New Orleans Voodoo Tour - Went on a Voodoo Tour with Juliet and had an amazing time. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the religion and the city of New Orleans' part in its formation. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in this very misunderstood faith's workings and its backstory. 10/10

Juliet walking Voodoo Tour - Juliet was an outstanding tour guide for our voodoo tour in New Orleans! She brought the history and mystique of the city to life with passion, knowledge, and just the right amount of humor. Her storytelling was captivating, blending folklore, culture, and historical facts in a way that kept everyone engaged. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does—and it made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend taking the tour with Juliet!

A toast to Toast - I finally completed all of the chores with the guide Toast! He is completely informative and fun. I have been taking his tours for 6 or 7 years. I've been on tours with multiple guides but none of them are nearly as passionate about New Orleans history than he is. I first met him on a tour in 2019 when I was in town doing some real estate continuing education classes with a fellow agent. It was the pub crawl. He did a great job navigating people who didn't speak English well, people who were highly inebriated already, and people who just weren't paying attention and didn't care about the tour. We didn't hit all of the spots because some of the other people slowed us down. Even though I tried to help him wrangle them in, it was a lost cause. We offered to buy him a drink and I learned that he was sober which was really cool as he was giving a pub crawl tour. We always try to book whatever tour he is doing whenever I am in town. I actually did two tours this past trip with him. On May 20th I did The Vampire Tour at 8:30 and then on May 23rd I turned around and did the Voodoo tour. I did the Vampire tour years ago with a guide named Marilyn, who was a bit lackluster and talked trash about Anne Rice... I then did The Vampire Tour again with Toast in February of 2020, right before the world shut down and it was much better. The cemetery Tour by him was my absolute favorite, just seeing all of the history there and him explaining where phrases come from. I also really like that he carries his iPad around and will show you newspaper articles to prove the validity of the stories. If you're going to New Orleans, you should book with Toast and Toast alone I also like to bring all of my friends on his tours and anyone who's to going to New Orleans to look for what tours toast is hosting. I think if he ever leaves Haunted History Tours it would be a sad day. I'm not a woman who gives reviews on several things. I definitely don't give negative reviews, which means I don't typically give positive, however, his knowledge and passion is definitely worth taking a few minutes to leave this review. You guys have a gem. Because you'll definitely made bank off of me😅

It was an average tour. ... - It was an average tour. Nothing spectacular. It wasn't exciting or scary even though it was an adult only tour; I'm not sure why.
