Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for young kids? My daughter is 10 and loves ghosts!

A: Yes, this tour can be great for kids! It’s mostly walking and telling stories, but I’d recommend checking with the guide about some of the subject matter, just to make sure it's age-appropriate for your daughter. The guide is really good at engaging younger audiences, and kids usually love the spooky bits. Just bring some water and wear comfy shoes!

Q: What if it rains? Will the tour still happen?

A: The tour usually goes on rain or shine! However, if the weather is really bad, they might offer a reschedule option. I'd recommend checking the forecast before you go and maybe bringing a poncho. It can add to the haunting vibe!

Q: What kind of shoes should we wear for this tour? Is it a lot of walking?

A: You’ll definitely want to wear comfy shoes—sneakers or walking shoes are best. The tour does involve quite a bit of walking, as you’ll be exploring the Garden District, and some streets have uneven surfaces. Just be ready for a stroll through history, and enjoy the sights!
