“★★★★★ I’ve taken quite a few walking tours in New Orleans and the several I’ve taken led by Edward Simon were hands down the most interesting, surprising, thoughtful, hilarious, deeply creepy, and absolute BEST. - Michael Cerveris, Star of 'Mindhunter' Wanna get weird? Walk with us, fam. Curated by parapsychologist Dr. Edward Simon, this adults-only walking tour time machine transports you back through the ill-fated settlement that famed occultist Aleister Crowley referred to as the “Quartier Macabre,” a city lost between life and God. One night, we’ll uncover Gallatin Street's scandalous past as a bustling red-light district, or we may find ourselves at the doorstep of the city’s first witch coven, whispering legends of magick rituals before getting stirred by vampire lore at the Old Ursuline Convent. Wherever the road travels, you’ll be led and engaged by a master storyteller tasked to make your stay in our city one you won’t soon forget. Book fast, or forever rue, boo.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Ghosts, Gods, & Gangsters tour?

A: Yes, this is an adults-only tour, so you have to be at least 18 to join. It's designed to be more of a mature experience since it dives into some heavy topics and creepy stories. If you're looking for something suitable for younger audiences, this probably isn't it.

Q: What should we wear for the Ghosts, Gods, & Gangsters walking tour?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must since you'll be doing a decent amount of walking. Dress for the weather—New Orleans can get pretty humid, so light clothing is better in summer. Don’t forget to bring a light jacket if it's chilly in the evening! Also, keep an eye on the forecast in case of rain.

Q: What happens if it rains? Is the Ghosts, Gods, & Gangsters tour canceled?

A: The tour generally runs rain or shine unless the weather is severe. If it's just light rain, they usually go ahead with the tour. But, if it looks dangerous or they need to reschedule, they'll contact you to set up a new time. It's a good idea to check their policy when you book!
