    The most sanitized ghost tour in New Orleans

    Honestly, pretty disappointing. I booked a ghost tour in New Orleans because I wanted to hear the creepy, dark, and uncomfortable stories that come with the city’s history, but our guide kept refusing to actually tell them. When we got to Zach and Addie, she basically said, “I knew people who knew them, so I won’t do that.” Then with Madame LaLaurie, she said she didn’t like telling the story because it “sensationalizes the enslaved people’s pain.” I understand wanting to be respectful, but it’s a ghost tour. Obviously a lot of these stories involve horrible things that happened to real people. There’s a way to tell those stories respectfully without just skipping them. It got frustrating because it felt like every time we got to one of the stories I was actually interested in hearing, we got an explanation for why she wasn’t going to tell it. I didn’t book a ghost tour to have the dark parts of New Orleans history sanitized. I booked it because I wanted to hear them.

    Response from the operator: We’re sorry the tour fell short of your expectations. You’re right that difficult history can be told respectfully while still giving guests the stories they came to hear. Thank you for explaining where the experience disappointed you. Please contact us with your booking details so we can look into this directly.

    New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $38 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 Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.8 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 Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 13,856 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 New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire 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 New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 4,850 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 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does New Orleans Premier Ghost, Voodoo and Vampire 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 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.
