Jai was so fun amd made my time with her feel like i was with a friend! The tour was informative and had a relaxed flow. I would recommend this for adults and teens :)
The tour was a lot of fun. Jay was energetic and entertaining. She provided a truly unique experience and we enjoyed learning about the darker side of new orleans.
A great little tour with lots of interesting info. The tour guide (Jai) really knew her history of the place and had an engaging style to her .
Well worth the money.
Our tour guide was amazing. Such a sweet soul and very knowledgeable. Will definitely recommend him and do the tour again!
My husband and I absolutely loved the tour and our awesome guide Elario! Special shout out to Elario, who was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy going. We learned alot about the complexities of the history of voodoo in New Orleans. He also shared some interesting stories and showed us the locations these events took place. Our group was very small and there stops to cool off and hydrate. Highly recommend this tour and experience it with an open mind. Overall 10/10!
This tour felt very authentic, informative, engaging, and fun! Jay did a phenomenal job walking us through different parts of the French Quarter and going into remarkably detailed depth about each story.
Jay was amazing! She showed us all of the amazing history and was very knowledgeable. She was really cool. This was the tour I was most looking forward too and it did not disappoint. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
Elario was a great guide! He was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Would recommend this tour - we got to see unique shops, historical buildings, and hear great stories.
We came as a large combined bachelor/bachelorette party and we had so much fun, even in the downpour rain. Jai was such an incredible tour guide. She’s very knowledgeable and clearly deeply passionate about this history. We learned so much.
This walking guide was a frustrating experience from start to finish. The guide was excessively long-winded, filled with unnecessary details that bogged down the narrative and made it difficult to stay engaged. Instead of concise, clear directions and interesting insights, the content meandered without a clear focus, detracting from the overall purpose of the tour.
The lack of focus was particularly disappointing. Rather than highlighting key landmarks or providing useful historical context, the guide frequently veered off-topic, leaving important information buried under irrelevant commentary. This made following the route confusing and diminished the enjoyment of the walk itself.
Overall, the guide failed to deliver a coherent, engaging, and practical walking experience. It would benefit greatly from a more streamlined approach, concentrating on essential points and clear navigation to truly enhance the tour.
I got to know a side of the city I never would have had I not taken the tour. It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon. I forget my guide's name, but he was the one with all the piercings, and he was awesome. Glad we did this.
It’s the literal best tour! Our tour guide Jai was amazing!!! She was very knowledgeable, funny, and kept us super entertained the whole time.
The experience was amazing! I will definitely be returning! Came with a friend and we both were amazed by everything the tour guide was telling us.
Very informative and included great historical information- took the subject to a deeper place and I left with more understanding and respect!
Fantastic tour and J was such a great guide! She truly loves the city and community and tells a darn good story.
J is the absolute best tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and made the tour so interesting! Also she’s hilarious! I loved her energy! I learned so much on the tour! Highly highly recommend!!!!!
interesting enjoyable way to explore and learn about the city. J was a great tour guide keeping things fun
J was our guide and was amazing. The information was really well framed, it was also fun., J was humorous and engaging, so able to keep everybody listining all the time. J was really good at sensing the group, she created at atmosphere that gave a more entertaining and informational tour
Awesome experience, educational knowledge about the city and it's history. Thankful for having J as our tour guide
The tour was carried out in the streets, walking from place to place. We were only able to hear half of what was said, as the guide kept turning his head from side to side. He may have been knowledgeable, but had dry delivery, even though he was an actor and had just finished a book.
Perhaps I had unrealistic expectations, but we never saw anything thing spooky or strange or very interesting. We never went inside any creepy buildings or heard anything interesting 🤨. Just a history lesson.
Awesome tour. Great Host. Very informative. Nice walking tour with great information. Will definitely do another tour.
We had the guy with the piercings (I forgot his name) he was an awesome tour guide and definitely knew the history of New Orleans and was informative! 10/10 loved it!
Jay is the absolute BESTT !.
She told us she was the most unhinged tour guide in New Orleans and she is absolutely right . Lol . Absolutely LOVEDDDDD The experience!.
Great tour with a lot of interesting information. Noah was a great guide and we enjoyed his enthusiasm.
Hard to hear the tour guide. He was nice and knowledgeable but just couldn’t hear well with the traffic. Could hear other tour guides nearby better. Was disappointed the shop was closed afterwards also because we wanted to look around more. Definitely worth the stop at Harry’s Corner for the ghost buster drink.
Very good, very interesting Kai was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend taking this tour
Our tour guide, Jay, was an absolute gem! She handled the difficult topics and locations with respect and reverence for the victims, while taking a “No B.S” approach to the events and rumors that surround them. We had a small group, and it felt like she got to know everyone to the best of her abilities and made sure to keep the atmosphere serious, yet light. She ended the tour by giving us crystals to help reset after the very dark locations and topics (rose quartz, since love is the best combatant to hate) which showed her care for our spiritual safety. Even though I went in aware of the stories, I had an amazing time! At one point she even took the time to make sure I was enjoying myself (my feet had blistered from poor shoe choice, thus I was very quiet). This was a 10/10 year experience and I appreciated Jay’s approach to the tour!
“J” was amazing! Full of Louisiana energy and soul, just what we were looking for on our first New Orleans trip!
J was an amazing guide! Super entertaining and informative. Wish others on the tour would have been a little more respectful so we could hear better, but that wasn't J's fault.
J was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining during the tour! We had an absolute blast and learned lots of little things about New Orleans witchcraft and Voodoo culture that we wouldn’t have otherwise.
