Haunted Ghosts & Spirits Tour

GK_StAnthonyGarden shadow fr PirateAlley

New Orleans is often referred to as “The Most Haunted City in America.” Add Halloween to the mix… it’s sure to be a spooky week at CLEAN GULF! Join your colleagues for a haunted walking tour in the French Quarter at dusk on Monday, October 28th. This is a private guided tour exclusively for CLEAN GULF attendees.
The Quarter is filled with colorful characters who lived, died and have chosen to remain in this historic city. Attendees will meet in the French Quarter for a group tour of the 300 year old European neighborhood. Your tour guide will stop along the route to show off some haunts and to tell the rich, historic secrets of the long departed. It’s a can’t miss, Halloween week networking event!

Attendees will meet at 400 Toulouse Street – the Grayline Lighthouse next to the Mississippi River in the French Quarter. Our guide will bring attendees on the 2 hour experience (with stops for cocktails along the way!) and will end the tour in the Quarter at the perfect time to grab dinner. Attendees should arrive 15 minutes prior to departure to avoid missing group.

Sign up with your CLEAN GULF registration or contact our customer services team at register@cleangulf.org or (301) 354-2101 to add to your existing reservation. Questions? Contact Ashlyn Geoffrey at ageoffrey@accessintel.com.

*Please note – price includes the two hour tour and tip for guide. Cocktails along the way are not included.
