Unique Tour Well Worth Experiencing
Chris was very knowledgeable. But even better, he made the ghost encounter fun. My fiancé had an experience with something touching his foot when everyone else had stepped away in one of the rooms at the Andrew Jackson Hotel. I enjoyed that we actually went in the places we visited. We seemed to communicate with 3 ghosts at the other house we went in via the equipment we used. It was a very different and interesting experience compared to other tours I have been on.

Absolute Scam!!!!
I booked this tour to do with my parents while we were here on vacation and we arrived at the designated meeting spot 15 minutes early and stayed an extra hour PAST the meeting time thinking maybe our tour guide was just running late. No tour happened! We reached out to the phone number they gave us on our booking confirmation to see if maybe it was cancelled or if something came up. We did not receive any calls/texts/or emails about a cancellation so we were very confused. We’ve all tried reaching out to the tour guide for a refund and they don’t answer our calls or messages! Total rip off, I would recommend booking with a different company.
Response from the operator: Reading this makes me curious were you drunk or something when you wrote this or when you should have been at the tour? Your accusations make zero sense. We actually called a meeting together with the owners and guides regarding this inconsistent review that you have written for multiple reasons. #1 we wanted to get to the bottom of whatever really happened with your story. At the end of the meeting we decided we would like to offer you a job as a storyteller 😂 since you can certainly spin a tale lol we just need to work on making your story make sense…. Did it ever occur to you that— you were possibly in the incorrect location thinking you were in the right spot? Or that you made a mistake regarding the date / time. Mistakes do happen sometimes. Guests will actually show up and check in for tours on the wrong days and swear they had their date correct until they stop for a moment and check their reservation. Mistakes happen and we are not perfect of course we all make mistakes… we are big enough to admit when we make mistakes on our end and will take the time to figure out what happened and if we did in fact make a mistake we will do our best to make it right. As for our guests we always want our guests to have the best experience so out of a gesture of goodwill we go the extra mile for our guests as well. ••••••• Who was this tour guide that you mentioned in the review? If you had no contact with us as you claim and I can attest you haven’t because I am the main person of contact rather it be phone calls, texts, emails. Unless you spoke to a 3rd party which I would not have any access to a 3rd party booking agents contact details… my question here is~~ how would you know who the tour guide was and the tour guides phone number? There is literally no way. There are countless tour guides in the city. The contact details on our website and 3rd party listings do not have any of our tour guides contact information or our tour guides schedules posted. This review is the first I’ve personally heard of any of this that you have mentioned and all correspondence goes thru me my name is Ashli. I opened the tour company in 2014 and since then we have grown to have a stellar reputation and have grown into a corporation that is still at the heart, a family owned and operated business. We take pride in what we do. Our reputation speaks for itself. Ashli Fisher Dustin & Ashli Fisher Owners / Operators

Interesting
Booked the evening paranormal tour. Coty was great. Highly recommend. Ask questions; he knows the answers..........
via Tripadvisor
And a Spooky Time Was Had By All
Coty was an awesome guide. He’s a local and is plugged in to the scene. I visit New Orleans often and he confirmed much of the stories I’ve heard and also gave lots of new info (even if he says it’s useless lol). He has good sense of humor and showed me and my acquaintances some very cool haunts and good spots to grab a bite. The EMF set this tour apart…I’m a paranormal enthusiast and that thing was going off! Def recommend this tour for anyone looking for spooky and informative fun. Thanks Coty!

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
New Orleans Paranormal Investigation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does New Orleans Paranormal Investigation cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 New Orleans Paranormal Investigation 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 New Orleans Paranormal Investigation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule New Orleans Paranormal Investigation?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is New Orleans Paranormal Investigation 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 New Orleans Paranormal Investigation?
+
Around 2 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 New Orleans Paranormal Investigation 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.
