Fun tour and we learned all kinds of interesting facts!! - My husband and I took this tour on SAT/2 AUG and it was fantastic. Our guide was so knowledgeable and even though the city was crazy busy due to the LGBTQ Canal Parade, he still managed to get us all through the Red Light District. We saw ALL kinds of interesting things and learned all about the history of the District. I highly recommend this tour!

Awesome tour by Sanders! - Sanders was the perfect tour guide. Not only did he give a great tour of the red light district, but he packed in lots of very interesting historical information about the city we would never have thought to ask, all with a great sense of humor and personality. Ask for Sanders!

Disappointing tour ☹️ - This was not such a great tour. We only had 5 in our group but the guide walked and talked without everyone there. He was hard to hear and we found the tour disappointing.

Rude guide - The guide who led our tour, a man, was extremely rude and disrespectful, making us feel uncomfortable throughout the entire experience. He also made inappropriate comments directed at me. I reported the issue to the activity provider two weeks ago via chat, but I have not received any response.
