Hi I am going in June 2023. Will the cemeteries be open for tours?

Hi Crystal, The Archdiocese blocked all tour companies from bringing guests into the cemeteries almost 3 years ago. Though we have all tried our best to negotiate with them and finally resorted to a legal battle, we are all still banned. I… more

Which tour includes the cemetery & are you allowed to walk inside?

Unfortunately at this time we are unable to access any of the cemeteries on our tours as the ones close to our routes are all closed for a variety of reasons. Sorry about that!

Michael was friendly, knowledgeable, and great at balancing the horror with humor! Highly recommend this company and this tour guide!

Nika was the best! Thank you! I learned more than I would have without her. We had so much fun! She made us laugh and told ne all the things I wanted to know about New Orleans.

Breon is fantastic. This was a fun tour. We went throughout the French Quarter. (He's also from Kansas.)

Awesome tour. Breon was fantastic.

I booked a walking tour through Groupon with French Quarter Phantoms. I'd already had them bookmarked on Yelp so I jumped on the deal. We arrived early and checked. We got a wristband and waited for our tour guide to arrive. Our group was about 20ish guests strong. I wish I could remember our tour guides name! I'll call and ask and update this review. Our tour guide was awesome. He shared so much history about Louisana and New Orleans, so much that our history books don't teach us. He was very culturally sensitive, he shared his knowledge and disclosed he'd done his research and had spoken with experts as well as historians. Since the tour involved the history of the voodoo religion in New Orleans, he also shared his knowledge from actual voodoo practioners. The walking tour was a little over 90 minutes long, so much wealth of information was shared during the tour. I'm truly grateful for this wonderful experience and for our tour guide. A walking tour is a definite must do activity if you're visiting New Orleans.

SUCH a fun tour and entertaining staff. We did a ghost and vampire tour on arguably the craziest night in the French Quarter outside of Mardi Gras. Despite this, our guide, Luke, expertly dealt with the drunk crowds nearby and kept us deeply engaged with all of the tour stops. My husband and I have a weird fascination with ghost stories so I thought I would know most of them beforehand, but Luke was able to share plenty of new stories and legends that we didn't know about. For the LaLaurie house, he also emphasized the horrors of slavery and managed to approach this terrifying story with great sensitivity. He was also darkly funny and had a booming voice which is perfect for bigger tour groups like ours. I'm so glad we went with this tour.

#askforwolfy OK, so I'm a little late in getting the review up online, but I have a friend going to NOLA and looking forward to this tour in a couple of weeks, so now I'm compelled to write about my amazing experience with FQPhantoms. We went in July--and man was it HOT--but we took old-school oriental fans and water bottles with battery powered fans combos, and it was very bearable! The bar break helped, too! Our tour guide, Wolfy, was The Best! If I could give him 10 stars, I would! He really knew his stuff, and confidently answered questions surrounding the topics, and some random questions, too. It was obvious that he was very much into New Orleans, its history and culture, and was an expert at keeping our crowd enthralled from start to finish! I hope go on a tour with him every single time I'm back in The Big Easy, because he is a lifelong learner, and will surely have more to share next time. He was very organized and we had no trouble hearing him. Just a warning though, it's all fun and games until the end, and the stories about slaves and a little girl at last stop really brought tears to my eyes. The whole experience was educational, entertaining, and moving, and what a great guy Wolfy is!

Nika was amazing, hilarious and so Insightful She was so patient with us and had the best stories.

Erin gave an amazing Saints and Sinners tour! She was genuine, knew her audience, and really knew her info. We had a group of 4, and everyone really enjoyed it. We also went on a ghost tour the night before, but this was our favorite.

Meeting area

Excellent tour of the Garden District while vacationing in New Orleans. Found a Groupon deal for six people and easily made a reservation for a Monday morning tour. Our tour guide, Daniel, was fantastic. We walked all over the place, stopping to hear the history of the famous mansions and also learned about Commander's Palace and Lafayette Cemetery Number One. It was a beautiful day so it was even more enjoyable. We saw homes that belonged to John Goodman, Anne Rice, the Mannings, Sandra Bullock and Trent Reznor. Very interesting and beautiful homes. The trees and gardens are breathtaking. Daniel was engaging and eager to answer questions.

This was really fun. Did the nighttime adult only tour. Our guide was Yvette who was awesome and a great storyteller. He grew up in So Louisiana and made it so much fun. The bar they stop at halfway through has the best Gumbo ever!!!! Ill add the name of the place when i remember it.

French quarter phantoms – nola ghost tour review.

