New Orleans VAMPIRE TOUR

Our Vampire Tour explores in depth the legends of Vampires in the city’s streets.  These stories, often told word of mouth by the oldest families predate the novels written in and of the city.  Indeed, they could even predate the founding of the city.  No sparkling vampires here, instead stories of vampire blood-killings, mysterious sightings, strange disappearances, and the old legends of the vampires, a fear that may be one of the oldest held by mankind.  For good reason?  You decide…

Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
• Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

• Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
• Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
• Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
• Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

At Buda castle, the ancient seat of the Hungarian lords, the lantern will guide our way along silent streets and around sinister corners where your narrator will tell  legends and lore , besides cases of  vampirism in old Hungary, which gave birth to myths that lie between fantasy and chilling truth during the darkest periods of the history of Eastern Europe.

Let yourself be guided by a professional storyteller in period costume.

Storyteller

Where to find us

The world of mystery and magic always played a huge part in my life. I grew up on ghost stories and books on mythical creatures. I’m very happy to live in my city, Budapest, a magical place with rich history, folklore, and historical figures: mad kings and hero villains, beautiful women and ugly hags, haunted forests and secret labyrinths. Tales of ghosts, gnomes, and demons roaming our forests and old towns, dragons fly the sky and cause storms, but we have magicians -good and evil alike- to fly up in the sky and battle these dragons. Come to my tour and I will tell you stories!

Since childhood I have often wandered off on my own to discover the unknown, curious about everything. My favourite hobby abroad is to immerse myself in the local history in the most unique way. Every corner in every town in every city has its’ own best stories and luckily the world is too huge to discover them all. Most of the legends are like magic tricks: you want to explain them but you end up just guessing. How and why? True or false? Did it happen or not? Let the magic of mysterious, creepy and grotesque stories amuse you. Brace yourself for enchanting entertainment and discover the unknown legends with me.
