Really enjoyed this 2 hour tour of the Garden District. Our guide, Erin, was funny and very knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions and shared many stories of growing up in the area. Highly recommend this tour.

Our Great tour guide Bob was very informative. He had a lot of knowledge about the history and had great vampires and ghost stories. Most of which I believe are very true. Actually facts. I will definitely be doing another tour with them when I return. Thanks for the great time

Erin was our tour guide for both the Ghost and Vampires and Cemetery tours. She is a wonderful tour guide and human being! She is equally enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We had such a great time with her on the Ghosts and Vampires tour that we immediately booked a Cemetery tour with her!FYI: The Cemetery Tour is about history and architecture, which is exactly what we wanted! It is not focused on the supernatural, so if you’re interested in the American Horror Story/Vampire Diaries stuff, check out the Ghosts and Vampire tour.I highly recommend taking both tours!

Awesome tour! Family friendly my sons were nervous, but the tour is so informational and balanced well with a strong creepy vibe! A definite must in New Orleans and hopefully you get blessed with Malika! Malika rocked the tour and is a gem to the city!

Tour Guide Lee was great, very personable, and very knowledgeable. He knew another of history. I over heard other tour guides and they were not as good as Lee. I enjoyed his quarky jokes and his liveliness. He even showed us the way back to the place we started and gave us a little history on the way back. Hes a very nice guy, you should request to be with him if hes available.

Because of limited tours offered, I chose the ghosts and vampires tour. Our tour guide, Luke, was very articulated and well versed with his information throughout my experience! He maintained a very professional stance regarding all local guidelines. He kept the participants interested in his storytelling and left plenty of room for comments and questions.By far my favorite touring experience, cannot wait to visit again for a cemetery tour!

We went on the cemetery tour. We couldnt do the normal tour because of covid, so they did the St. Patricks cemetery area instead. It was an excellent tour and our tour guide (Robert) was very informative and professional. He was very thorough and had my questions answered before I needed to ask. Highly recommend!

Miss Malika was our guide and she was amazing! Not only was the tour informative, but she indulged my curiosity in afro-centered religions such as hoodoo, odinani, santeria, etc. I was even suggested authors and reading material for my own personal studies. We will probably return, if covid-19 allows, for another good time.

We spend so much time in New Orleans, but had never taken a cemetery tour. We had a friend fly down to stay with us and she wanted to go, so we did. Great decision! We enjoyed our tour immensely. Our guide was very informative and interesting. (Unfortunately, none of us remember his name but he was a history teacher.) Leaving from The Voodoo Lounge was super convenient. I highly recommend this tour!

We went on the Saints & Sinners tour with Miss Malika and LOVED it! Mailka was extremely knowledgeable on the history of how New Orleans became the city it is today, and all of the information she provided was really interesting. The tour touched on a little of New Orleans’s history of voodoo, LGBTQ, and drinking & debauchery. This was hands down one of the best tours we went on in Nola, and it is highly recommended!!

On our first day of our first visit to New Orleans, my boyfriend and I decided to book two tours with French Quarter Phantoms. We had no idea what a fantastic choice we were making. We did the St. Louis #1 tour with Lee as our guide to start the day. He was hilarious, campy, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about New Orleans and its history. He made sure we saw the most well known grave sites and had stories for all of them, he even made sure, knowing how popular the voodoo queens site was to tell us her story before entering the cemetery so we got a full telling without being rushed. That night at 8PM we took the Ghost and Vampires tour with Bobby as our guide and had our heads blown off with horror and delight. This guy knows his s#*t! Hes one of the best story tellers Ive ever had the pleasure of listening to. He took his time, he was funny and engaging and knew how to tell the haunting tales of the city in a way that made us feel like we went right back in time. I cant stress enough what an amazing guide he was. He and Lee were both also happy to hang around for some extra time and give suggestions on where to go next, directions back to hotels or to chat with the tour members. Thank you so much for making our first day in New Orleans exactly the creepy, fun time we were looking for!

Our tour guide was Lee, and he was a phenomenal story teller. He regaled us with spooky stories about the Andrew Jackson Hotel, Sultan’s palace, the Lalaurie mansion and others and never missed a beat. It was such an interesting experience. Even if you’re a skeptic when it comes to the supernatural, the history behind these buildings is fascinating! Definitely worth the time! He also gave us wonderful recommendations of where to eat afterwards. So happy we decided to spring for this tour!

