Kinda boring

We found the tour pretty disappointing. It was really pretty vanilla, containing mostly well-known stories. I’m not sure if what was “adults-only” about. Also, our guide was not engaging, not adding any real punch to the stories.

Very informative - fun

Excellent tour! Elaine was an amazing guide-knowledgeable, entertaining, and full of fascinating stories. The mix of New Orleans history, ghost tales, and true crime made for a fun & informative evening. She kept the group engaged the entire time and shared details we never would have learned on our own. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Orleans!

Operator response

Hi Catherine! Yes! Informative is what we aim for and we are thrilled that you found the tour that and so much more! Elaine is one of our highest rated guides and just about everyone who tours with her loves her engaging and fun approach! We sincerely appreciate the recommendation and thank you for choosing Hottest Hell Tours!

Okay experience

This was more informative than I thought ot would be rather than a spooky experience. The tour guide did a good job but I expected spookier things rather than just recounting of a few places where bad things happened, historically.

Operator response

Hi Kelly, Yes! Our tours are in fact informative. Seems like it would be a waste of ours and your time to just make up a bunch of stories in order to scare our guests. That's not why we are in business and we will never be the company that ignores history in favor of fake jump scares. We are sorry that you didn't catch that that's how we do things! We are glad you enjoyed the guide, regardless.

Our travel guide was John. He was the best- funny, great story teller, loud so we could hear him and answered any all questions. You can tell he definitely loves doing his job.

We had a great time even with it being hot as heck...lol it was very educational from beginning to end.

Operator response

Thank you Tiana!! We really appreciate guests who are willing to brave Swamp Season(TM) to spend some time with us, and we're delighted to hear that Doug make it worth the effort for your crew. Thank you for choosing Hottest Hell Tours, and for taking the time to share this with everyone! We'd love to have any or all of you back for one of our other tours someday!

Great energy!

Doug was an outstanding tour guide. It was clear that he has thoroughly researched the history and culture of the areas he tours, and his knowledge brought each location to life. He has incredible energy, a great sense of humor, and kept the entire group engaged from start to finish. I especially appreciated the way he spoke about Marie Laveau. He presented her life, work, and legacy with respect, thoughtfulness, and authenticity. His portrayal honored both the historical figure and the cultural significance she continues to hold today. I truly believe Marie Laveau herself would have been pleased with the care and reverence with which Doug shared her story.

Operator response

Thank you Kendra!! It's reviews like this that validate all the effort we put into not only having the most thorough and historically accurate stories, but also the best storytellers in the city to bring them to life. You've done a fantastic job of describing what makes any stroll with Doug so special. Thanks for choosing Hottest Hell Tours, and especially for helping to get the word about Doug and our tours! Whenever you're ready to dive in to the subject even more, sure to check out our Gates of Guinee Voodoo history tour, which Doug wrote and developed himself!
