tour itself was amazing and I highly recommend both the tour and Chris as your guide. You will not be disappointed!! read more

Incredible tour -- Mac made it unforgettable! We did the Witches Brew Tour while visiting New Orleans, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The tour itself was a great mix of ghost stories, voodoo history, vampire legends, and some truly wild stories about New Orleans' past -- exactly what you hope for when you sign up for something like this. But what really made it special was our guide, Mac. He was phenomenal. Super engaging, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and just a great storyteller. You can tell he knows his stuff, but more importantly, he knows how to make it fun and keep everyone hooked. Every stop felt like part of a larger story, not just a list of facts. Mac was also great at answering all the random questions people threw at him throughout the night -- whether it was about voodoo, local history, or even little side notes on the city's architecture. He made the whole experience feel really personal and interactive. If you're looking for a tour that's the perfect mix of creepy, fascinating, and entertaining -- and you can request Mac as your guide -- absolutely do it. Highly recommend! read more

Our guide was funny and well educated plus we got to stop at a bar! Even with the rain we still had a blast definitely recommend! I've done this two twice and learned things each time! read more

We booked a Cemetery Tour through Witches Brew and had a great time. I went with a group of 5 friends, and we basically had a private tour. I think the other two guests just didn't show. The guide, Taylor, was similar in age to our group and kind of tailored his presentation to our comments and vibe, which was great. It is about a mile walk, minimal shade. We met at a pizza shop, G's Pizza, so make sure to use the restroom there if that's a concern, and bring a full water bottle. At the end, Taylor dropped us at the street car stop so we could get down to Canal Street for our brunch reservation, but you can also return to G's for a snack. The tour is fun and informative, a reasonable length of time (not too long, not too rushed), and he left us some time to explore on our own. read more

My friends brought me on the ghost tour and I thought it'd be a waste of time, but I ended up loving it! Our tour guide was Christie and she was such an amazing storyteller--she kept the whole group of about 20 people engaged the whole time. She knew exactly when to be witty and when to be serious at the right times in the stories, and kept us on our toes with the suspense. Despite the name, the tour had much more educational value than I was expecting. It was a walking tour and we went to several historic sites in the French Quarter. Even if you don't believe in ghosts, all of the stories were based on real historical events and people. I would definitely recommend going if you are interested in history or ghosts, or both! read more

The tour guide Scott was amazing! We saw some awesome spots and he had a lot of knowledge so even if you know a story you'll learn about it! Definitely recommend as I will likely be coming again! read more

We recently had the pleasure of doing the ghost, vampire, and murder mystery tour with Niki, she was an amazing tour guide! From the moment we set out into the French Quarter, Niki shared tales of NOLA's dark history and paranormal legends. We strolled through the narrow streets and alleys, stopping at various locations that were filled with mystery. From Jackson square to Madame LaLaurie's Mansion if you're a fan of ghost stories, or vampire lore, or just want to experience the city's rich cultural heritage in a fun and engaging way, do yourself a favor and book a tour ! read more

Our friends did a ghost tour and complained so I did a lot of research before picking this one. We did the witch, vampires and voodoo tour. The start was easy to find and I LOVEDDDD I could walk around with a beer. Our guide did this accent/voice thing to make the tour more... hmm theatrical? Creepy? Not sure but I couldn't understand his name. He definitely knew a lot and has some awesome stories!!!! They don't bring you back to the start but it says that when you book the tour. We can on swift weekend so the French quarter was pretty packed so I feel like we missed some things due to that. Nice we got a booze stop. I wish there had been a little more spooky stuff in the tour especially abt vampires but this wasn't an expensive tour so you get what you pay for I think. read more

My husband cannot walk fast nor hear and they said that they would not leave us behind but... After the tour, they just told us to go home had no idea where we were. Very disappointed and hurtful so excited about going on this tour. If you're not young, definitely not take it. Period. We finally found our way home so sad so bad. read more

Highly recommend the 4 in 1 Ghost, Voodoo, Vampire, and French Quarter tour. Gram our tour guide was a comedic story teller, who knows how to tell history in an entertaining manner. The entire tour felt like I was listening to an interactive podcast! Very knowledgeable person and made sure participants felt safe and engaged. Bonus you have a rest break at the oldest bar in New Orleans! Only grow would be to offer walking back tourists to original meeting spot due to your fair share of crazies in the French Quarter (especially at night)! If you want to save a few coins, I recommend booking through Groupon which is what my party and I did! read more

My tour guide was megan the nun. I loved her personality and style and her personal backstory is interesting. The tour was very fun and educational. She had me believing in ghosts and vampires until i got back and started googling. read more

