New Orleans Ghost, Vampire, Witch, Voodoo, and Mystery Tour is a two-hour evening outing in the French Quarter from Haunted History Tours, booking from $30 per person at our August 3, 2026 check, when it was in stock. That was the first availability check we have run on this listing. It rates 4.6 from 787 Viator reviews, a figure identical across three captures in a week, on July 28, July 30 and August 3, 2026, so the number has not moved at all. Two things on the listing are unusual enough to lead with: it states wheelchair access including surfaces, and it states that it operates in all weather. One thing is missing and matters as much: nothing captured says whether the route is walked or ridden, so we call it neither.
The address of this page still carries the retired 5-in-1 name. The live listing on August 3, 2026 reads New Orleans Ghost, Vampire, Witch, Voodoo, and Mystery Tour, which is the name above; the address stays where it is so existing links keep working.
| Detail | What the listing shows |
|---|---|
| From price | $30 per person (checked August 3, 2026, unchanged from July 30, 2026). Joint fourth-lowest of the fifteen New Orleans listings we track, and with $37 one of the two most common price points in that set, three listings each. |
| Duration | 2 hours (checked July 30, 2026), the most common length in the set, 8 of the 15 |
| When | Evening, per the July 28, 2026 row we banked. No clock start time is verified anywhere, so we print none. Confirm it at booking. |
| Rating | 4.6 from 787 Viator reviews (checked August 3, 2026, and identical on July 28 and July 30). Shared with two other listings in the set; the highest we track in this city is 4.9. 787 is the seventh-smallest review base of the fifteen, and roughly a third of its own operator sibling's 2,274. |
| Ages | Bands on the booking form: infant 0 to 5, child 6 to 12, adult 13 to 59 and senior 60 to 99 (checked July 30, 2026). The 13 is where adult pricing starts, not an age floor. |
| Accessibility | Wheelchair accessible including surfaces, per the listing (checked July 30, 2026). Stroller access was not captured for this listing, and we do not borrow the sibling product's. |
| Weather | Operates in all weather, per the listing (checked July 30, 2026). It is the only one of the three New Orleans listings in this batch with a captured weather line. |
| Route | Six entries: the French Quarter, Jackson Square, Bourbon Street as a pass-by, the Royal Street Mall, Pirates Alley as a pass-by, and Finnegan's Easy (checked July 30, 2026). Nothing captured establishes going inside anywhere. |
| Format | Not captured. The accessible-surfaces wording points toward an on-foot route without confirming one, so we do not describe it as a walking tour in our own voice. |
| Cancellation | Free cancellation flagged at our August 3, 2026 check, and free to 24 hours before at our July 28, 2026 capture. Confirm the window on the booking page. |
| Availability | In stock at our August 3, 2026 check, the first availability check run on this listing |
| Not captured | Meeting point, end point, group size, stroller access, confirmation timing, inclusions beyond the stop list, and any clock start time. We print none of them and borrow none from the operator's other French Quarter product. |
| Operator | Haunted History Tours. We do not run this tour. |
What you will see
Two of the six named entries carry checked research in our files: Jackson Square and Pirates Alley. The French Quarter, Bourbon Street, the Royal Street Mall and Finnegan's Easy do not, so we name them and stop there. Five of these six entries also appear on the operator's other French Quarter ghost tour, which is why this page leads with the Pontalba build, the statue's engineering and the Faulkner room rather than retelling that page's material.
Jackson Square's frame is the pair of matching red-brick row buildings along its long sides, built for the Baroness Micaela Almonester de Pontalba. The two institutions we rely on date the work differently, the Historic New Orleans Collection between 1848 and 1851 and 64 Parishes between 1849 and 1851, so the honest form is the range and not a start year. James Gallier Sr. produced preliminary drawings and specifications that were attached to the 1849 building contract; Henry Howard was retained afterwards and left the job after clashing with the baroness. You will hear that these are the oldest apartment buildings in the United States. Among the oldest is the version that survives checking.
The statue in the middle is the other documented thing on this square, and its story is engineering rather than haunting. Clark Mills's equestrian Jackson was unveiled in February 1856 before a crowd the Historic New Orleans Collection puts at about 10,000. It was the first equestrian statue by an American sculptor, and the first anywhere to balance a horse on its hind legs with nothing propping it up. The raised hooves encode nothing: the notion that a horse's feet record how its rider died is a widely circulated myth with no basis, and Mills lifted the forelegs as a feat of engineering, not as a code.
