Alleen voor volwassenen: New Orleans Ghost-, Crime-, Voodoo- en Vampire-tour

Thank you Robin!! We know that the most important part of the tour is the guide, and JJ is a pro at making every one special and unique. It's great to hear you enjoyed your time with him so much and your review and personal recommendation are greatly appreciated! Please save some time for one of our other tours whenever you make it back to New Orleans!

Thank you Diana!! We've often said that Doug is one of the best storytellers in the whole city, and the best test of that is when you get to compare his majick to others in person like that. We truly appreciate your 5-star review, and hope you'll come take another walk with us soon!

Hi Karie, we're sorry to hear you were uneasy after the tour, and while we understand it can be unsettling to be in an unfamiliar place at night, you concerns about your safety there are unwarranted. We always end the tour at the same location we provide with your booking details, near the intersection of Ursulines Ave and Royal St, neither of which are side streets, and we would never put our guests, or guides, in danger. That portion of the French Quarter is also much safer than others such as the heart of Bourbon St. Our guides are also happy to direct to guests towards their next destination. Any visitor to New Orleans should note that the only time Ubers won't drive into the French Quarter is when it's as crowded with foot traffic, as it was on the night you were with us last week.

Thank you Ashley!! "Kilted Weirdo" is just one of the many titles Doug proudly carries, along with other favorites like "bard" and "raconteur." As you got to see, his passion and talents for bringing the true history New Orleans was built on to life is what makes any stroll with him a special experience. Thanks so much for the incredible review, and we'd love to have you back for one of our other tours someday!

Hi Paula! Thank you for the 5-stars! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time with Doug and found him to be the best storyteller ever! We love hearing when our guests feel that they learned so much! We appreciate the recommendation and thank you for choosing Hottest Hell Tours!

Liz: We seem to have a problem here. And the problem is this: You think you know more than you do. For the sake of future guests, I’m going to keep this reply as succinct as possible but boy oh boy, do you have a lot to learn. Let’s start with “grown up theatre kid wearing his burning man skirt.” That’s not just a theatre kid, that’s a SAG-AFTRA member who has more credits to his name than you have IQ points. “Zero history” Pffft. I think not. You do know he was wearing a body cam and we have the entire tour recorded, right? This Company is owned by a former history professor. We’re going to come back to that in a few… “Woke-washed”. What? Tell me you can’t handle the truth without telling me you can’t handle the truth of the past. “Leftist politics” Did you miss the part where you learned New Orleans is democratic/left? (Rhetorical question, but I’m going to answer it for you because you need to know the lies you’ve been previously told). That tour you took in 1999 that was so cheap? It’s 2026, Liz. That was 27 years ago. What, we’re begging you to tell us, has remained the same exact price since then? Are you sure you were old enough to even take this tour???? I can’t imagine anyone grown who doesn’t understand basic economics. And let’s talk about that tour, too. A considerable amount of that tour was not based on actual historical record. Let me guess…you learned about placage, were told everyone got along in this 3-tiered society and even Free People of Color owned Enslaved people (we don’t say slaves anymore, Liz, they were humans who were enslaved), and the Creoles (not “mixed race,” race is social construct that came out of white supremacy, Liz, don’t you know that?) I’m sure you heard some stories about “quadroons” and “octaroons” (problematic words today) and by the way, New Orleans is in the South, but it’s not “the south.” New Orleans, historically, is nothing like any other city in the United States. The World Monument Fund just determined that New Orleans is the ONLY irreplaceable city in the entire country. And that city, has been predominantly Afro-American since the 1800’s. Oooo, yeah, and my favorite, I bet you were told we bury people above ground because of the water line and flooding? Am I right? Guess what, Liz? That’s not true. We bury above ground because that’s how the Spanish did it and we were under Spanish rule when our first above ground cemetery, St. Louis #1, was built. We buried in the ground prior to that. Water line and flooding have nothing to do with it. Now, you’re probably thinking, how could I possibly know all this? Before I was the owner of Hottest Hell Tours, I was a tour guide, and while I’ve been a tour guide I went an earned some advanced degree that allowed me to do REAL research (in the archives kind, not google) and in that process I discovered that some of the stories proliferated through the French Quarter by tour guides with other companies are entirely made up! So, once I headed to graduate school, I decided to do better. The city needed a Company solely focused on historical accuracy, otherwise, people like you were always going to come along and think that some made up story they heard 27 years ago is the hard line truth. So, that’s how I know all the things you were told that were probably wrong. I’m sure they got some things right, Yellow Fever is a hard story to mess up. And, that’s how I know you’re full of it when talking about Doug, who was wearing a kilt, not a skirt and who has never attended burning man in his life. But hey, you knew that right? Because you learned so much about everything 27 years ago on a cheap tour? Right.
