 Haunted History Tours |
723 St. Peter Street New Orleans, LA United States (504) 861-2727 www.HauntedHistoryTours.com |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. If you are a history buff or just love a good scare, then consider one of these tours. These are walking tours led by one of a number of area experts who specialize in the history of ghosts, voodoo and haunted places. Featured attractions include the Saint Louis Cemetery Number One and areas related to voodoo and witchcraft, as well as French Quarter locations that have had documented ghost sightings. All tours leave from the Reverend Zombie's Voodoo Shop in the French Quarter at 723 Saint Peter Street. There is nothing quite comparable to a good ghost story outside the cemetery gates at dusk.

A steamy cajun lady |
1, Canal Street New Orleans, LA 70130 United States +1 504 524 0814 |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. This replica of a late 19th-century steamboat is docked at the Aquarium of the Americas. The 140-foot vessel accommodates up to 600 passengers. A 90-minute cruise departs at 10:30am and 2pm for a seven and a half mile excursion down the Mississippi River. The trip along the Mississippi is refreshing but not very scenic. There is also an optional buffet to enjoy while you move along the river. Review © 2007, Wcities |
