  Jeremy, our tour guide told the stories with so much zest that it makes a vivid impression. You can almost see the stories as they are been told

• Incredible Customer Service

  I'm leaving five stars because of the customer service that I experienced from this company. The day of the scheduled tour, there was a weather alert with temperatures set to reach a heat index of 109 in New Orleans. I'm *sure* they have language that would protect them from such things and they could have kept the $74 from my wife and I. When I reached out in the morning, they processed the refund without hesitation. I was hopeful, but not expecting a full refund based on experiences with other companies. This was incredibly refreshing, and while I can't speak about the tour (I'll let the other reviewers do that), I can say that this is a company I would encourage people to deal with because of how they handled this situation with understanding.

  My wife thought it was going to be scary only to find out about the dark and fascinating history of NOLA. Our guide Doug was very knowledgeable and entertaining. If you like history, this tour is worth it!

  7 hours ago New One of my favorite ways to enjoy a new-to-me city is to take a haunted history tour. Chicago, San Diego, Baltimore, Grass Valley, Virginia City, and Boston. I’ve done four in New Orleans so far, and I can say with certainty that tonight’s True Crime tour with Doug was one of the best I’ve had the privilege to attend. Doug’s acting skills gave the tales of the darker history of New Orleans a fun boost of energy. Most of the stories we heard were ones I hadn’t heard previously, and I look forward to taking some of Doug’s additional tours in the future (when it’s not summer. My California weather wimp ways are showing). If you are a true crime history buff, or want to hear well-researched tales that are more than “they say…” kind of yarns, check out Doug on the Hottest Hell Tours!

  This was a great tour. I thought I knew a lot about dark NOLA but this was all new to me! Jeremy was amazingly knowledgeable and an awesome guide. Can’t wait to take another tour in October!

  Ricardo is an amazing storyteller. He is quick-witted and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and stories of the local area. He is engaging, giving all the details while knowing how to read a crowd. If you are looking for a great tour this is a GREAT choice.

  We took an enhanced version of this really cool tour and had a fantastic experience! I believe it was Waking the Devil's Empire with a great tour guide Jeremy. He had a small projector to show us historical slides of who/what/where at different stops. Really heightened the experience so I wasn't busy Googling people and looking at my phone half the time. It was a lot of historical information and local lore but he told the stories in an order that made it all come together throughout. I appreciate the references to movie/tv locations and celebrity owners of buildings. He also gave advice for local haunts & supernatural customs to explore beyond the tour. Jeremy knew his stuff, wasn’t looking at notes, or the phone for prompts, and answered even the silliest questions after each stops presentation. Kept it serious but with some dark humor. While this is not a ghost hunting experience, I brought an EMF detector and ohhhh did some of those spots pop! IYKYK There's a reason folks stay across the street at a few locations. Specifically important to me, I have hearing issues, but was still able to understand everything Jeremy was telling us, even with the street noise. Souvenir business/tarot card also a very very nice touch. Can’t wait to go back and try the Garden District Anne Rice/True Crime tour on our next visit. PROS- Very personable and well-spoken tour guide Well-paced with a bathroom break and time for questions after. Good for both believers and non-believers. Excellent visuals. A bit graphic and gory. CONS- So many tours on the streets at once, it was hard to get a spot right in front of Marie Laveau’s house. Maybe mid-week would be better rather than busy Friday night. Not super ADA accessible if you need that, not a ton of walking but standing for extended periods of time. A bit graphic and gory, lol, not for faint of heart.
