Stella was great! As a historian, I loved that she was very truthful of where the histories came from and always told us about sources she had for the stories. It was a great tour!

We had a great experience with Gino as our guide. Our tour started off right before sunset and finished in the dark. Seeing the French Quarter at twilight is always a bit magical. We all enjoyed the stories Gino told especially when they involved a personal touch with a friend or associate of Gino's being part of the haunt. Adding to the "this is a ghost tour from a local" vibe, Gino seemed to know just about everyone in the French Quarter. At least one person every few blocks had a friendly exchange with him. We'll be back for another tour next time we're in town!

My wife and I did the Dark History tour and were lucky enough to have a private tour with Stella. She was amazing. We had a wonderful walk around the quarter while she shared her extensive knowledge. We took a ghost tour with a different company the night before, and while many names and locations were thrown around during that tour, it didn't feel like we got enough of the story. Stella absolutely gave us much more of a deep dive into so much history.

Were recently in NOLA and signed up with for Jonathan for a vampire tour. The day we requested is not a normal day for him, but he made an exception for a private tour for just four of us. Rose was our tour guide and had so much energy and knowledge she made the time fly. As we walked through the town you could see numerous other tours happening, but none seem as engaging as this one. Before our tour, Jonathan also recommended going to the vampire Café to set the tone for it. The tour ended at an incredible hidden speakeasy on the second floor. Rose sat with us for another 30 minutes and just told us stories and answered all her questions. Highly recommend.