We did 3 tours with this company, first the Ghosts and Vampire tour with Lee, what a character, you can tell he is passionate about being a self described quarter rat. Very fun and entertaining tour.The second tour was the St. Louis Cemetery #1 tour with a very informative tour guide thats name has escaped me.Our 3rd tour was our favourite and that was the Saints and Sinners tour, our guide Justin was a wealth of knowledge with a clear passion for the history of this amazing city. He incorporated a lot of humour and candidness which made the tour very authentic. I would highly recommend doing any of these tours or all of them, you will not regret it.

Review №28

The tour itself was informative, energetic, and all questions got answered quickly and with a great attitude. Our guide Dartania (probably the only name I remember from the whole trip) kept things interesting and fast paced and did her utmost to accommodate for the fact that it was HOT. No cloud cover in a cemetery with really no shade or trees.This was the only official tour we tour the whole time we were in NOLA and as a whole I found it to be worth the time and money. You cannot enter St. Louis 1 without a licensed guide due to vandalism and I wanted to see the cemetery.She kept it fun, witty, and still crammed a ton of amazing information into the tour without anyone falling over from heat exhaustion. Truly an impressive feat.Pro Tip: Bring some shade and lots of water with you like the smart tour guides do if youre visiting during the summer months.

My mom was visiting from out of town and loves going to cemeteries - so I booked a tour while she was here - It was amazing! Our tour guide, Mary J. was spectacular. She was incredibly knowledgable, funny, and made the intricate history of New Orleans easy to follow and understand. It was super easy to buy tickets online and pick them up in Voodoo Lounge. We got to enjoy a cocktail while we walked to the cemetery and listened to the amazing Mary J. prep us for what we were about to see. In the cemetery Mary J. hit all of the highlights and answered our questions with so much information - it was great. Did I mention that Mary J. is an amazing tour guide? Ill be booking tours through this company whenever family or friends come to town who want to have a guided tour of the city! Thanks for being awesome yall.

Every tour and tour guy we had was absolutely awesome! The guides were very informative and funny. Dylan knew everything we needed to know about the garden district and much more! Luke’s ghost tour was also another fun tour. Got to see someOf the dark violent history of New Orleans the French quarter. It was definitely worth the goosebumps! Our 11am tour guide(1/22) for the cemetery tour was also very informative and funny. He had plenty info on all the different graves and traditions that are attached to each one. High recommend French Quarter Phantoms for your tours when in New Orleans!

We went on the cemetery tour and could not have been more intrigued. Mary J did an awesome job of explaining the history. She clearly loves to share her knowledge of New Orleans.

Review №33

I did the Cemetery #1 tour with a big group of friends. We all loved it and highly recommend. We had Malika as a tour guide and wow - Im glad we got matched to her! She was so knowledgeable about the history of the Cemetery and New Orleans in general. Her speaking style was awesome - attention-grabbing and not cheesey at all. The tour was about an hour and a half long but felt shorter because of how interesting it was. There is a 10 min break in the tour to use the restrooms and check out the gift shop. The cemetery itself is very sunny and hot - wear sunscreen, that was my only mistake. Wear stable shoes, as well - the ground in the cemetery is uneven (and you will learn all about why!) Malikas respect and passion for the subject was contagious. Thank you for a great experience!

Just had a great time on this tour whom I think his name was FRANK. But not real sure. His storytelling was very captivating and knowledgeable Along with a good dry sense of humor. He gave much food for thought when it came to the afterlife, letting our own minds to think of what we might believe. Walked around some very interesting parts of the city which you might not find on your own. It was a good time thanks.

I took two different tours with this business. The vampires and ghost tour was fun, spooky, and informative. I had a wonderful time thanks to the guide Dartanya. She was truly an amazing storyteller. The second tour we took was with Justin for the cemetery tour. He was very knowledgeable and excited to share as much as he could with us. Im really happy I chose french quarter phantoms as my guide to the city.

Review №36

The guide was great. He was a real big guy. I think his name was Bobby Thomas. He was funny and very knowledgeable. You wont see ghosts or be scared. Its more of a history or story telling tour. You walk through the French Quarter while being told stories. You meet at a bar and have to buy 2 drinks. The bar is not real great and the Hurricanes are terrible. The bartender tried to charge us double too. Lets hope it was an honest mistake.

We LOVE this tour company and have adventured all across New Orleans with them! Their tours are so rich with storytelling, history and heart...you end up feeling so much more connected to New Orleans when youre done. We love their variety of tours! Our faves have been the Ghost Tour & Cemetery Tour (with Hope...simply the best!) and recently we took the Music of New Orleans Tour with Malika (so informative and passionate) and I went straight home to look up all of the amazing music and history she shared with us. This company is the way to go for a truly remarkable New Orleans experience!

