13.Santa and The Rougarou’s Creepy Christmas Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · 1 hour · from $79

Review of Mississippi’s Santa and the Rougarou Creepy Christmas Cruise, with spooky storytelling, bayou scenery, pricing, tips, and family guidance.

“We did both the walking tour and the boat tour. I’d suggest the walking tour. The boat tour is pretty expensive and it’s just through the bayou, not much to see but grass. The walking tour was fun, the history is great but the best part is the cemetery. I could do with less theatrics, the history, the cemetery and being in the dark make it scary, the theatrics, while entertaining, actually takes away from the creepiness. I’ll come back for a history tour for sure.”
