Chill and spooky 👻 - Joshua was a cool cat. He clearly knew the history, but wasn't overly theatrical. I appreciated that while he touched on voodou, he admitted it wasn't his culture and refused to spread misinformation.

Great stories - Hubby and I did this tour with our teen daughter and we had so much fun!! Scott was our guide and not only did he have great stories, but he does an amazing job at telling them. It was an enjoyable way to see some of the city and learn its dark history.

More history than folklore - This tour is rooted a bit more in NOLA history than it is folklore. It’s wild how reality is often scarier than fiction. We enjoyed a lot of the older tales tied back into modern times. Joshua is an entertaining guide. I would recommend to anyone who prefers a historical tour over a theatrical one.

Great Tour - Libby is extremely knowledgeable and personable. I really enjoyed our tour. As a native to New Orleans, Libby had a wealth of stories that she had heard about since childhood, which gave the tour a special touch.
