Ghost and vampire tour of New Orleans
Follow the dots on the map. You will need to start at the beginning building and follow the directions the narrator tells you to follow.

Fun times
It was perfect for our little group. It was easy to follow and had fun stories. It was the perfect length for my family to do at our own pace.
via Tripadvisor
Just okay.
Just okay. Stories were superficial and not terribly engaging. We had done other of their walking tours (Natchez) and that was much better.

Perfectly woven ghost meets THE BIG EASY
I Loved this history of the buildings while weaving the ghost and vampire stories into it. Was thrilling and educational.

Excellent Choice
This is a self-guided tour throughout the French Quarter. I read reviews where people said the app didn't work for them, but for $7 I was willing to take the risk. Not only did it work well, it had some pretty cool features like an EMF detector, which my daughter used the whole time! She had so much fun using it. She felt like she was ghost hunting. The map was helpful and the app allowed me to pause the audio tour to stop and take pictures. We got to go at our own pace. I really enjoyed it. There were a ton of ghost tours walking around and stopping at the same places as us. I felt safe and enjoyed learning a bit of New Orleans history. I would recommend this if you want to hear the ghost stories without paying $20-$30 a person.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ghosts of New Orleans: Self-Guided Haunted Audio Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Ghosts of New Orleans: Self-Guided Haunted Audio Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $7 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 Ghosts of New Orleans: Self-Guided Haunted Audio Walking Tour 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 Ghosts of New Orleans: Self-Guided Haunted Audio Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 34 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 Ghosts of New Orleans: Self-Guided Haunted Audio Walking Tour?
+
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 Ghosts of New Orleans: Self-Guided Haunted Audio Walking Tour 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 Ghosts of New Orleans: Self-Guided Haunted Audio Walking Tour?
+
Around 12 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 Ghosts of New Orleans: Self-Guided Haunted Audio Walking Tour 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 Swamp Tour Boat Adventure, New Orleans Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat 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.
