Adults Only - Historic Red Light District Walking Tour

Overview
If you’re looking for something less familiar than “haunted history”—but just as entertaining—this daytime journey through the sex, class, and music of “Storyville”, our historic “vice district”, is just what the witch doctor ordered. Populated with legendary brothel owners, notorious criminals, crusaders for equality, and pioneering jazz virtuosos, this is a stroll through some of the most jaw-dropping history the state of Louisiana has to offer.

Thanks to the miraculous work of city archivists, as well as historians like the one who curated our tour, Hottest Hell is now able to resurrect this forgotten neighborhood through a combination of historic photographs, visual aids, and narrative storytelling. Each tour guests receives their own “blue book” - modeled after the printed ‘guides to gals’ that ‘Tenderloin’ visitors could purchase - to help better see what was lost when Storyville was replaced.

Our tours go out rain or shine. Intoxicated travelers will not be permitted.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on this tour. The tour guide Christo was extremely knowledgeable and a great storyteller. If you love history and learning about the dark side of history this tour is for you. It covers life in the red light district in New Orleans and the historical characters of that time. Most of these buildings no longer exist but Christo brings that stories to life with great visual aids and his enthralling story telling skills. I absolutely recommend this tour!

Thank you Crystal!! We're really glad you enjoyed our new "Backatown" tour and its lesser-known stories about our own little sin city right here in New Orleans. Christo truly loves bringing that history to life for our guests and we really appreciate your fantastic review and recommendation!
