French Quarter Historic District
Nightly Spirits operates ghost walking tours and haunted pub crawls in roughly twenty U.S. cities. Its New Orleans program runs three public products from a single French Quarter meeting point at 410 Dauphine Street: the 21-and-up Booze and Boos Tour, a 21-and-up Happy Hour Hauntings tour, and the all-ages Nola Spooktacular Ghost Walk, plus a school-groups-only Haunted History Field Trips product and private-group bookings.
A related domain, neworleansghost.tours, also branded under Nightly Spirits, lists a different set of French Quarter product names and prices (a Ghost Tour Pub Crawl, Dark History Tours, Sweets & Specters, and Cocktails and Courtyards); this listing follows the primary nightlyspirits.com New Orleans page as the authoritative current lineup and flags the discrepancy for review. Both domains agree on the 410 Dauphine Street meeting address.
Nightly Spirits has been cited by USA Today as among the best ghost tours in America, and Tripadvisor/Yelp reviews of the New Orleans program describe an actively operating, well-reviewed tour.
Sources
Nightly Spirits' New Orleans page describes its tours as covering 'haunted buildings, haunted cemeteries, haunted parks,' and 'dark history,' without identifying specific named landmarks in the currently reviewed public marketing copy. A separately branded domain for the same New Orleans operation, neworleansghost.tours, references additional themed tours (dessert-and-drinks and cocktail-focused products) not described on the primary site.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.

Some links on this page may earn HauntBound a small commission when you book, at no extra cost to you. Our editorial picks are independent. Full disclosure
Published starting address for all Nightly Spirits New Orleans tours. The operator's own French Quarter marketing describes stops at 'haunted buildings, haunted cemeteries, and haunted parks' without naming specific landmarks, so no further stops are listed here.
Every HauntBound history is researched from documented sources. We clearly separate verified historical fact from paranormal folklore.
