Jenna was great! We all enjoyed listening to her talk about various stories. She’s very knowledgeable! And the way she told the stories made us feel like we were actually there when it happened. I highly recommend getting on a tour with her. She’s the Best!!

Wes was amazing! Great tour and great stories. For true crime tours, this one sits at the top with a little bit of every type of crime. Highly recommend!
Wes did an amazing job of talking about the history and bringing some humor into the crime stories. He also gave some amazing tips for places and things to see outside of the immediate tour. Gave great drink suggestions and was overall really fun to have lead this interesting experience!! Highly recommend!
This was such a fun experience and Wes is a very enthusiastic host! 10/10 would tour again
This was a lost minute addition to our itinerary, but I'm so glad we did! Such an amazing tour and our guide Gomez was the best!! He was so enthusiastic and had the best personality and way of story telling. There were so many interesting stories around town, will definitely recommend to others if they're coming to visit.
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.
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.
