Jonathan Weiss Tours

In response to the tour guide's response to my review...a year later (he already responded as childishly on my Google review a year ago)...do you hear yourself?I felt uncomfortable during YOUR tour in response to the way YOU (the guide) treated me. I've never had a problem with any other tour guide in NOLA...or any other city. You can check my reviews on that. Maybe check yourself and your arrogance and use it to become a fantastic tour guide, because without the deliberate attempt to make someone else look smaller by putting them down, the tour would have been just that...fantastic. You have extensive knowledge and tell a great story...just treat others with respect, that's all.

Our haunted tour was scheduled for January 6th 2024 at 7:15. Meeting place was 622 Pirates Alley. Six of us waited in the cold for 45 minutes. Emails and phone calls went unanswered by the host the rest of the evening. All 6 of us booked through Groupon so we will have to try to get refunds through them. Save yourself the aggravation and headache and find another tour than Jonathan Weiss. Sadly no ghosts just ghosted by the host.Edit to add: Groupon has issued me a full refund. The review still stands at one star. Communication is everything and disappointing 6 people who waited out in the cold for an hour is not a good business practice.

We did the walking 90 minute ghost tour with Jonathan. Our group found him to be very knowledgeable, informative and a great story teller rich with the history of New Orleans. Johathan definitely knew the timing of all the other walking tours because we arrived at the mid-tour stop for a drink & bathroom break at the oldest bar in the French Quarters just a few minutes before all the other tours so we didn't have to wait in the long lines for either a drink or bathroom. I would definitely recommend Jonathan Weiss over the major tour companies.

You MUST make a tour with Jonathan part of your New Orleans visit! Don't waste your time with the corporate tour companies. Jonathan is a real New Orleanian with a vast knowledge of the city's dark and colorful history. Whether you are looking for tales about vampires, ghosts, or pirates, Jonathan always delivers an entertaining and educational experience. I have gone back for three different tours with Jonathan, and each time I have walked away with a deeper appreciation of New Orlean's rich history. Just book a tour and thank me later!

We booked two tours through Jonathan Weiss Tours during our week long stay in New Orleans.The first tour was their Cemetery #1 tour. I can't remember our tour guides name, but he was so much fun and was clearly very passionately about the history of New Orleans. We were able to visit 3 separate cemeteries and the Hurricane Katrina memorial.The other tour was the French Quarter Ghost Tour. Doug led this tour and was incredible. We were the only people on this tour so it felt like a private experience. We stopped by multiple bars so we could walk around with drinks while visiting some of the most haunted places around the French Quarter.These tours were well worth the money and I would love to try some of the other if we are ever in New Orleans again!

Took his Vampire tour. Fantastic experience! Jonathan was well versed in both vampire lore, he was a consummate showman, keeping his tour both informative and entertaining. He clearly has done his research and most importantly he went out of his way to speak to each member of the tour as we walked along.Highly recommended

Probably my 8th or 9th guided tour in the city, and definitely one of my favorites. Jonathan is very knowledgeable about the history of the city and cultivates his tours to be both intriguing and informative. We had two young teenagers with us on our tour (one who was worried about the "ghost" aspect) and everyone had a great time. The magic of his stories, and his attempted accents from other local languages and dialects all add to the theatrics of the tour.The tour didn't move very far around the quarter, so it would've been good for someone who doesn't want a really mobile tour, but there were lots of stories packed into the small area we covered, and of course the typical stop at Lafitte's about halfway through for some liquid refreshment.I can't wait to sign up for a few more of his tours to see what else he has to offer.

My family and I went on the dark history tour. We all really enjoyed it. Jonathan was very informative and knew a lot about the history of the city. My youngest is 10 and it was appropriate and all the kids enjoyed it.

I have emailed them with my groupon, then I called. No answer I left a voice mail and the rest happened by text. Very rude!

I went on Jonathan's tour on ghosts and vampires. I went on a city walking tour and I felt Jonathan did a better job at covering the early history of new Orleans than my morning tour guide at a different company. For instance, the morning guide talked about how early residents fired cannon balls to rid the city of yellow fever. Jonathan added how residents also burned tarr which stopped the spread of yellow fever as bugs don't like burning tarr which temporarily stopped the spread of yellow fever.
