Fun and informative, but did not see any ghosts! - Enjoyedthe information provided by Jim (with one M). Did not see a ghost, though! The description of the daughter's death from Yellow Fever was particularly harrowing to me, as my Great Great Grandparents also died from yellow fever in Florida.

Fun and historicl - The spirits were very active when using the witching sticks which made the experience even more memorable. Trish was awesome and very informative! My sister and I had a great time! Trish provided information, such as the slave revolt of 1811, we’d never heard about. I highly recommend this tour!!

Great small group experience! - Stephanie is so knowledgeable. I love the intimacy of getting to know the people that influenced the space. She doesn't shy away from the tragedies that happened there and invites you to speak to the spirits that roam on the place. It's not often you get into the house at night and it was a unique experience of a lifetime. If you believe in spirits, this experience is for you. If you're an unbeliever, this will make a believer out of you.

Informative - The tour guide was very informative. Gave a lot of history information. Stephanie was funny and provided the facts of the history about the slaves and how they were treated and how they lived and died. I was i skeptical about the spirit activity, but we able to see some sprit activity after all.. over all was amazing

A fun informative tour - The guides were vary friendly and they did a great job of explaining the history and providing a tour of the house. The grounds were beautiful at night. Plenty of ghost stories and pictures were shared making it an all around fun experience. I do believe they pushed the paranormal stuff a little over the top though. I don't believe in ghosts so I found all the shenanigans pretty silly. With that said I think the tour was fun and worth it from a historical stand point. But don't be gullable and expect to see a ghost or have any paranormal experience.

An OK tour. - Tour ran late because we had to change vans half way which made the tour finish an hour later than advertised which affected our evening plans back in the French quarter. The tour guide said she had all sorts of paranormal gear for us to try when in fact she had one instrument. It was a very interesting tour, not sure the night aspect added much to it, to be fair.

No ghost hunting on the ghost tour. - This tour is not what is advertised or what was explained to me over the phone when I called and asked about it. And - not even how the guide explained it. Save your money. First we were 15 minutes late to leave the meeting point even though the bus was parked there, the guide and driver was there and everyone was checked in. The bus smelled like mold, the air conditioner didn’t work properly (bus was warm), and I really think they need to check the suspension or the driver shouldn’t hit potholes going 30plus mph. On the bus the guide explains that “this tour is not like the history tour of this plantation. You can take that during the day. We will be ghost hunting and talking about ghosts”. But, we got a history tour with long stops in each room, just standing listening to the guide. The ghost hunting part - she had a sensor she would put on a piece of furniture that would occasionally light up if a spirit was there. Not spooky, boring. After the history lesson of the house we went outside and to the kitchen. She finally pulled out the dousing rods and told us how to use them. We went ghost hunting outside in the heat for 15 minutes until heading back to the bus. When I called and asked about the tour the company told me we (the people) were going to use the equipment in the house. Nope! Very disappointing and upset. Also the guide kept us in the gift shop for quite a while before the tour. I thought that was cheesy. So no using the ghost equipment in the house and only 15 minutes outside. I wish I could rate this tour a zero.
