The Big Easy: famous for its food, jazz, architecture, and... ghosts. Troubled spirits, ruthless pirates, and tortured slaves are all eternally trapped in these walls.
Join me on a narrated walking tour of the French Quarters most haunted sites. The tour includes 18 sites and is about 2.5 miles long.
All Two Buck Tours include maps with GPS, directions, photos, text, and are narrated in English. Too spooked? Rain? Take a break and resume later. Its like having your own personal guide, at a fraction of the price. No schedules, no crowds, no worries.
Pros and cons of Ghosts of New Orleans app for iPhone and iPad
Ghosts of New Orleans app good for
And this one did not disappoint! I like getting to see the more unusual parts of cities, and getting to hear bits of history along the way. This app fit the bill. I was there as a tourist, but Id recommend it for both locals and tourists.
I didn’t notice many updates with this version. But, it’s still one of my favorite New Orleans apps. I’ve now tried all the bars on the tour, and several I keep going back to when I visit (especially LaFitte’s). No driving required, which is nice for bar hopping.
the ghost stories are a fun read on their own, but combined with some yummy drinks & eats the tour really highlights some of the best reasons to visit new orleans! fun & definitely a good value.
I dont just say that because the creators are awesome and 2 doors down from me, but this is a great app. Fun to do with a friend, lots of entertainment. Thanks and looking forward to your next one!
Tour took us to some very cool bars that all were of a unique vibe. Most of the bartenders werent familiar with the stories but they had some of their own. Nicely done!
I’ve tried tour apps in a few different cities - NYC, London, Chicago. But this was my favorite so far, largely because it combined a haunted theme with bars and history. Not dull at all. I also liked that it lead you from one site to the next, as opposed to some city apps where you have to figure out your own way.
Some bad moments
I am very disappointed that this app has only 9 places included in the walk! When I saw the screenshot of the list, I assumed there must be more places to visit if one scrolled the list. Having been to NOLA four different times, I was really hoping to discover a gem Id missed. Sadly, I wont find that gem with this app. What about "The Dungeon" Bar? It has a sinister haunted history. What about Johnny Whites?
These same 9 bars are listed on Squidoo if you search "Haunted New Orleans Bars." I wonder who copied whom?
A waste of $3.99, I would probably delete this app even if it were free.
Obviously the 5 review was from the creator. The 11 sites you see are IT! I thought it would have been nice to walk around with the audio playing but there are just not enough places to enjoy this app.
