This combination ghost tour and pub crawl will take you past some of the oldest buildings in the south. Each one with its own dark tale lurking behind the shutters. You’ll hear tales of war, murder, and voodoo; of legend and lore; of the bloody nightmares that are buried beneath the incredible French and Spanish architecture. With liquid courage in hand, we will spend two hours exploring the French Quarter and learning the intimate details of the city’s eternal residents.
