    DayWalkers Supernatural History Walking Tour in the Light

    Powered by Viator

    New Orleans, LA

    The Night is ruled by supernatural beings, but what about the Day? Most supernatural history tours are nighttime events. We believe the Day is as mesmerizing and fascinating as anything that happens in the darkest hours. Join us as we stroll the French Quarter in broad daylight exploring its darkest parts in a completely different light. We will stand in front of houses with macabre histories, “feel the air” of one of the most violent, dangerous streets to ever exist in the US, and find ourselves horrified by the actual history of disease, violence, and inhumanity in the Crescent City. DayWalkers we will be. Join us for your walk on the dark side in the sunlight!
