Amazing experience—definitely a highlight of our New Orleans trip! The guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and brought the city’s ghost, crime, and voodoo history to life. The adults-only vibe made it even more immersive and fun. Perfect mix of spooky and fascinating. Highly recommend!

Jamie_J, Mar 2026
There is alot of walking, but very good stories and they stop for a drink stop if you wish to enjoy one while you walk on the tour. Our guide, John was very knowledgeable and kept the tour on time and together.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much Jamie! We always appreciate guests who drink responsibly. Jon's vast knowledge of New Orleans history could easily make this tour twice as long, but we try our best to pack in as much info as we can in the limited amount of time we have.
Teri_D, Mar 2026
Had the most entertaining and informative tour tonight with Jeremy. Cannot recommend this tour enough. It was the highlight of my trip!

Thank you so much Teri! Jeremy's tours are always the perfect balance of entertaining and informative, and it means a lot to us that his tour was the highlight of your trip. Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!
JudithAlexis_C, Mar 2026

Kristy_B, Mar 2026
The history telling and the various stories that have evolved throughout the years were very interesting. Ricardo did a phenomenal job with leaving the “how” it happened up to us which is actually more thrilling! We had a great time and he was thoughtful of our time and gave us a break when needed!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much Kristy! Ricardo is a seasoned tour guide means who never fails the perfect balance of in-depth information and good vibes at an accessible pace. We're thrilled you enjoyed your tour with him and we thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!
Patricia_H, Mar 2026
You learn a lot about the history of New Orleans, especially the French quater area. Yhe guides are very knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much Patricia! We firmly believe the truth of our history is always more interesting than anything we could make up, and we're glad you had a blast deep-diving into our city's oldest neighborhood. Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!
John_W, Mar 2026
More of a Crime, Voodoo history tour. Not much about ghosts, some Vampire lore. Tour Guide was okay.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi John, thanks for sharing your feedback and we're sorry to hear the tour didn't meet your expectations. We try to make it clear in the description of this tour, as well as the title, that it's a sampler platter of the most popular subjects rather than a deep dive into any one of them. It's our aim to give each of them equal space in the time we have available and that's why we don't spend more time on the supernatural stories than any of the others. There's plenty of "ghost stories" to be found in the French Quarter and we hope you were able to scratch that itch while you were here!
Yolanda_J, Mar 2026
Elaine was a great guide! Very informative, great speaker & extremely entertaining. Easy to find guides which was a huge bonus.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you Yolanda!! We picked that meeting spot specifically for the beautiful backdrop as well as how easy it makes it to find us! It's great to hear that you enjoyed Elaine's storytelling so much, and your 5-star review is greatly appreciated. Be sure to check out our other tours too whenever you're ready for more!
Whitney_M, Mar 2026
Cute! Great stories and story teller! We went at 8pm and enjoyed it. The evening vibe is where it’s at! Recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi Whitney! Anyone who thinks ghosts and vampires are "cute" are our kind of people! If not friend, why friend shaped, right? We are thrilled you enjoyed your time with us and sincerely appreciate the recommendation! Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell Tours!
Zosia_P, Mar 2026
The guide waited for me when I was running a little late and made sure he caught me up on the story I had missed the beginning of, which was very kind. My only complaint is the tour was too short!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi Zosia! We love to hear it when our guides really make the experience special for our guests! We wish we could go longer too, but the city prohibits us being on the streets after 10pm! We sincerely appreciate the 5 stars and thank you for choosing Hottest Hell Tours!
Madeline_E, Mar 2026
The Adults-Only Ghost, Crime, Voodoo, and Vampire tour was a great premise but the tour was slightly disappointing. We only visited 5-6 stops on the 2 hour tour and the stories were a little underwhelming. The tour could benefit from a smaller tour area or telling stories while we walked. More history and background covering New Orleans, the French Quarter, and characters like Bienville would also have been appreciated.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hi Madeline, Thank you for your feedback. We do have about 6 stops but some of those stops include more than one story. We cannot tell stories while we walk due to noise and crowd levels. You might have visited on a slower day and so that might not have been clear. By law, we are not allowed to use any voice projecting tools so attempting to tell stories to a group of 20 people would be near impossible while we walked.
We are thrilled that you want more history but we already get guests who think the tour is "too much history" and feel we are already walking the line of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable for a history-themed supernatural tour.
Bienville is not a ghost, a vampire, a Voodoo practicioner, or connected to a true crime story so his inclusion on this tour would be outside the scope of what we advertise this tour to be.
We recommend you seek out a pure history tour the next time you are in town (we will offer one soon) rather than a tour with a supernatural (albeit historical) focus.
If there's anything else you'd like to add, please feel free to email us directly at manager@hottesthell.com.
We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in New Orleans.
Jules_C, Mar 2026
So much fun and so educational! The Hellvision was such a fun extra component. Ricardo was an amazing and engaging guide!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much Jules! We agree that HELLVISION is the perfect touch to bring history to life, along with Ricardo's fun and engaging storytelling style. Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!
Sandra_S, Mar 2026
The tour was very interesting and gave a lot of info about the history and start of New Orleans, as well as amazing facts about the places we visited. Jeremy was enthusiastic and full of knowledge, friendly and made the tour even better. I would suggest to future tourists, because it is 1 hr 45 min. Eat before, bring a water and good walking shoes.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much Sandra! We agree that the best way to take our tours is hydrated, fed, and wearing comfortable walking shoes! Jeremy's knowledge and enthusiasm makes him a top-notch tour guide and we're thrilled you had a blast on your tour with him. Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!

