Select participants and date
You step out of the humid evening and into a street that remembers. The French Quarter’s gaslamps throw long shadows across cobblestones as your guide—part historian, part practitioner—leads the group between barred windows and shuttered courtyards. Laughter, the rattle of a streetcar in the distance and, if you listen, the city’s darker heartbeat: stories of murder, occult rites and ruined fortunes that cling to doorways like ivy.

Adventure Tips
Bring valid photo ID
You’ll be served alcohol at multiple stops; bars will check ID—no ID, no drinks.
Wear flat, sturdy shoes
Cobblestones and narrow sidewalks make comfortable, grippy footwear important for three hours of walking.
Pace your drinking and hydrate
Alcohol and walking for three hours can be dehydrating—alternate water with spirits and bring a small water bottle.
Respect sensitive stories
The tour covers real violence and traumatic events—keep an open mind and follow the guide’s cues when discussing sensitive topics.
