About This Haunted Tour Comparison Site
This site compares bookable haunted tours in New Orleans (see Most Haunted Cemetery). Every rating, review count, duration and operator name matches the tour's own booking page, and no price is invented where a listing keeps it off the card.
Why This Site Exists
neworleanshaunted.tours exists because picking a night walk in New Orleans, Louisiana should not mean opening a dozen tabs. Fourteen bookable tours sit in the comparison: four walking ghost tours, four cemetery and voodoo tours, two vampire walks, two haunted pub crawls and two bus tours, each listed with its rating, review count, duration and operator. The site operates none of them. There is no booking form here and no money changes hands on these pages; reservations happen on the live listing, and the commercial arrangement behind this site is set out at /disclosure/.
Stories Vs. History
The history underneath these tours is real. New Orleans' colonial-era architecture and above-ground burial practices are documented facts, and the routes pass places with genuine pasts: the French Quarter, St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 and No. 3, and the Garden District. The haunting, voodoo and vampire stories belong to each operator's own tour narrative, and this site treats them as storytelling rather than established fact. So are New Orleans ghost stories real? The streets and cemeteries are documented; the hauntings are the guides' craft.
How The Figures Are Gathered
Prices on this site are per-person starting prices, and they change with the season and options, so the live booking page is the authority. Ratings and review totals appear exactly as published, never rounded in either direction. Where a listing withholds a price, no figure is invented here; the listing is the reference. A tour with 79 reviews shows 79, and the 4,684 reviews behind the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Official Walking Tour appear in full, because trimming large counts or padding small ones would mislead either way.
How We Treat The Data
This site works as a comparison desk rather than a travel diary. No tour here is described from firsthand experience, and nobody behind the page claims to have walked every route in the city. Durations, operators, cancellation terms and prices are taken from each tour's live booking page, since those details shift with the season and with the operator. City background, from the French Quarter's documented hauntings to the above-ground cemeteries, is checked against official sources instead of tour marketing copy. Rankings and wording stay independent of what any operator pays.
Five Ways To Meet The City's Ghosts
- Walking ghost tours (4 listings): on-foot routes of roughly 1.5 to 2 hours through the French Quarter, two of them with a stop inside a haunted location. Tour Orleans, The Witches Brew Tour Company, New Orleans Ghost Adventures and Haunted History Tours run the four, and every listing allows free cancellation.
- Cemetery and voodoo tours (4 listings): guided visits to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 and No. 3, running 45 minutes to 2 hours. St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 closed to unguided walk-ins in 2015, and access now runs through licensed operators only.
- Vampire tours (2 listings): both walks come from French Quarter Phantoms, one listed under French Quarter Phantoms LLC, and each covers vampire lore in the French Quarter over 2 hours.
- Haunted pub crawls (2 listings): bar-hopping routes through the French Quarter's historic drinking spots, run by New Orleans Ghost Adventures and Big Easy Walking Tours, both around 2 hours and adults only.
- Ghost bus tours (2 listings): Tour Orleans runs a cemetery bus tour after dark, and New Orleans Native Tours covers the city and cemeteries by day, with running times of 2 hours and 2 hours 15 minutes respectively.
The Tours By The Numbers
Ratings cluster tightly in this lineup. The St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Official Walking Tour carries the deepest review base, a 4.5 rating across 4684 reviews, while the St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 Walking Tour posts a perfect 5 on 479 reviews. Walking ghost and cemetery tours account for eight of the 14 listings. Bus tours run 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes, and every pub crawl lasts 2 hours. Free cancellation applies across the board. Prices move with dates and group size, so each card links to the live listing for the current figure (see Tour Prices).
