Additional Information

We couldn’t decide if we loved ghost stories or true crime stories more, so we decided to do them both!
You can almost feel the history (and the spirits) as you walk through this 300 year old neighborhood and former Native American gathering place on the Mississippi River.
THIS is the sacred ground where centuries of unforgettable, intense characters…

Fantastic tour - Our guide was so good. He has story telling skills and the stories he presented were fascinating and will be sending me down the rabbit hole on several of the tales he told. The pictures were my attempt to capture a picture of a spirit, but to no avail!

Great tour with lots of haunted history. - Joshua was our tour guide and he was great! He was super knowledgeable and gave us so much information about the history of the french quarter. He didn’t miss anything and I felt like the way he explained everything was way more than I thought we would get. Would highly recommend!

much better than the Witches Brew tour (less expensive too!) - Scott was the absolute best. By contrast, we attended a different tour 2 days previously with Witches Brew that was seriously awful despite costing almost twice as much (the guide swore at us and more than half of the group left that tour early), so the Lucky Bean tour was good by any measure and amazing by contrast. Scott knew far more background about all the sites we visited, sometimes would offer us choices for which historic event we wanted to know more about, was incredible about saying "the lore and rumors say this, but here's what we actually know" about everything, plus he was fun and personable to boot. I couldn't recommend this tour more highly.

Excellent tour! - Scott was amazing! Our group had been burned by a truly awful tour with another company the night before, so we were a little wary. But we had already paid, and decided we would just make the best of it. Let me tell you, *we* didn't have to make the best of anything, because Scott did it for us. Very friendly, with great stories and lively delivery. If you're looking for a tour in NOLA, this is the one!

Best Tour in New Orleans - Scott was an amazing tour guide. He did a great job of including legends, real history and ghost stories of New Orleans. He was well spoken and engaging in his storytelling. One of the best ghost and history tours I have ever experienced. This is a must do if you travel to New Orleans. My friends and I didn't want the night to end.
