We ended up on a tour by ourselves but sadly we had to bail early due to the heat/humidity. The guide was knowledgeable and theatrical and gave us a quick run through of what we were going to miss so we could explore on our own. Just sorry we had to quit early. We would definitely book again.
Fun learning about history. Plenty of fun. The information given was based on fun facts, history, and cool movie facts. I would have loved to see where some other movie scenes were filmed
Ariadne was a great guide!! Learned a lot with lots of laughs!
Ariadne was a great tour guide, funny, informative and helpful
Christian was our guide and he was great! I can clearly see his love for New Orleans and the work that he does, being a NOLA historian and a liver of the supernatiral. My one critique would be accuracy of the cities history. There was a lot of omission on the presence of black enslaved and the indigenous people. May not be a reflection of Christians but the suggested topics of the tour owners. When I asked direct questions about the people, Christian was able to answer.
This just didn’t live up to expectations. The stories were pretty blah and mostly about grisly murders. It seemed to want to touch on too many supernatural traits like vampires, witches, ghosts but really just mostly spoke about murders that alluded to something mysterious. Overall I would go with another and hopefully it isn’t just about grisly murders
Very good experience. The guide was knowledgeable , friendly and pleasnt
Thorn was an awesome guide. Lots of historical facts, mixed with great story telling. Would definitely recommend. The story of the 300 boxes was incredible.
Thorn was very knowledgeable and funny. He gave us a lot of interesting information while also being entertaining and interacting with us. We enjoyed the tour.
Thorne, while probably sick of our $h!t, was an incredible guide who took our constant jabbering in stride and entertained our most outrageous questions. Knowledgeable and witty, we had a fantastic time!