We were really looking forward to this tour, but Robby's attitude ruined the experience. From the start, he was rude and condescending, and it never improved. He made it hard to enjoy or feel engaged, and his tone made us uncomfortable. For the first time ever, we left a tour halfway through--it was that bad. I wouldn't recommend this experience to anyone unless serious changes are made. Also- they have said they have reached out to Brandi (who booked it for our group) this is NOT true- Brandi has called them and they have yet to follow up with her. I do not recommend. read more

Julia aka JoJo. It's fun, entertaining, very knowledgeable on the history of New Orleans I highly recommend it. read more

We were so excited for a ghost tour in NOLA and thought this was it! We bought our tickets through a Groupon for a few bucks off and spent about $30 a piece. We showed up half hour early per instruction and saw hundred of people waiting in line. We waited in line about 20 minutes (it wasn't actually too long of a wait considering the amount of people) when we got to the front we were stuck off to the side to wait near a bunch of stinky trash bins. It was a little hectic as they grouped everyone into their various tour groups, which seemed to maybe start all at the same time. We purposely bought tickets to the 21+ tour. There were several guides cruising around of all make and manner. One dude with a giant stick parading around might have been an actual vampire. We got a nice enough dude in a Tshirt (quite possible Brian Daboll moonlighting as a tour guide.) We then started around the streets often times tucking into dirty corners of parking lots to hear him tell stories. Of the 8 of us (mid to late 30's M&F)only one remained interested, the rest of quickly grew bored. (And I love ghost stories and city lore) after the first stop 2 of our group took off, after the third stop and about 40 minutes in the remaining 6 of us left. The tour apparently takes about 2 hours. Also, when the tour first started he checked to see if there were any kids because he said "this isn't officially the 21+ tour" which I specifically booked so maybe Groupon had an inaccurate listing- not sure. I've done ghost tours in Boston and London and LOVED THEM. This really fell short for us. For the amount of money they're making per tour I definitely expected way more. 2 stars only because our tour guide was nigh enough but waste of $240 read more

First off, this tour was very fun, my wife and I got to see a lot of fun and interesting buildings and learned a bit more of the New Orleans history. The reason I knocked off 2 stars is because our tour guide seemed more interested in talking about the regular history of New Orleans, which is not a problem, but the tour was for the more macabre and supernatural of New Orleans. Additionally, when we would come to a stop, the tour was told multiple times to keep off the road, but also off the sidewalk to keep it clear for those walking behind. Again not a problem, but it was repeated and mentioned over and over again that it felt as if that was the tour itself and not the history of New Orleans. What was kind fun and different from some of the other tours, is that it just ends at the last stop. The tour was not walked back to the original location site, we were just told "Okay have fun! Thanks for going on the tour!" Overall, it was a pleasent experiance, and if I was to do it again, I would do the 21+ tour. read more

Really surprised at the high reviews, as that wasn't our experience at all. Your guide clearly was dialing it in -- gave a couple poorly recited tales, with a good portion of the "tour time" spent taking a "break" at his favorite bar. There are plenty of bars in the French Quarter, if that's how I wanted to spend my time. A tour should be a tour. Then again, I expect it is luck of the draw, if you get the right guide (and get stuck with the right group with the right energy). read more

My best friend and I purchased the 4 in 1 New Orleans Ghost, Voodoo, Vampire and Mystery tour. Overall, the experience was amazing and our tour guide (Fred) was an absolute blast. We were told to be there thirty minutes prior to departure for checking in. Once everyone was there, they separated us into smaller groups so it would be easier for the two tour guides. We ended up getting placed in Fred's tour group and he did an amazing job. He was great with storytelling, kept everyone engaged, and he was very knowledgeable throughout the tour. Based off of the name "New Orleans Ghost, Voodoo, Vampire and Mystery", you would think it's creepy and scary. But that's pretty incorrect. It's very educational about the history surrounding some of the buildings. I would definitely do another tour with this company. read more

Did the Ghost/Voodoo/Vampire/French Quarter Walking Tour, which lasted about 2 hours. Meeting spot is right by the steps of the Courthouse on Royal Street. Chose to do this on our last day, so I would be none the wiser when we explored the French Quarter on our own (aka: so I wouldn't be scared of anything, lol). The areas we walked weren't all that different from where we toured ourselves, but having some added history and stories was great. Our guide, Jodie, told us a true crime story that was related to ghosts and residual energy; told us some history of Jackson Square; talked about the history of voodoo and stopped by a voodoo shop; showed us some famous spots from movies & shows; and we visited both a vampire's house and the LaLaurie mansion (might have caught something on my camera too from this spot - see photo). Overall, it was a pretty good tour. read more

Rob was our ghost tour host and we couldn't be happier with our experience.
