Stop At: French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana
While the French Quarter is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the US, for many years it was a kicked back Southern town. With the growth and development that has taken place after so many tragic events, many of the historical homes and buildings in New Orleans have been renovated. These renovations awakened the sleeping ghosts throughout, and sparked increased reports of paranormal activity.
In the dead of the night, this tour will creep through the narrow, dilapidated alleyways and streets of the famed French Quarter. Guests will hear the true, documented stories of the chaos that took place here over the years, since it was founded in 1718.
This tour is intense. All the stories heard are true and not to be taken lightly.
