Cool crime tour! - Was the most awesome tour I have been on in New Orleans. I love crime history so I figured it would be worth it but the stories were awesome and unique from what you traditionally hear on a tour. Our guide was vibrant, cool and knowledgeable. He was also able to back up his claims with references of where he got the information from, which is important because some tours don't tell the truth. Now we have bunch of new books to read. I recommend this tour highly.

Fantastic Tour - This was one of the best tours I have ever gone on, in any city, hands down. Our guide Jeremy was spectacular- funny, super-duper knowledgeable, and also sensitive to some of the more tragic aspects of the tour. He obviously loves and cares about New Orleans history and the community. I would legit take any tour he guided!

Great tour! - We met Doug right on time. We were the only couple for some reason. I don’t understand why because Doug was a really terrific tour guide. He made the tour ALOT of fun. He was very knowledgeable and really made us laugh too. I would highly recommend this tour and if possible, Doug as your tour guide. Really great value and awesome time to be had.

11/10 MUST DO - 11/10 recommend. Hopefully you’ll get as lucky as us and have Jeremy for a guide. He is a phenomenal teller of history & makes it so easy to get into the stories he is telling. I love that this tour is all factual and Jeremy did a great job of recounting history while keeping to more modern times as well. It’s great for a nice walk around NOLA & getting to know the area. Hands down our favorite tour we did during our visit.

DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS TOUR - I have been to the French Quarter 5 times, yet somehow our tour guide, Ric, managed to give me a completely unique tour experience of some of the notorious crime and hauntings of the French Quarter's history. He did NOT hold back on these stories, which I appreciated. He is a former professor, so each of his stories has a basis in fact rather than rumors and stories. My boyfriend and I stayed behind a little to have a conversation with him, and he was incredibly friendly and an all-around good person. 1000/10!
