Bob is the best! Homes of the Rich and Famous tour - Bob gave a fabulous Homes of the Rich and Famous tour! The Garden District is beautiful to walk through, but having Bob’s anecdotes, personal stories, historical legends, and witty banter made going through this neighborhood very special. Bob had great personal recommendations and he even sold many of us on eating at the meeting spot cafe! You won’t want to miss the chance to see these beautiful homes, picturesque scenery, and I great tour guides. Haunted History Tours hits it out of the park! Thank you, Bob, for a fantastic time!! Hopefully the Saints get a quarterback soon!!

Thorn the tour man - Thorn was fantastic and very easy going. The pace of tour was great. Gave us time to take pictures of rhe beautiful homes and answer questions we had about area and state. The friends and I learned a lot especially about Mardi Gras. Only regret was not asking about his tattoos. :)
