I wish that I could remember our tour guides name because he was absolutely amazing. His level of the history in the area was superb, as well as his storytelling! This is not the trip where you’re gonna learn about all the fluffy vampires and old wise tales. It was much more factual based, which I very much appreciated. We went on September 4th @ 8pm, there was a lot going on, but we moved around the city with relative ease and it was by far my favorite tour of the five that we did!

Loved our experience with Evan. He did his research and had an amazing knack for storytelling (especially the haunted kind). We learnt about the city and some gory history. Definitely recommend

I was in town for a work conference and my friends happened to be in town for their anniversary. We decided to meet up and do some fun sight seeing since we haven't seen each other in over 3 yrs. They booked this tour and it was wonderful. Evan was our guide and his knowledge of the history of New Orleans (specifically French Quarter) was so impressive. I really appreciated that. Give this handsome devil a raise!! The group was small compared to other tour company's I witnessed that night and it made it more intimate and personal. I recommend this tour and specifically Evan as the guide to anyone wanting to learn some of the most infamous French Quarter stories.
