Fantastic tour, perfect way to see the Quarter! - I joined the tour with Orion, and what a way to see the French Quarter! His stories were engrossing and I loved learning all of the history of the places we visited. It was the perfect way to immerse myself in the magic of New Orleans. Orion was an engaging storyteller and so knowledgeable. I appreciated the respect he had for the people in his stories and I found the tales more interesting because they weren’t just scary. I can’t wait to check out their other walking tours!

Haunted tour with a great guide - Took my family on a ghost tour and we were led by the wonderful and knowledgeable Orion. He took great care of us, walking along the “must see” spots and indulging those of us who really wanted to see specific places in New Orleans. Don’t hesitate booking with Orion, you’ll have a wonderful and meaningful experience! :)

Excellent time! - Wife and I had the opportunity to join Orion (tour guide) and a group of five other individuals for a 5:00pm to 6:45pm Ghost Tour of New Orleans. From the outset the tour instructions were clear for arrival, Orion followed up with personalized additional details, making initial meetup easy! Kickoff location is cool, and has drinks available should you desire. Clear instruction continued as Orion reviewed the expectations of the tour behavior and cadence, introducing the product as a performance which was exactly what it was meant to be in our minds! Well Orion did a great job of capturing factual New Orleans lore with personalized flair and an air of mystery! All we could say was bravo! And people…don’t forget to always drop a dollar in the hat of any performer you may pass on the street!

Best Tour Guide in NOLA - We did the Classic Ghost Tour during our trip to New Orleans. We booked this tour specifically to have the opportunity to listen to Orion Couling. We absolutely loved our tour. We have both done a *lot* of walking tours in different countries and it was hands down the best we’ve each experienced. We were entertained the entire time and Orion is an incredible orator. He knows his history, his stories, and the city and it was mesmerizing. Additionally, the respectful atmosphere he establishes for the people in the tour and the members of the community is beautiful and welcoming. You will not regret this experience but you will regret missing out.

Best Ghost Story - This is an awesome tour by Orion. He is very detailed in his story telling, engaging and fun. He tells you the story without leaving out the history so that you can understand the entire story. Never a dry moment even with the historical content. Loved it!

Sean did a great job... - Sean did a great job maintaining humor and historical accuracy. He was also good at answering questions along the way. It would have been nice to have a map (either print out or a text) to follow along and remember where all we went.