Review №38

The cemetery tour was very cool and educational. It was a chance to see a unique side of this unique city. The tour guide, Mary J, did a great job and we felt lucky to have her. We were able to book a morning tour right away on my phone, which really helped because our riverboat ride had been canceled on us and this was our last day in New Orleans. Planning to go back!Having said all that, one thing that really bothered us was the collapsed Hard Rock Hotel on Canal Street. Its a real shame that the city government and developers have not done their job months after the incident. To all the workers, stay safe!

Our tour guide was Hope. She was probably the best tour guide we could ask for. Her enthusiasm was contagious and her knowledge of the subject matter was impressive. It was an interesting tour, to be sure, but she really made the tour what it was.There was a very annoying drunk woman on the tour and Hope handled it like a pro. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this tour. I thought this was going to be an hour tour but it was several hours long and I could have easily hung on for another hour or two of this tour. Very good!

10/10 would recommend Robert aka Bobby as a tour guide. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, he’s got amazing energy he gives throughout the tour and comes in hot with the dad jokes. Even took time to answer a separate question I had after the cemetery tour and had me and my friends feeling like we had just booked him for a whole new tour- this guy KNOWS his stuff!

We took both the St. Louis Cemetery #1 tour and the Ghosts & Vampires tour on our recent trip to New Orleans. Both tours were very entertaining, informative and totally enjoyable. Robert was our Cemetery guide and he was very funny and knowledgeable. It was not just a dry and impersonal tour. Steven was our Ghost & Vampires guide. He was extremely passionate about the material he was presenting to us and did it in a way that kept us glued to his every word. We learned a lot along the tour and look forward to doing some more research on our own.

After visiting New Orleans several times, always for business and never being able to do anything touristy, I decided to do the St. Louis Cemetery tour. I had the pleasure of navigating the cemeterys grimly fascinating history from the incredible Mary J — for Jackson, if my memory serves me correct. She was absolutely remarkable and set the bar considerably high for future tours I embark on. The tour was informative, interactive, and all around complete fun!

Review №47

We enjoyed the St. Louis Cemetery #1 and the Saints and Sinners tours. Our tour guide, Hope (Gertrude for those that didn’t like the tour), was funny, resourceful and well informed. The only suggestion I would make is to incorporate more of the dark history of NO, from slavery to Katrina. NO is a resilient city and its people have lived the test of time and they’re still going. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

The tour begins at Voodoo lounge with 2 for 1 hurricanes available (Good start). Lee was our tour guide and he was absolutely incredible. He had the perfect blend of knowledge, humor and professionalism. He should audition for the History channel or something, honestly. I don’t think we saw any apparitions in the cemetery that day but we got a great tour. Highly recommend.

We did a two tours, the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 and the Garden District. Both were AMAZING! Highly recommend both of these. Robert was our guide for the Cemetery tour and he was great! Funny and knowledgeable. Very good storytelling and pointing out the little nooks and crannies you would not even notice just walking around let alone IN the cemetery where you can’t go in by yourself. Lee was the guide for Garden District and he was perfect for this one! Perfect personality for showing the out of towners the area and made sure to give us a good variety of places. Really enjoyed the added stories and jokes he had to really keep everyone engaged the whole time. Lots of photo opportunities throughout both tours too.

We had a wonderful tour of the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1!

The St. Louis #1 Cemetery Tour was amazing! Dylan was an awesome tour guide and so knowledgeable even beyond the original content of the tour.

Dylan was an excellent tour guide! Our first tour was at St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 where we got to see some of the most beautiful tombs, including those of Nicholas Cage and Marie Laveau, while Dylan eloquently explained the history of the cemetery & New Orleans in general. Our second tour was in the Garden District and we were ecstatic to see that Dylan would once again be our guide! With each tour they give you a wristband which is good for 2-for-1 drinks at the Voodoo Lounge! Excellent experience all around.

Our tour was amazing!!!! Our tour guide (Jason or Jeremy, I know it was a J....sorry dude,) was SO knowledgable and fun. He added lots of expression, jokes, enthusiasm and detail. We got a nice history of the French Quarter, descriptions and historical explanations of other areas before entering the cemetery.The actual cemetery tour was AMAZING! I clearly knew nothing about the whens and whys of this burial method and am in awe.We crossed paths with other tours and ours was BY FAR the best! Thank you so much!!