Pirates Alley is passed rather than stopped at. It was laid out in the 1790s alongside the Cabildo, which had itself been rebuilt after the fire of 1794. The name is the newest thing about it: the city adopted Pirates Alley officially only in 1964, taking up a nickname already in circulation, and the nineteenth-century official name was Ruelle d'Orleans, Sud. That date rests on local-interest press rather than an ordinance we have seen, so treat it as approximate, and the piece we cite is candid that lore and rumor, more than hard fact, explain where the name came from. Nothing documented puts Jean Lafitte and Andrew Jackson in the passage together, the duels routinely placed here belong to St. Anthony's Garden on the far side of the iron fence, and no source puts slave sales in the alley.
One room on that alley does have a paper trail. In 1925 William Faulkner lived in a ground-floor apartment at what is now 624 Pirates Alley and began drafting his first novel, Soldiers' Pay, there. It was the first book and not a later one, a correction worth making because the later ones get attached to the room constantly. The space has housed Faulkner House Books since 1990 and was named a Literary Landmark in 1993. Everything supernatural on this route, by contrast, is folklore with no attributed source behind it, so we publish the history and leave the ghosts as what the operator tells you on the night.
Who it suits
Two hours from $30 in the evening, wheelchair accessible including surfaces, and stated to run in all weather, which is the only weather line captured among the three New Orleans listings in this batch. The bands run from infant 0 to 5 and child 6 to 12 through adult 13 to 59 and senior 60 to 99, so it prices for families and for older visitors without setting an age floor. It suits someone who wants one outing that packages several subjects rather than one subject done at length.
- Skip it if the LaLaurie Mansion is the reason you are booking. This route does not name it.
- Skip it if a small group matters. No cap was captured here, and one listing we track in this city caps at nine.
- Skip it if you need a confirmed clock time. None is verified.
- Skip it if you want a cemetery or an indoor investigation. Neither is on this route.
- Skip it if you need to know in advance whether you will be walking or riding. The listing does not say.
How it compares
The denominator is fifteen, the New Orleans listings we track, recomputed on August 2, 2026. At $30 this sits joint fourth-lowest and two hours is the commonest length, so neither sets it apart, and its 4.6 is shared with two other listings below the set's high of 4.9. The comparison that matters is with its own operator's other French Quarter ghost tour: same price, same two hours, and five of this listing's six entries appear on that one's nine. What this listing holds by itself: the five subjects in its name, the Royal Street Mall, the stated all-weather operation, the child and senior bands the sibling does not post, and Finnegan's Easy recorded as a stop. What belongs to the sibling and is not here: the LaLaurie Mansion, Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar and Rev. Zombie's Voodoo Shop. For a smaller group, The Ghosts of New Orleans Tour caps at nine, the smallest in the set, over 90 minutes at $29.99 on a 4.7 from 718 reviews. The set's price floor is $15, held by Haunted Ghost and Paranormal Tour in New Orleans, whose 4.5 rested on 99 reviews at our August 3, 2026 check. The rest of the city is in our haunted New Orleans guide.
Questions people ask
Who runs it, and how long is it?
Haunted History Tours. Two hours, from $30 at our August 3, 2026 check. We do not run it.
What time does it start?
No clock time is verified anywhere. The row we banked on July 28, 2026 records an evening departure, and that is as far as this page goes. Confirm the time at booking.
Where does it go?
Six entries: the French Quarter, Jackson Square, the Royal Street Mall and Finnegan's Easy, with Bourbon Street and Pirates Alley as pass-bys. Nothing captured establishes going inside anywhere on the route.
Can children come?
Yes. The bands are infant 0 to 5, child 6 to 12, adult 13 to 59 and senior 60 to 99. The 13 is where adult pricing begins rather than an age limit.
Is it accessible, and what happens if it rains?
The listing states wheelchair access including surfaces, and states that it operates in all weather. Stroller access was not captured for this listing, so we publish none.
How does it differ from the operator's other ghost tour?
Same price and same length. This one packages five subjects, adds the Royal Street Mall and states all-weather operation; the other names the LaLaurie Mansion and Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar, which this one does not.
