what_is_included: * Visuals of the real people and time periods 🖼

• A polaroid keepsake of your group 📸

• The most jaw-dropping and epic stories in New Orleans history,
  🤺 with all the scandals and hilarious bits included! 🤣
  what_is_not_included: Drinks are available for purchase at tour start and mid-tour bar break.
  itinerary: Your tour is personalized for you, and includes your requests! Typical stops include:

Muriel's restaurant: Called the most haunted restaurant in the world's most haunted city.

Hotel Pontchartrain: a hospital now haunted by the dead, and their mourners.

The Ax Man of New Orleans: A real serial killer. A fake hotel. False arrests, jazz music, a newborn baby, and a German spy? It's a true story that's truly a big mess!

**St. Germain: A vampire legend that ties a New Orleans killing to a mysterious Transylvanian Prince and self-proclaimed immortal, 200 years earlier. A story part truth, part fiction, like the man himself.

The LaLaurie Mansion: the true story of a New Orleans serial killer, hiding in plain sight within the evils of slavery. *While we do feel there is importance to folks knowing about this tragic history, we're also aware many guests do not wish to experience traumatic content related to slavery and can leave it off the tour at your request.

Marie Laveaux & Voudou: not the myths you might hear on some haunted tours, but real New Orleans history of a real religion with ~60 million followers today.