Hope was amazing! Very entertaining as well as informative, and kept up a great pace so we could see as much as we could, but without feeling rushed. And she did a great job of connecting with everyone on the tour even though I’m sure she meets hundreds of people a day. We went on both the St. Louis #1 Cemetery Tour and the Ghost & Vampire Tour and both were great. We had Hope both times and loved it!

We took two tours. Firstly we did the cemetery tour with Miss Hope. She was entertaining and knowledgeable. So on the back of that, we took the ghost tour in the evening with Miss Mary J.

Took two tours with French Quarter Phantoms, St Louis Cemetery and Ghost and Vampire, and they were AMAZING. The tour guides are so knowledgeable and personable and they make the tours a joy to take. Lee was our tour guide for the cemetery tour and he was so funny and also a great teacher about the history of NOLA as well as the cemetery architecture and history. He was so welcoming. Then we had Justin for our ghost and vampire tour. Justin was incredible. He made sure we were all safe while roaming the streets. He included the group in his story telling which we all loved. He told the stories in such a way that made us learn the facts and connect them to the stories he was telling us. He was super funny and knowledgeable and made sure we all had a good time. I definitely recommend you take their tours you will not regret them. Also get some hurricanes (2 for 1) before your tour to have a good time.

My husband and I took the garden district walking tour, and found it very worthwhile, even though Lafayette cemetery was closed due to renovations. Our guide, Erin, was entertaining and knowledgeable. We had walked through the Garden District on our own before, and even took the guided “hop on hop off” bus tour the day before, but we learned so much more from Erin! The small group made it easy to ask questions, and the pace was just right for both younger and older tourists.

Review №72

This was a great cemetery tour. I recommend this to anyone interested in cemeteries, New Orleans history, and Nicholas Cage. The tour starts at the Voodoo Lounge, you can skip the main bar and go directly to the back room where there is an office area, they ask for your name, give you a wristband and then you are off. We didnt skip the main bar. We each got a Hurricane, which were delicious, and they said they were buy 1 get 1 half off. The total was $12 for two. They could have been $6 each, dont care, they were good. You walk to the cemetery from the Voodoo Lounge and it is a nice leisurely walk. You will get a restroom break after the leisurely walk, before you go into the cemetery. This is St. Louis cemetery no. 1 and you can only see it through a guided tour. The cemetery is really unique, with the above ground graves, and is something to see. Lots of OLD graves, lots of history, the Voodoo queens grave is reputed to be here and the future resting spot of Nicholas Cage. Great, great fun.

My friend and I booked the St Louis cemetery with recommendations that came highly and it was delivered. Justin is an amazing tour guide who is very knowledgeable and entertaining. We even booked the ghost tour to do at the end of the day because we wanted more. We ran into Justin again on our second tour and he kept us entertained at one of our stops. Can’t recommend the French quarter phantoms or Justin enough. It was a highlight in our trip.

Robert T. Was a great route guide. The pace was good, he is a good story teller and is very knowable about NOLA history. I think he does a good job of reading the crowd in terms of how detailed to get with the grueling parts of the stories. I personally could have done without the bar stop in the middle of the tour, only because there was no story with the bar. Guess it was good for those who needed to use the restroom. Robert also gave us a great recommendation for dinner at the end of the tour.

One of my favorite cities to visit is New Orleans.The food, the people, the vibe is just so different from my home city (DC). So when my wife asked if I was interested in doing a Treme tour I was all for it. We arrived at the location for our 10:30 tour and it started promptly. Off the bat I knew that I was going dislike the tour. Our tour guide Evian gave us instructions on how to stand on the sidewalk. He explained that people may need to walk by so we needed to stand in a way to let people pass. Give me a break, were all adults. More than that, we stood right outside of the touring office for about 15-20 min listening to Evian talking about nothing outside of telling us that the tour would take approximately 2 hours. As we began the tour and walked across the street, I immediately knew why, Evian is extremely long winded. His commentary was all over the place! If the tour was a true walking tour, this tour should have taken no longer than an hour to an hour and a half. We ended up touring for 2 hours and 35 min. I really wish that I could reclaim my time.

STEVE! Our tour guide was awesome. So full of knowledge, got the group involved, was able to make it hilarious while still keeping the jokes within the context of the part of the tour we were on. It is so refreshing to have a guide who truly has a passion for telling these stories, and deep rooted love for this amazing city. The price of the tour was great, the staff in the bar/reception area were great, and again, Steve our guide was great. Made everyone feel like a old friend, had a genuine smile on his face the whole time, has a ton of knowledge about the area. We will be back for more tours, and will request Steve again.

