    Fantastic time with Glen

    Glen was an absolutely fantastic host and has so much incredible historical knowledge of New Orleans. Was fun but also respectful of the real people involved in the legends. Fabulous tour

    Response from the operator: We want every guest to have this very same experience. Thank you for the shout out to Glen who enjoys his time with his guests.

    Okay Tour

    We went on the adult tour. The guide was okay. But just okay (I-couldn’t-remember-his-name okay). It was LONG—2 hours on a very warm, muggy night.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing. Although we don't have the guide's name we will share this with all guides. And yes, New Orleanscan be warm and muggy, but we still try to share our city's story.

    Val the top tour guide

    our tour guide was Val & she certainly knew her stuff. She answered all our questions about the ghosts & her knowledge of the local history was amazing.

    Response from the operator: What a nice review of the tour and Val. We will certainly share it with her.

    Great Tour but "Interactive is Questionable

    The tour guide was great. The QR codes given for the interactive aspect of the tour don't work with Android and don't work well with IOS. Even without the "interactive" aspect, the tour was still a great time. The guide really gave "flavor" to the spooky history of NOLA.

    Response from the operator: Delighted with your review. The creator of the Interactive aspect has been working on an application that functions better with Android. We are delighted that the guide added so much to the atmosphere.

    French Quarter Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.

    How much does French Quarter Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality cost?

    +

    Prices start at $27 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 Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours 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 Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 283 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 Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality?

    +

    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 Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book French Quarter Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality?

    +

    Around 99 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does French Quarter Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality 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 Garden District History Walking Tour, New Orleans Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost 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.

    What is included in French Quarter Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality?

    +

    Included: Take a photo with Marie Laveau and crackle in the Great Fire of 1788; Local guide; and Interactive augmented reality experiences. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for French Quarter Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality?

    +

    Gray Line Lighthouse Ticket Office (Toulouse Street @ the Mississippi River in the French Quarter) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is French Quarter Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for French Quarter Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is French Quarter Ghosts and Spirits Tour with Augmented Reality wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Alternate Routes: Due to uneven and narrow paths, alternate routes may be necessary for gu. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
