Overview

“★★★★★ I’ve taken quite a few walking tours in New Orleans and the several I’ve taken led by Edward Simon were hands down the most interesting, surprising, thoughtful, hilarious, deeply creepy, and absolute BEST. - Michael Cerveris, Star of 'Mindhunter' Wanna get weird? Walk with us, fam. Curated by parapsychologist Dr. Edward Simon, this adults-only walking tour time machine transports you back through the ill-fated settlement that famed occultist Aleister Crowley referred to as the “Quartier Macabre,” a city lost between life and God. One night, we’ll uncover Gallatin Street's scandalous past as a bustling red-light district, or we may find ourselves at the doorstep of the city’s first witch coven, whispering legends of magick rituals before getting stirred by vampire lore at the Old Ursuline Convent. Wherever the road travels, you’ll be led and engaged by a master storyteller tasked to make your stay in our city one you won’t soon forget. Book fast, or forever rue, boo.

Best of the 7 Tours I Booked of New Orleans

Published on Jan, 2025

It was hands down the Best part of our Trip! Dr. Edward was Awesome! My husband…was not looking forward to this tour I had set up! All he was stuck on was “Ghost”!!! It was so much More! Everything we learned was ALL FACTS!!! Once, we started my Husband was so drawn in and asking questions! You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! BOOK THIS TOUR!!! My husband, throughly Enjoyed this Tour! He was on Business travel and told everyone he work with How Great it was! Funny enough…My husband, told everyone, about the Most Haunted House he saw! HANDS DOWN BEST TOUR IN NEW ORLEANS!!!!

Ghosts, Gods, Gangsters, and Good Times

Published on Jan, 2025

Edward was the absolute best tour guide imaginable! My girlfriend and I arrived early for our tour, which allowed us to connect with him on a more personal level. Off first impression alone, we knew we were in for a treat! Once the tour started, Edward displayed his entertaining sense of explanation paired with his vast knowledge of his content! This tour is an ABSOLUTE MUST during your trip to New Orleans!

Loved our tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

We loved our tour with Dr Edward! It can be a difficult thing to keep a tour fun and interesting, be honest about history, while still respecting that many of these stories involve death and suffering of real people. Dr Edward absolutely nailed it though, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The tour covers macabre topics without being lurid or gross which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you!

The title is appropriate for the tour subjects

Published on Dec, 2024

Our group of four were very lucky as we were the only people booked on this tour which essentially became a private tour. His knowledge of NOLA and its gritty history was expansive. He was entertaining and obviously enthusiastic about the topics covered. My advice would be to wear very warm clothing in the winter months as this tour is conducted entirely outdoors.

Stories that gave me the chills.

Published on Dec, 2024

Dr E.Simon was a fascinating story teller. He had our attention from the get go. His knowledge of the area and the history of the city was evident.
