Book this tour of the French Quarter! - My daughter found this tour in a visit in 2023 - we loved it! I booked for last week when my boyfriend and I visited NOLA. Highly recommend this tour with Malika- she has an in-depth knowledge of the history of New Orleans and continues to research this city, sharing her knowledge. She is a terrific story teller!

Must do tour of French Quarter! - This was the second time doing The Blackest Ghost Tour with Malika and it was just as interesting second time around! The first time was in 2023 with my daughter and friend; this time was with bf. Small tour loaded with history. I particularly liked learning about Vodou. Malika is great at overlaying history with the ghost tour. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the most haunted areas of French Quarter + glean an understanding of NOLA with a non-whitewashed lens.

Informative, Fun and Spooky Tour with Good Vibes - What a fun way to learn history and get a little spooky on a night out in New Orleans! The context given by the tour guide is what created a true learning experience that did not feel exploitative nor voyeuristic. The guide was super smart and funny and quickly made the group feel at ease. I recommend this tour!

Engaging, contemporary and fun - This was the best tour I’ve taken in the American south, and one of the most enjoyable educational sessions I’ve had the pleasure of participating in. Malika is a scholar, artist (and more) who gives insightful, factual and fun contemporary tours. I wish they’d open a tour branch where I live in Richmond Virginia. We need it.

Amazing experience! - Incredible tour, our host was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and this was one of the most interesting experiences I had in NoLa! A way to hear about the not-so-talked-about parts of the city, while also getting PROPERLY creeped out!

Incredible ghost tour - Malika is an amazing storyteller with so much knowledge and we were completely captivated from beginning to end. Learnt so much about the history and culture of New Orleans with lots of spookiness on the way. Highly recommend this tour to hear the entertaining, terrifying and tragic ghost stories of New Orleans told with great care.

The dead have tales; history is more interesting than fan fiction - Learned about the tour from a Condé Nast article and sprinted to book tickets. The amount of research that Malika brought was impressive. Sharing both lore and truth, she weaved in storytelling and humor. With a small group, it felt more like a personalized tour. I appreciated being able to hear and ask questions. Don’t shortchange yourself into only hearing the revised, fantasy narratives of New Orleans, make sure to check out this tour and the others they offer.