Fun and interesting but had a weird group join but James handled it great! Insightful and creepy as well.

Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much Terry! The Professor is just as knowledgeable as he is talented and we're so glad your tour with him was entertaining and engaging. Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!
Amanda_W, Mar 2026
We had Nikki as our tour guide and she was great! She kept the group entertained, while safe from the road. Wish the tour company had better organizational skills with sorting into groups. As well as not letting super drunk people on the tour! It shouldn’t be on the guide to kick them off. Nikki slayed!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much Amanda! We're glad you had a great time on your tour with Nikki. We have a strict policy against allowing drunk guests on our tours, so this feedback is useful and we have addressed the issue internally. Management does our best to ensure the guides don't have to kick off drunk guests but sometimes it doesn't happen till halfway through the tour when the alcohol catches up to them. We're glad you still enjoyed your tour with Nikki regardless, and we appreciate your honest feedback. Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!
Amanda_S, Mar 2026
We enjoyed all the spooky stories and locations. James was awesome and had a great attitude! He was able to provide key detail to all of the questions we had.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much Amanda! James is a wealth of knowledge, and we're thrilled you learned a lot and had a blast on your tour with him! Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell!

We had mad fun with John. He was a great story teller. It wasn't what I was expecting but I would recommend others to take the tour.

Anna_B, Mar 2026
Very clear, very enthusiastic and fun. Alaine was a great tour guide. Very personable, peppy and enjoyed chatting with her.

Absolutely fantastic!!! My guy! Did a phenomenal job presenting the history of his home. Will be back to do it again.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you Cody! Like several of our guides, Ricardo (who you were with last night) is a native of New Orleans, which adds an authentic flavor to the stories as well as context that you can only get from someone who has lived here their whole lives. Thanks for choosing Hottest Hell and for posting this awesome review! Let us know when you're ready to join us again so we can get you connected with Ricardo again on one of our other tours!
Angie_D, Mar 2026
Very knowledgeable guide and had great enthusiasm about the history of NOLA. Made it interesting and we felt very safe with him out at night in the area. Thank you, Jeremy!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank YOU Angie!! Jeremy is definitely something special, and he's known for taking great care of our guests while he entertains and educates them with the best stories from the city's dark past. Thanks so much for the fantastic review!
Olivia_A, Mar 2026
Super fun and informative tour!! James was a great guide. Covered a variety of topics related to NOLA and learned more about some of its history.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you Olivia!! James is the latest addition to the Hottest Hell family and he's already becoming a favorite with our guests. His charming personality and long history entertaining visitors to New Orleans are big parts of what makes him such a great guide and we're glad you enjoyed your walk with him so much. Thanks for sharing this with everyone, please come back for one of our other tours someday!
Devon_P, Mar 2026
I found the tour to be very interesting rather than scary. Our guide Doug was a very enthusiastic story teller that kept my attention. He was very knowledgeable & I love that he educated us on the Voodoo religion since movies have depicted it as evil when it is anything but. I really enjoyed the tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you Devon!! There's nothing Doug loves more than speaking truth to the many falsehoods that are often perpetuated about Voodoo and we're glad you appreciated his passion for sharing that with our guests. Your 5-star review is greatly appreciated, and we hope you'll save some time for one of our other tours the next time you visit!
Jessica_T, Mar 2026
Doug was a great storyteller and it is clear that he has researched and is passionate about the history of NOLA. I highly recommend this tour with him.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you Jessica!! Doug is a storytelling machine who can drop interesting facts about any New Orleans story you can think of, and many more you've never heard of. Thanks for the awesome review, and please check out our other tours too whenever you have the chance!
