About this experience
Step into the shadows of New Orleans with a private ghost tour rooted in lived history, not legend for legend’s sake. This private tour is built on stories passed down through generations of documented accounts. With over 300 years of history, New Orleans holds a deep and complex relationship with death, memory, and what lingers beyond. These are not recycled tales or debunked myths. This is a collection of firsthand accounts, family stories, and carefully preserved history shared by those connected to it. Without the burden of a large public group, you have the space to walk, listen, ask questions, and to follow the stories that stay with you. Choose your preferred start time for a seamlessly private experience. Optional enhancements and extended storytelling elements can be added to deepen your tour. After your experience, we will send you some extra stories and pics so the night does not end when the tour does. Bring your camera. Some guests leave with more than just memories.

What you'll see and do
French Quarter
Behind the music and candlelight, the streets hold centuries of lives that never fully moved on. Fires, fever, violence, and whispered secrets settled into the walls, and some of them still stir after dark.
60 minutes here
Jackson Square
Once the site of public executions and restless gatherings, the square has witnessed moments that never quite settled. As night falls, footsteps echo where no one walks, and figures have been seen lingering along the edges of the Cabildo and the cathedral, watching as if they never truly left.
15 minutes here
Old Ursuline Convent Museum
Built in the early 1700s, its walls have watched over generations of young women, devotion, and whispered stories. There are long-held tales of sealed doors, unexplained presences, and something that arrived in New Orleans and was never meant to be released.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
Lalaurie Mansion
This mansion does not need embellishment. Its history is enough. Behind those elegant walls, cruelty unfolded in ways that shocked even a city accustomed to darkness. When the truth came to light, it left a stain that has never fully faded. Neighbors once swore they heard screams long after the house fell silent. Some say that something restless still lingers inside, unable or unwilling to be forgotten.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
Haunted Houses
You do not enter these houses but you do stand before them as we tell you stories of those who haunt there. We are the only tour company that able to tell the stories from the actual journals and diaries of those who live them.

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Ghosts of the French Quarter Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Private Ghosts of the French Quarter Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $600 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 Private Ghosts of the French Quarter Walking Tour 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 Private Ghosts of the French Quarter Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Ghosts of the French Quarter 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 Private Ghosts of the French Quarter Walking Tour 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 Private Ghosts of the French Quarter Walking Tour?
+
Around 0 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 Private Ghosts of the French Quarter 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.