Go Ducky!They will not let me do 2 reviews, so I am adding to this one. Pirate Sam is also amazing. He knows so much about the people and places of the Garden district plus the inhabitants and culture of the cemetery.. I went back to the hotel to look things up.Highly recommend both tours.

We selected this tour company purely based on a street car ad. We were overwhelmed by all the options out there and decided to go with it. We went on a Ghost tour on Friday with Hope and then promptly signed up for a Cemetery Tour on Sunday with Dylan. Best $34 ($17 for each tour) I spent our whole trip in new orleans. These tours were so much fun and I learned do much. The tour guides were super engaging and knowledgeable about the topics. Dylan would go out of his way to share extra knowledge or facts if you were interested. During the 10 minute bathroom break we were looking at one of the paintings in the visitor building and Dylan came over to tell us about it and was so excited and enthusiastic to do so. The tours were well planned and orghanized overall and the guides did a great job with timing, projecting their voices, and being curtious to other groups and pedestrians. Definitely book a tour with this group on your trip! Make sure you get a drink for the Ghost Tour :)

Took both the cemetery and ghosts/vampires tours and have to say both completely exceeded expectations. Erin and Angela were both excellent guides. This isn’t like some companies that just tell you tall tales and attempt to scare you, they make sure to be extremely accurate factually while maintaining the entertainment factor. I wouldn’t use any other company for a tour of New Orleans.

Went on the Vampire and Ghost Tour on 12/30/19. We had an amazing guide, Mike. He was knowledgeable and able to share that information in an entertaining way. It was the perfect mix of fact, folklore and entertainment. We will definitely be back!

We took the Sunday morning tour of St. Louis No. 1 and had a great experience. Our tour guide was Justin; he gave us some history on the city of New Orleans and told us some great stories about the occupants of the cemetery. This cemetery houses the remains of the famous Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, as well as Homer Plessy, Bernard de Marigny, and Ernest N. Morial. Justin also talked to us about the Protestant section that is off to the side of the cemetery; you are literally standing on top of graves in this section and its definitely an interesting feeling!Our tour lasted about 2 hours with a 10 minute break at the Basin St. Visitor Center in the middle. Obviously its a walking tour, so wear comfortable shoes, but its not a strenuous walk and the tour guide pauses every couple of minutes to chat with the group. French Quarter Phantoms also offers other tours and we definitely plan to take another with them when we return to New Orleans in the future.

Great guides we took the Ghost and Vampire tour with Avian and it was terrific! You can tell that Avian did the reasearch and is very proud of the city. We enjoyed it so much we also booked the Cemetary tour the next day and it was just as good. Robert was very informative and just as proud of the history as well. I highly recommend this company for the tours I dont feel you can get anyone better! Again a big THANKS to Avian and Robert for making our anniversary vacation the best and to French Quarter Phantoms keep up the great work you are doing in my opinion you are the BEST! I did also rate and comment for the company on Yelp and Trip Advisor.Thanks again, Carrie Browell from Illinois.

I had such a good time on my first tour (Ghosts & Vampires) with French Quarter Phantoms that I went back for a second (Sinners and Saints) with the same tour guide - Evian is his name if you can get him! Hes absolutely incredible. Other people have noted that the tours are an amazing walk through history and legend, and its all tied together by a captivating storyteller with a wide base of knowledge and the answer to any question I could think of. The stories left such a mark that I found myself repeating them to friends over the course of the next few days (though not as good as Evian would have Im sure!)

I did two separate tours with this company and they were both absolutely amazing. The guide, Evian, was incredibly fun and informative. He was able to answer all questions and went above and beyond to ensure that no one had any questions and were satisfied before moving onto the next portion of the tour. This company has a little waiting area attached to the Voodoo Lounge and is super comfy and air conditioned and a great place to wait for the tour to begin. They also offer 2 for 1 Hurricanes at the attached bar but those arent worth it.

We had an excellent time visiting St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 with French Quarter Phantoms during our recent trip to NOLA! Our guide was detailed, informed, entertaining and paced our tour very well. We were particularly impressed with how inclusive he was of diverse perspectives (POC, Indigenous People of America, Women, etc.) in his narrative. That was very appreciated!

This was an awesome tour. I took my 8 year old and she was super entertained and engaged. Justin was our tour guide. He was funny, knowledgeable and patient with my daughter and answered all of her questions. Be sure to wear sunblock!
