About
A walking tour of no more than 12 guests. We’ll get to know each other at the top of the tour--where everybody is from, what other tours they’ve been on, interests, and such. I will customize a walk to include everyone’s interests, ghostly, morbid, or historical. Once underway, we will walk about 1.25 miles (2 km) along the sidewalks of the French Quarter. It won’t be like a death march -- there will be plenty of stopping as I share the stories of the homes, businesses, galleries, and alleyways along the way. Sometimes we’ll even make it to the banks of the mighty Mississippi. Along this walk I will share legends of ghosts, werewolves, vampires, Voodoo, witchcraft, pirates, serial killers, and whatever else comes to mind. I'll sneak in some history, architecture, and such -- you won't even know it happened. There will be a bar break halfway through the tour, and a family friendly option too. We will end up back or near where we started.
What else you should know
You're in New Orleans, and I highly recommend making some poor life choices while you're here -- I'm not judging. But please avoid getting too 'lit' prior to this or any tour...maybe just a buzz. :-)
What to bring

- A cocktail
- Try to find a bathroom before you arrive. There will be a break halfway through the tour
- Please try to arrive 15 mins. prior to departure time
