How a New Orleans ghost tour works

  1. 1

    Pick your night

    Ghost tours run after dark and the good ones sell out on weekends. Check the widget above for what is actually running while you are in New Orleans.

  2. 2

    Book with free cancellation

    Most of these can be cancelled up to 24 hours before, so booking early costs nothing and holding out costs you the good guide.

  3. 3

    Turn up where they say

    This one meets at Meeting point may vary depending on the option booked.

  4. 4

    Wear the right shoes

    You will be walking on old, uneven, badly lit ground for an hour or more. It is the advice every operator gives and most visitors ignore.

The 2015 rule

The city where the guide is not optional

A 2015 rule turned cemetery access into something you can only buy.

St Louis No. 1 requires a licensed guide

Since 1 March 2015 the Archdiocese of New Orleans has restricted St Louis Cemetery No. 1 to relatives and guides it licenses, after years of vandalism to the above-ground tombs. That is not an upsell - it is the only way most visitors get in. Louisiana residents with ID enter free, as does anyone on Good Friday, All Saints' Day or All Souls' Day. Everyone else buys a guide or looks through the gate.

Check which cemetery you are actually entering

Several tours sold as cemetery tours visit Lafayette No. 1 in the Garden District instead, which is open and free. That is a perfectly good afternoon and it is not what the licence buys. The listing says which; the difference is the entire product.

Voodoo is a religion, not a theme

New Orleans voodoo tours split hard between practitioners explaining a living faith and operators selling a horror set. The first kind is worth the money and the second is a ghost walk in costume. The honest signal is whether the operator names a practitioner rather than a character.

What a night here actually costs

New Orleans's 13 bookable tours start at $18.05 and run to $64, against a national ghost-tour median of $30 measured across 208 products. That entry price sits below the category 25th percentile of $25, which makes it genuinely cheap for a ghost tour rather than simply cheap. The distinction matters: a low price in a thin market usually means one operator with nobody to compete against, not a bargain. With 13 products competing, the field is deep enough that a weak tour struggles to survive on reviews alone, so the floor is higher than the price alone suggests. We feature the tour we can evidence: 3,187 verified reviews, quoted below in the guests' own words.

Kamille was such an engaging storyteller from beginning to end. She weaved together so much New Orleans history, lore, and legend! We were a diverse group - adults and young teens - and everyone felt included. She takes your interests and curiosity in consideration as well and can pivot to accommodate everyone. Wish I could give six stars - this was really the highlight of our trip.

Went with my three adult sons & husband. They were all skeptical but we left believing! Jeff was an excellent tour guide and really made our adventure! We even got a picture of that blew our minds! Sitting down after the tour and going through our pictures we found one of the spirit that walks around the Oddfellows cemetery! Like I said seeing made us believers! Highly recommend!

★★★★★
The sightseeing tour was really great. We really liked how Jhon did the whole tour. He was very patient with us, since we are native Spanish speakers, so there was a certain level of difficulty, but he made it very understandable for us. Jhon is very theatrical. We were very engaged with all the stories and understood him super well. He's very expressive and patient!
