Full description

This historic neighborhood conceals a tapestry of stories, where love, tragedy, and the supernatural intermingle.

Sample Itinerary:

Omni Royal Orleans Hotel: Learn the harrowing true-crime story that rocked the city of New Orleans to its core.
900 Royal Street: Hear the bizarre true story behind the cast iron spikes on balcony poles along 900 Royal Street, and the unfortunate turn of events that led to the death of one amorous young man back in the late 19th century.
LaLaurie Mansion: Get acquainted with a certain Madame Delphine MacCarthy LaLaurie. Once a respected member of New Orleans high society, LaLaurie has gone down as one of the most brutal killers the city has ever seen.
Old Ursuline Convent: One of the most mysterious and alluring sites in the whole French Quarter.
Beauregard-Keyes House: Cross the street from the convent to the Beauregard-Keyes House, and keep watch for Caroline – the house’s resident cat. She may nuzzle against your leg or stop to lick a paw, but the bell round her neck will make no sound. Listening to your guide here at the house, you’ll realize she’s far from alone...
Bourbon Orleans Hotel: Stop here at the rebuilt Bourbon Orleans Hotel and learn of the tragedy that unfolded back in 1854, when screams of terror rang out as the iron rods supporting the upper gallery gave way, and half the building folded like a deck of cards.
Père Antoine Alley: Stroll down Père Antoine Alley, beneath the elegant St. Louis Cathedral, and learn of Père Antoine – a key figure in New Orleans’ Catholic history. This beloved old parish priest cared deeply for his congregation – so deeply, in fact, that even in death his spirit is still said to make the walk between the alley and the cathedral.
Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop: Visit the legendary New Orleans dive bar Lafitte’s, where tales of smuggling, privateering, and hauntings have been circulating since the early 19th century.
Jackson Square: Look out over Saint Louis Cathedral as neighborhood artists, street performers, and psychics entertain the crowds, and discover remains of the old city in the historic Place d’Armes Hotel – one of New Orleans’ most haunted hotels.
