What you'll see and do
Jackson Square
At Jackson Square, the heart of haunted New Orleans, travelers will begin their journey surrounded by centuries of dark history. Framed by the iconic St. Louis Cathedral and shadowed by the looming presence of Père Antoine Alley, guests will hear chilling tales of colonial executions, voodoo rituals, and restless spirits said to linger in the square. As we distribute EMF detectors, travelers will learn how to use real paranormal gear before diving into the French Quarter’s most haunted corners. It’s the perfect starting point—equal parts beauty, mystery, and bone-deep chills.
10 minutes here
At Pirate’s Alley, travelers will step into one of New Orleans’ most mysterious and atmospheric passageways—narrow, dimly lit, and brimming with lore. As we guide you through the alley’s dark past, you’ll hear tales of duels, smuggling, and the ghost of legendary pirate Jean Lafitte, said to still walk these bricks. You’ll use your EMF detector to scan for paranormal activity while standing just steps from the cathedral, where shadows seem to move on their own. It’s a place where myth, murder, and the supernatural collide—right in the heart of the Quarter.
10 minutes here
At the Andrew Jackson Hotel, travelers will visit one of the most notoriously haunted lodgings in the French Quarter. Built on the ashes of a boys' boarding school that burned down in the 1700s, this site is said to be haunted by the spirits of children—heard laughing, running, or even tugging at guests’ clothes. You'll hear chilling stories of tragic fires, ghostly pranks, and the lingering presence of a woman in black. As we scan the area with EMF detectors, don’t be surprised if the energy spikes—many believe this hotel is one of the most active paranormal hotspots in New Orleans.
10 minutes here
At the Touchdown Jesus statue, located near St. Anthony of Padua Church, travelers will encounter one of New Orleans’ most unexpected and eerie landmarks. Nicknamed for its outstretched arms resembling a referee’s touchdown signal, this towering figure has become the subject of local lore. Some claim to see the statue's expression change at night, or feel a strange presence while standing beneath it. Though it may seem like an odd stop, its proximity to cemeteries and reports of supernatural encounters have made it a favorite for EMF activity. It’s a surreal, spiritual, and slightly unsettling moment on the tour.
10 minutes here
Lalaurie Mansion
At the infamous LaLaurie Mansion, travelers will stand before one of the most chilling and tragic sites in New Orleans. Once home to Madame Delphine LaLaurie, this grand residence hides a gruesome past—where enslaved people were brutally tortured in secret chambers until a fire exposed her horrors to the city. Locals say their screams still echo through the walls, and shadowy figures have been seen moving behind the upper windows. As guests scan the site with EMF detectors, it’s not uncommon for devices to light up. This is not just a haunted house—it’s one of the darkest chapters in New Orleans’ haunted history.
10 minutes here
Old Ursuline Convent Museum
At the Old Ursuline Convent Museum, travelers will visit the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley—dating back to 1752—and one of the most quietly chilling stops on the tour. Once home to the Ursuline nuns and a mysterious group of young women known as the “Casket Girls,” the convent is steeped in eerie legends involving locked attic shutters, vampire lore, and secretive rituals. As you explore the outer grounds with your EMF detector, you’ll hear tales of unexplained phenomena, drained bodies, and why the attic has remained sealed for centuries. It’s a beautiful facade—hiding some of New Orleans’ darkest secrets.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
French Quarter Ghost Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does French Quarter Ghost Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear Included cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does French Quarter Ghost Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear Included take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.
Is French Quarter Ghost Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule French Quarter Ghost Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear Included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is French Quarter Ghost Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear Included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book French Quarter Ghost Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear Included?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does French Quarter Ghost Tour with Ghost Hunting Gear Included start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Orleans?
+
New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost Walking Tour, New Orleans Garden District History Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Orleans?
+
February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Orleans?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