Storytelling was definitely at its finest with the walking Ghost Tour company the French Quarter Phantoms . 

June 9th, 2023

Walking through the French Quarter in New Orleans, my colleague and I were shocked to learn a number of creepy stories while situated in front of the buildings where the nightmarish incidents took place. Our tour guide, Wolfie, was exceptional in keeping us engaged throughout the tour with his detailed narratives and sometimes comical nature. However, many of us were already loosened up by indulging in New Orleans own drink The Hurricane at an adjacent bar to the box office before the tour ever began.

One aspect that I particularly appreciated about this tour was the small group size. It allowed for a more intimate and personalized experience as we explored the haunted streets of the French Quarter. Stories ranged from stalkers, vampires, mental patients, burning buildings, pirates and enslavement torture, which in turn led to deformations. A highlight of the tour was a visit to the haunted Andrew Jackson Hotel, which was originally a burnt down Boarding School that took the lives of children and later a U.S. Federal Courthouse, where the former president was once held for contempt of court. There are reports of ghosts waking up guests with laughter or pushing them out of the bed while others have even claimed to see Andrew Jackson roaming the hallways. 

Throughout the tour, Wolfie pinpointed various buildings that held a significant place in New Orleans history, not just ones that were deemed haunted. It was fascinating to hear about the stories and legends associated with these locations, including the fact that the American Horror Story series, The Covenant, was filmed in one of them.

On a lighter note, Wolfie even chatted about Nicolas Cage and his ghost-front property, which was a humorous and unexpected addition. It was interesting to hear about how Cage lost a fortune to the IRS, but managed to hold onto his burial plot.

In conclusion, our ghost tour experience with French Quarter Phantoms and our tour guide, Wolfie, was outstanding. The exploration of haunted sites made for a captivating and memorable evening. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a blend of history, mystery, and paranormal tales while visiting the French Quarter in New Orleans.

• Guided tour

Moscow: City Sightseeing by Car/Bus

• Description
• Choose date

Visiting a new city is akin to going on a first date, it is something you will never forget. Many people imagine Moscow as just a bunch of sporadic landmarks: Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum and GUM. There is so much more to this wonderful city than that and even though we only have a few hours, we will do all we can to show you everything we know and love about our capital in one fell swoop. We will take you on a journey through the ages, from centuries ago, right up to the modern day, soaking in the sights of this vast and bustling metropolis. Bright, luxurious and both ancient and modern at the same time, Moscow invites you on a date you’ll never forget!

On our sightseeing bus tour of the city, you will see:

• The wonderfully historic city centre and its unique museums, magnificent cathedrals, the exquisite Chambers of the Romanov Boyars and of course, the famous towering red brick walls of the Kremlin, The charming beauty of the Alexander Garden awaits the capital's guests - a lush green oasis in the midst of the glass and concrete clad metropolis, basking in the etherial aura emanating from the whitewashed stone walls of the restored Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world- renowned fairytale onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and other impressive monumental buildings such as the library built in Lenin's honour - the Russian State Library - and the State Duma.
• The Lubyanka KGB headquarters is notorious to members of older generations and although nowadays, the face of the secret police has changed dramatically, the looming enigmatic building on the waterfront maintains its aura of mystery, shrouded in a variety of murky rumours and dark myths. Then, there’s another of Moscow's main attractions - the marvellous Bolshoi Theatre, yew simply cant leave Moscow without taking in its breathtaking architecture. Engrained in the fabric of Russia's cultural heritage, virtuoso performers such as prima ballerina Galina Ulanova, opera singer Feodor Chaliapin and pianist, composer and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff once stood centre stage of this vaunted institution.
• The memorial complex on Poklonnaya Hill was constructed in the glory and honour of our heroes who defended our nation in the many crucial battles of the Great Patriotic War (WWII). This is a place that embodies a particularly acute and inextricable link between older ancf younger generations. Moving on to the Moscow International Business Centre, not dubbed ‘Moscow City' for nothing, a true glimpse of the future in the present. This incredible, rather jaw-dropping project in the capital has shown that Moscow has come to accept the age of the skyscraper. Finally, the stunning views from the observation deck at Sparrow Hills will leave professional and amateur photographers alike itching to capture them. How could one resist?

The most beautiful of all the world's cities - lady Moscow invites you out on a date!

After two and half days getting acquainted with the city, we’ve set time aside for you to explore Moscow your way and discover your own favourite hang-outs in a city overflowing with hidden treasures

3-Day Moscow Tour Highlights:

• Panoramic Tour of Moscow: See Moscow beyond the postcard images on a private excursion by car through the city streets including a drive along the banks of the Moskva River. Visit the famous Bolshoi Theatre, pass by Gorky Park and the Novodevichy Convent, and admire the city from on high at the Sparrow Hill observation platform.

