Full description
Catch sight of spirits and tantalize yourself with tales of witchcraft during a walking tour of New Orleans. Travel to several of the city's venerated neighborhoods, soaking up stories about the witches, ghosts, vampires, and Voodoo practitioners who have contributed to the city's colorful past.
Meet your local guide and set off on a journey through the dark recesses of New Orleans’ haunted history. Your 2‐hour tour winds through the French Quarter, passing creepy sites such as Muriel’s Restaurant and the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum, known for its questionable medical practices in the 19th century such as bloodletting and leeching.
See the St. Germain House, former home of rumored vampire Jacques Saint Germain, and hear bloodcurdling tales of LaLaurie House and its wicked mistress Madame LaLaurie.
