The ghosts of the past haunt the streets of the French Quarter. On our dark history walking tour, you'll hear tales of vampires, pirates, hauntings and horrors. We'll take you to the most haunted spots in the French Quarter, where you can feel the eerie presence of the ghosts of another world. A careful blend of real New Orleans history and distinctive humor culminate in a brutally fun experience with an expert storyteller. Torture, bloodthirsty vampires, dueling, beastly entertainment, sweaty brothels and all-out savage stories. We hold nothing back. Weird history, wild stories, wicked humor.