• Armory Chamber tour: Explore the endless treasures of this unique museum, displaying the wealth accumulated by Russian rulers from the 12th century until the October Revolution of 1917. Walking through the exhibition halls is a journey through the centuries.
• Moscow Metro Tour : Go deep underground on a subway tour of the famous Moscow metro. The world’s deepest metro system is renowned for its palatial, art-adorned stations, complete with marble columns and chandeliers.

On your first day, you’ll be treated to a panoramic, drive-by tour of Moscow to get a feel for the immense scale of one of the world’s most rapidly developing urban centres. The city’s history unfolds in real-time as you pass lavish imperial mansions, solemn Soviet structures and luxurious modern shopping centres.

Day two kicks off exploring Moscow’s historic centre on foot, followed by a tour of the Kremlin, the seat of Russian power and political intrigue for centuries. Stand in the Red Square, surrounded by the stunning architecture as you hear stories of the people and events behind many of Moscow’s most iconic landmarks.

On your final day, we’ll head beneath the city for a tour of the Moscow Metro and its famously ornate underground stations. Art lovers should hit up one of Moscow’s many world-class galleries such as the Tretyakov State Gallery, the Pushkin Museum or Garage, Moscow’s cutting-edge contemporary art museum. History fans can follow a Soviet trail through the city including Stalin’s Bunker, while those seeking a more indulgent experience can browse trendy neighbourhoods like Kitay Gorod or shop for everything from fashion to kitsch souvenirs at the enchanting Izmaylovo Flea Market. Foodies can head to one of the countless speciality stores sampling vodka, caviar and chocolate.

If you only have a few days to spend in Moscow, this tour will ensure you make the most of your time in the city. Let the experts navigate you through this complex and occasionally overwhelming capital, giving you plenty of time to soak up the city’s most unmissable attractions.

Day 1 Panoramic city tour

Welcome to the glorious capital of Russia, Moscow! You’ll be met by your driver at the airport and taken to your centrally located hotel.

After check-in and rest, meet your private guide at the hotel lobby for a comprehensive tour of Moscow by car. Visit the starkly contrasting Theatre Square to see the stunning Bolshoi Theatre, pass Tverskaya Street, the city’s main boulevard and home to the landmark Yeleseyevskiy Grocery Store.

You’ll enjoy a panoramic drive along the Moskva River, where a huge, controversial state of Peter the Great was erected. Pass by the legendary Gorky Park and the White House before a stop at the architecturally stunning Novodevichy Convent, and the observation platform at Sparrow Hills, for a bird’s eye view over this staggering megalopolis.

Day 2 Red Square and Kremlin

After breakfast at the hotel, your guide will take you on a walking tour of the historical city centre. Stroll through the Red Square, the hub of cultural life in Moscow, with its elaborate ‘stone flower’ fountain and fantasy-like St Basil’s Cathedral – a postcard-perfect symbol of the nation. Admire the grandiose façade of GUM, the city’s most luxurious shopping centre, and visit Alexander’s Garden, with its eternal flame and the chance to watch a changing of the guards.

Break for lunch before continuing on a tour of the Kremlin and Armoury Chamber, famous of its collection of tsarist fashion, with regalia such as jewel-encrusted crowns, orbs and sceptres as well as arms and armour, exotic gifts from the leaders of faraway lands, and an illustrious case of Imperial Faberge eggs.

As an option* spend an evening on a sumptuous dinner cruise, taking in the stunning sights and city lights of this mesmerising metropolis by night.

Day 3 Metro and Arbat Street

Start a day with a tour of Metro, stopping on the way to marvel at some of the most elaborately decorated stations of the world-famous Moscow subway system. Take a stroll along Old Arbat street - the most famous street in Moscow. Through the centuries Arbat used to be one of the most bohemian places in Moscow. Today Arbat is a promenade full of small cozy cafes and street life.

The afternoon is free for you to either enjoy the rest of the day on your own or choose among optional excursions to explore more of Moscow. Visit the Tretyakov Gallery or Pushkin State Museum to admire Russian art. Join locals for a stroll at the Gorky or VDNH park.

Visit beautiful Kolomeskoye Estate or Izmailovo Kremlin, or spend a day exploring the beautiful city of the Golden Ring (Russian province) - Sergiev Posad. In the evening you will be transferred to the airport for your departure to your next destination.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
