French Quarter · New Orleans Historic District
Ghost City Tours operates ghost walking tours in dozens of U.S. cities, with a New Orleans program the company's own site advertises as running since 2012. In New Orleans the company runs four separately ticketed products rather than a single tour: the family-friendly Ghosts of New Orleans Tour, open to all ages; the adults-only Bad Bitches Ghost Tour and Killers and Thrillers Tour, both restricted to guests 16 and older; and the 21-and-up New Orleans Haunted Pub Crawl.
Three of the four tours share a single meeting point, the Ghost City Tours storefront at 809 Royal Street in the French Quarter, where the operator's booking pages instruct guests to check in at the counter before departure. The Haunted Pub Crawl's cached page describes its four bar stops and open-container arrangement but does not state a separate meeting address.
Each tour walks a route of roughly one mile through the French Quarter, stopping outside named buildings and streets while a guide narrates researched history alongside the operator's own paranormal material; the tours do not provide access to building interiors beyond what the property itself separately offers the public.

Each New Orleans tour is built around a different cluster of the operator's stated material. The Bad Bitches Ghost Tour opens at the LaLaurie Mansion, which the operator's page ties to documented cruelty toward the enslaved people held in the household, before moving to Gallatin Street, a 19th-century vice district, and on to the Hotel Villa Convento and the Bourbon Orleans Hotel. The Ghosts of New Orleans Tour opens at Muriel's Jackson Square and continues to Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the LaLaurie Mansion, and the Andrew Jackson Hotel, the last tied by the operator to a 19th-century fire and yellow-fever deaths.
The Killers and Thrillers Tour opens at Pirates Alley and continues to the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum, the LaLaurie Mansion, and the Gardette-LePretre Mansion, which the operator's own page describes its central massacre story as folklore rather than documented history. The Haunted Pub Crawl opens at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop and continues past Pirates Alley, the LaLaurie Mansion, and the Mahogany Jazz Club, framed by the operator as a social crawl through haunted taverns rather than a straight history walk.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim. Where a site's history involves cruelty toward enslaved people or other real harm, this listing names the site as a tour stop without repeating the operator's more graphic marketing detail.
