This is a tour for adults only (17+). I don't pull punches on the grim and gory details of the stories you'll hear. This tour explores the disturbing secrets and truths about New Orleans, going back to the founding of the colony. We will meet at the entrance of The Jazz Museum (the Old U.S. Mint), and descend into the French Quarter to discuss tales of prostitution, witchcraft, New Orleans' most gruesome murder, and a ghostly, ever-changing parade of New Orleans’ most wicked characters. You’ve heard rumor of the ‘The Dim Corner’ - now immerse yourself in its disturbing truth. The tour covers approximately a mile of distance over 1.5 hours, but you won't be counting steps. There will be no less than seven stops of haunted sites and former crime scenes. These stories are unlike any other tour for the simple fact that we dive deep into the specific details of some of the goriest stories New Orleans has to offer. Which is why this is an adult only experience. If you want a PG-13 experience with kids, my tour is not for you. Groups are always 14 people or less. This tour is especially for aficionados of New Orleans who already know all about the LaLaurie Mansion and are looking to dive deeper into America’s Most Haunted City.

We then roll under the shade of the live oak tree lined streets of the Garden District. You will marvel at the beautiful mansions owned by wealthy merchants of the past and celebrities of the present. Time permitting, we will cruise through the Irish Channel to see its colorful shotgun houses, neighborhood restaurants, and hole-in-the-wall po’boy shops.
