A Ghost & Dark-History Tour Through the Most Haunted Mile of New Orleans
Walking the Haunted Mile is Buzz NOLA’s signature 2-hour ghost experience — a chilling journey through one of the most supernaturally active stretches of the French Quarter. You’ll visit legendary haunted locations including Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop, Pirate’s Alley, the Old Ursuline Convent, the site of the 1973 Upstairs Lounge fire, the 2024 Bourbon Street attack, and the infamous LaLaurie Mansion.
This is a premium small-group tour offering clear storytelling, room to breathe, and a guide you can actually hear, not a megaphone shouting over Bourbon Street crowds.
