DayWalkers: Supernatural History Walking Tour in New Orleans

By The Real: New Orleans

Discover the fascinating history of New Orleans during the DayWalkers Supernatural History Walking Tour in the Light. Unlike most supernatural tours that take place after dark, this experience explores the city’s darker stories in the bright daylight, revealing a different side of its eerie past.

As we stroll through the French Quarter, you'll stand in front of historic houses with chilling histories, feel the atmosphere of one of the most violent streets in the US, and learn about the city’s past filled with disease, violence, and inhumanity. It’s a captivating way to see the city’s darker stories without the shadows.

Join us for a walk on the dark side—under the sun. This tour is perfect for those curious about New Orleans’ haunted past but prefer exploring in daylight. It’s a unique perspective that brings history to life in a whole new way.
