The adults-only true...

The adults-only true crime tour was one of the most captivating experiences I’ve had in New Orleans. The stories were gripping, unsettling, and filled with chilling details that will stick with you long after the tour ends. If you’re a true crime fan, this is the kind of tour that will leave you looking over your shoulder on the walk back. The guide did an incredible job bringing each case to life with fascinating historical context and engaging storytelling. It was equal parts informative, haunting, and unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys the darker side of history.

Fun and Engaging

This was one of the best tours of the swamps. There were a lot of alligators and other wildlife. We had the Swamp Ninja for our guide. My daughters got to feed the raccoons that were out there. Loved the history of the area and the information about the houses on the water and the impact of the hurricanes. These New Orleans swamp tours are awesome!

Worth every penny!

This was a very informative tour of New Orleans. Bob packed the tour with interesting info about the city, and the effect of Hurrican me Katrina. He pointed out good restaurants to visit and helped me check 2 other boxes - eating beignets at Cafe du Monde (truly the best in the city!) and seeing the oak tree lined famed Charleston Avenue homes. The tour was well worth the price!
