Wesley had great energy and was truely an amazing story teller. You can tell he loves what he does. The content went well with each place and the local bars he chose were excellent!
Rick_S, Dec 2025
The guide did a great job mixing the history of NOLA with his own experiences in the city. The bars he selected were local favorites and not the usual tourist traps.
Karen_B, Nov 2025
We've been coming to New Orleans for decades and always try a tour or two. Wesley was by far the best guide we've had. He's a natural story teller and has a great sense of humor, making his tour an outstanding evening.

Jenna was great! We were running late and she made sure to stay in communication with us to be able to catch up with the group. I was worried it would be the same ol true crime facts i’ve read/known about but she actually dropped alot more info that I thought! The little bars along the way were so cool (be sure to bring cash!!) we had a VERY chatty couple with us and Jenna did great being loud enough for the rest of the group and keeping the conversation on topic. 10/10 would recommend

We did the true crime tour with Gomez who was an excellent guide and very informative. We ended up being the only ones on the tour so he gave us a tailored experience, with not just true crime but all of New Orleans. Highly recommend!
Jamie_C, Jul 2025
Jamie was a fabulous tour guide! Informative, sweet and truly helpful. Can tell she’s passionate about her city.

Gomez was an amazing guide and gave us a totally unique experience that incorporated his own personal inputs. He took us to some great bars and recommend some really nice cocktails along the way. His stories were always backed up with his sources and ensured we were very well informed about each crime.

Had Gomez as my tour guide again as I took another tour of his the other day and was so happy to see him again and he immediately recognised me. You can tell he loves his job which makes the experience better and loved the end with the singing!
Robert_C, Mar 2025
Gomez was fantastic, brought in a personal touch to the great stories. Would join him any other tour
Gayle_P, Feb 2025
D.J. was an amazing tour guide. He made the entire experience fun and interesting while providing bits of history that we were unaware of. Highly recommend this tour!
CARLY_W, Feb 2025
Games the tour guide was fantastic! He personalized the tour for us, told great stories, and showed us why he loves new orleans. We had a small group and everybody was fun and friendly.
Christina_L, Jan 2025
I’ve been on two Ghose Tours in NOLA, and the True Crime Pub Crawl was different, informative, and shed a new light on some already familiar “true crime stories.” Gomez was very entertaining and knew his information! He kept his group engaged and interactive!
Susan_Z, Dec 2024
Very fun! Highly recommend! If you like good storytelling and true crime, this is the tour for you! 6-7 stops! Learned about the town of New Orleans!
Carol_K, Dec 2024
Jamie was a great guide! We enjoyed learning a lot about the True Crime lore in the Quarter. Jamie was very knowledgeable and made it fun!
Abigail_H, Dec 2024
Jamie was a wonderful tour guide! She was super knowledgeable and very obviously had a passion for the city. She did an amazing job of sharing the history behind our tour stops while also respecting the victims. She even made a point to remember everyone’s names and gave me restaurant recommendations! She was the best part of the tour.
Laura_F, Nov 2024

Wes was an incredibly good tour guide. Very knowledgeable and so fun! Best tour of New Orleans so far.
Christian_B, Sep 2023
Wes was a great tour guide! Talked about Zack and Addie murder-suicide crime, the murders that have occurred on the 700 Ursuline Ave Block, the Axe Man crimes, and multiple more.
It was a great time that ended with him buying the whole group shots. Wonderful experience!
George_T, Sep 2023
If you're looking to learn the real gruesome stories, complete with all the gory details, this is the tour for you! Wes is an excellent guide and the pub crawl takes you to bars you probably wouldn't find on your own. If I visit NOLA again, I'd take this tour again.
Daniel_M, Sep 2023
Wes was a great tour guide. Seemed like the “True Crime aspect” turned into the haunted ghost tours, with the last two stops on the tour being very heavily influenced by hauntings and curses. Drinks were okay would have preferred more frozen drink options in the “turn your clothes into a swamp” weather New Orleans is known for.
NAKIA_W, Aug 2023
Wes did an amazing job, explaining everything, including the drinks of choice at each stop.
Highly recommend this tour to locals and tourists alike
Anita_N, Jul 2023
Richard was a great tour guide. Was not rushed. Loved the stories and trying new drinks. Was able to spend enough time at each stop.
Andrea_Z, Jun 2023
Our tour guide was Wes, he was wonderful! He was so funny and knowledgeable. The overall tour was very interesting with gruesome details. Not for everyone, but if you are a true crime junkie I highly recommend.
Virginia_M, Apr 2023
Tour was so much fun. Richard is an awesome tour guide! Kept us entertained with stories, very knowledgeable. Everyone had a blast. Definitely not for non-drinkers!
Michele_B, Nov 2022
It was interesting, but it didn’t go to a few places advertised, and it seemed like some parts were rushed and others too long. But interesting (and inexpensive).
Dawn_S, Nov 2022
So much fun! We immediately wanted to do it again! Tour guide, Wes, made it a good time for everyone. Met some nice people.
Betsy_W, Oct 2022
Wes was a great guide! Very interactive with our group and answered all of our questions, seemed to really know his stuff!
