We had such an incredible time. John was amazing! We got so much factual information as well as the fun spooky side of things. John also gave great food recommendations for allergies. Such a nice guy!

If you are looking for a great tour- stop here!

Jeremy was hands down one of the best ghost tour guides we’ve ever had. His storytelling was captivating from the very first stop, and he struck the perfect balance between history, mystery, and humor. You could tell he has a genuine passion for the city’s haunted past, and he brought every story to life in a way that kept us completely engaged. Beyond being incredibly knowledgeable, Jeremy made everyone feel included and welcome. He took the time to answer questions, shared fascinating details you won’t find in a guidebook, and made the entire experience feel personal rather than scripted. If you’re looking for a ghost tour that’s entertaining, informative, and unforgettable, ask for Jeremy. He truly made the experience special, and he’s a big reason we’ll recommend this tour to anyone visiting. Thanks for an amazing evening, Jeremy!

Operator response

Thank you so much!! We love all the great things our guests say about us but it's always a special honor to get this kind of praise from a seasoned tour vet like yourself. It's great to hear you appreciated all the work we put into crafting an experience that stands out from the rest, including the careful selection of the very best guides in the city (like Jeremy!). Your incredible review and personal recommendation are truly appreciated, and please save some time for one of our other tours the next time you're here!

Not what we expected

Our guide JJ was long winded with his own stories and made the tour all about him. To be honest, I learnt nothing about crime or ghost stories. I would not recommend this tour. Other tour guides may do it differently.

Operator response

Hi Gavin, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not live up to your expectations. We agree that the tours should be about the information and not about the guides, but we would like to get more specific information from you. If you're able, would you please provide further information to manager@hottesthell.com and let us know what you heard instead of our advertised stories, we would greatly appreciate it. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future to show you what we really do, because yes, it can be all about the guide you get and we know we can do better! Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell Tours.

It was a great experience...

It was a great experience love it. Had to shorten it because we were so tired from walking just to get to the event. Streets blocked.

Operator response

Hello Ahleshia! Thank you for the 5-stars! We are thrilled you had a great experience with JJ and are sorry to hear that our streets and city wore you out! Yes we have a lot of streets blocked over the 4th of July weekend in the French Quarter, for the pedestrians safety and for construction. The former we are grateful for and the latter we tolerate, barely. :-) Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell Tours!

Great Story Telling

Jeremy did an amazing job bringing the local history of voodoo, murder, and tragedy come to life. The ghosts of the past are alive on the streets of the French Quarter. Jeremy is a great story teller. Loved it 🫶🏼

Operator response

Thank you so much Matthew! We agree that the past is alive (or undead) and well in New Orleans, and we're thrilled your tour with Jeremy was fun and fascinating. Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!

Exciting tour and Tour Guide was Excellent

If you want to be entertained by learning about the exciting history of New Orleans and the stories that locals have told for over 100 years and be spooked at the same time, buckle up for this tour! Excellent tour guide Doug made this tour our favorite and we highly recommend getting Hellevison with it. You receive a VIP Tour with more stories, small group and you will laugh, gasp and be blown away by the stories!

Operator response

Thank you so much Michelle! It really means a lot to us that your tour stood out as a favorite on your trip, and we agree Doug is the perfect guide to explore some of our city's most notorious moments in history with. Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!

A stellar tour whether you believe in the supernatural or not

An absolutely phenomenal tour. Great for both believers and skeptics. From the believer side you get to see some truly iconic haunted locations and are given wonderfully creepy stories to accompany them. From a skeptic side of things, the historical information presented is fascinating. This is a surprising great way to learn about New Orleans history. I also cannot say enough good things about our specific guide, Jeremy. He was fun, informative, and incredibly charismatic. He brought a perfect blend of goofy humor, informative history, and atmospheric storytelling. Overall this is a great tour, well worth your time.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this review! Fun, informative, and charismatic are ideal traits in any tour guide, and we're thrilled that Jeremy delivered all of that and more on your tour! Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!
