Highly recommend - Great experience! It’s one of my bucket list items in NOLA. It went into the history of New Orleans and the reasons on why these locations are haunted. Our tour guide was great. At one point another tour guide was rude and made a comment about being too close to her and he handled it respectfully. Highly recommend!!!

Would Recommend this Tour - Raffle is a Great Guide - Raffle was our tour guide and he was awesome! He is a French Quarter local and he knows EVERYTHING about its history. He had a great sense of humor and he stayed and spoke to my family and me well after the tour ended. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in hearing several ghost stories that are common to the French Quarter, but have been embellished for a variety of reasons. Thanks for the dinner recommendation, Raffle - it was incredible!

Great Ghost Tour w/Raffle - After a hard time finding the meeting point and a sketchy meal, had a fantastic, informative tour with our guide Raffle. He was engaging, experienced, professional, kind (lent his umbrella to one of the participants) and had interesting stories at every stop and along the route. Highly recommend this tour to get a good flavor of French Quarter history, or any of the tours Raffle is guiding.

Haunted Walking Tour - My group and I throughly enjoyed our haunted walking tour of the French Quarter. Raffle was an amazing tour guide! Warm, welcoming, and comedic, he gave us all the details and spooky history of NOLA in a fun and entertaining manner. Loved the recommendations and personal stories he shared. Would recommend Raffle for ANY tour moving forward.

Carlo was great! - I really really enjoyed Carlo’s personality and how genuine he is. You can tell that he really knows his stuff and that he has a passion for history. My main critique is I think the tour didn’t align with the description. It was more history than scary ghost stories. I also give caution to whoever books this tour- you cannot control who goes on this tour and we had both kids whose parents weren’t keeping them from being rude and people who didn’t follow the only 2 rules that Carlo gave. That was out of Carlo’s control though. My favorite part of the tour was after Carlo finished the tour and we got to speak with him, personally.

Must do, if you want to learn more about the French Quarter - The tour was informative but our tour guide would mess up on his information and would have to go back and reiterate what was said. Which would get confusing at times. But besides that was a nice little walking tour.
