I took the 'Backatown' tour in May 2021 when I was visiting NOLA; Christo was the tour guide. Everything about the tour was phenomenal! One advantage I personally had given that it was on a weekday morning is that I was the only one on the tour, so it was easy to hear the tour guide, easy to keep up, etc; being the nerd that I am, I could ask as many questions as I wanted! It wasn't overly-crowded (as I was the only one), there were no other 'drunk tourists' or distracting people to detract from the experience, etc. On top of that, Christo was highly knowledgable about this fascinating aspect of New Orleans' history, and the tour information itself was riveting. The red booklet provided offered great insight and was a good visual aid to accompany the facts & stories presented on the tour. If you're interested in learning about NOLA's redlight history between 1897 and 1917 (ish), I'd highly recommend this tour. I personally am not aware of any other tour operators who offer a tour like this, and it's a cool alternative to your campy "ghost tour/haunted" tour which are a dime-a-dozen. While those are fun in their own right, this particular tour is a gem as it offers insight to a period of NOLA's history pertaining to sex, brothels, jazz music, drugs, etc... which is a large part of the city's history!
