Must do!
Our tour guide was fantastic! You could tell he definitely loves NOLA and the history of the city!

Spooky good time
My tour guide Tara was very friendly and knowledgeable. I learned a lot and got to cross off some spooky sights from my list.

Don’t waste your time
I don’t know what I was expecting…obviously we weren’t going to see any ghosts or vampires, but there were like 25 people on our walking tour and the tour guide took us to a couple locations in an hour, where he pointed out balconies and demonstrated how to clear the path for ongoing traffic. He had no mic, no costume…which is fine but at least some sort of attire would have been cool instead of a loose tank top. We left the group tour and hit up the vampire cafe and had an amazing vampire tour for ourselves😂 Also the 2 for 1 hurricane deal with your ticket? Yeah that’s an ongoing deal for anybody. The positive of this review…I respect their hustle.

It’s not what I expected....
It’s not what I expected. I thought I would learn more about New Orleans and I didn’t get the historical context of the sites we went to..the group should have been smaller as I could barely hear the tour guide

Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter cost?
+
Prices start at $21 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 Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter 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 Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 2,557 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter?
+
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 Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter 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 Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter?
+
Around 895 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 Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter 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.
What is included in Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter?
+
Included: Local guide; and Local taxes. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Ghost and Vampire Walking Tour Of The French Quarter?
+
Voodoo Lounge Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

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

+
