New Orleans Garden District Ghost Tour

Published on Sunday, November 29, 2009 by Michelle Onorato

Haunted History Tours - Garden District Haunted TourHaunted History Tours present the New Orleans Garden District Ghost Tour. Be scared as your walking tour departs from The Pontchartrain Hotel and heads over into the fragrant, beautiful Garden District.

The Pontchartrain Hotel is located at 2031 St. Charles Ave.

Find yourself awe-inspired as you gaze upon Ante Bellum mansions while your tour guide tells you tales of horror from those who have lived there. From ghost sightings, to ectoplasm formations, to things that go bump in the night; your tour guide will explain the history of the Garden District and each haunted Ante Bellum, while pointing out celebrity homes like Sandra Bullock and John Goodman. You’ll even see the house where The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was filmed among other locations like inside Lafayette Cemetery.

Caution: As with any walking tour, be careful when walking on sidewalks and streets. In the Garden District, some of the sidewalks are uneven due to tree roots.

Be sure to bring your cameras along because you won’t want to miss capturing any orbs that may appear in your photographs along with any celeb sightings. Oh, and wear comfortable shoes because this 2 hour walking tour won’t have many places for you to rest your feet.

This tour departs daily at 3:30 pm and costs $20.00 per adult, $17.00 for Seniors/Students, $10 for Children under 12, and is free for children under 6. Tour-goers are asked to arrive 30 minutes early for check-in.

Once in New Orleans, you can find tour coupons on flyers and in free publications or you can print one ahead of time by clicking here.

ggt_approveGuy and Girl Travels Tip: For the cheapest ride to the Pontchartrain Hotel from the French Quarter, take the historic St. Charles Streetcar. The cost is $1.25 per person and exact change is required. Just ring the bell once you’ve reached your destination, which will be on the right. It’s approximately a 5 – 8 minute ride from Carondelet and Canal Street.
