Overview

We couldn't decide if we loved ghost stories or true crime stories more, so we decided to do them both! You can almost feel the history (and the spirits) as you walk through this 300 year old neighborhood and former Native American gathering place on the Mississippi River. THIS is the sacred ground where centuries of unforgettable, intense characters have lived, loved, fought, celebrated, made music, and taken their last breaths. Energy like that does not fade away; in fact, it intensifies when we tell their stories as we walk through their streets. We will share with you the stories of hauntings, murders, rituals, restless spirits, mischievous ghosts, and some things we just can't explain. Even skeptics love this tour, because everyone loves a good story! The tour is 1.5 - 2 hours and covers about a mile in the world-famous French Quarter. Come after dinner and end in time for a night out on the town!

Meeting points

Meet your guide in front of the large elementary school building at 727 St. Philip Street, between Royal and Bourbon. It is an elementary school, but it is currently closed. There is a coffeehouse and a bar on the same block if you need to get a refreshment before the tour.

End point

Tour ends at or near Jackson Square

Itinerary

  • French Quarter

    There are over 80 square blocks in the old district, and on every one of them there are so many stories of passion, loss, betrayal, yearning, exhilaration, hope, and mourning. Your guide will introduce you to the ghosts, spirits, and criminals in New Orleans' endlessly interesting past.

    30 minutes

  • Royal Street

    Royal Street, with its quaint architecture, art galleries, and mysterious antique-filled shops, is the perfect place to travel back in time to the days when pirates, wanderers, scandalous ladies, and dark hearts wandered the streets of this old neighborhood. Your guide will tell you the stories whose unforgettable characters may still linger behind the shutters and in the alleys and courtyards.

    30 minutes

  • Mississippi River

    The river was the gateway to New Orleans, the place where the restless types - artists, writers, immigrants, traders, adventurers - entered the city and thought, "Ahhhh, finally a place where I fit in" The water holds their stories, and your guide can coax them out and reveal the magic soul of New Orleans.

    30 minutes

  • Bourbon Street

    Some of the spookiest stories and most notorious murders have taken place on world-famous Bourbon Street. Your guide will reveal the spirits and stories hidden among the revelers and characters!

Fantastic tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide was so good. He has story telling skills and the stories he presented were fascinating and will be sending me down the rabbit hole on several of the tales he told. The pictures were my attempt to capture a picture of a spirit, but to no avail!

Great tour with lots of haunted history.

Published on Dec, 2024

Joshua was our tour guide and he was great! He was super knowledgeable and gave us so much information about the history of the french quarter. He didn’t miss anything and I felt like the way he explained everything was way more than I thought we would get. Would highly recommend!

much better than the Witches Brew tour (less expensive too!)

Published on Dec, 2024

Scott was the absolute best. By contrast, we attended a different tour 2 days previously with Witches Brew that was seriously awful despite costing almost twice as much (the guide swore at us and more than half of the group left that tour early), so the Lucky Bean tour was good by any measure and amazing by contrast. Scott knew far more background about all the sites we visited, sometimes would offer us choices for which historic event we wanted to know more about, was incredible about saying "the lore and rumors say this, but here's what we actually know" about everything, plus he was fun and personable to boot. I couldn't recommend this tour more highly.

Excellent tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

Scott was amazing! Our group had been burned by a truly awful tour with another company the night before, so we were a little wary. But we had already paid, and decided we would just make the best of it. Let me tell you, *we* didn't have to make the best of anything, because Scott did it for us. Very friendly, with great stories and lively delivery. If you're looking for a tour in NOLA, this is the one!

Best Tour in New Orleans

Published on Dec, 2024

Scott was an amazing tour guide. He did a great job of including legends, real history and ghost stories of New Orleans. He was well spoken and engaging in his storytelling. One of the best ghost and history tours I have ever experienced. This is a must do if you travel to New Orleans. My friends and I didn't want the night to end.
