Neil is an absolutely outstanding and knowledgeable tour guide! We learned so much about the creepy haunted historic parts of the French Quarter. My partner is a skeptic when it comes to ghosts and Neil was almost able to convince him! Since it was a private tour he was able to personalize it to our interests which made it an even better experience. My favorite part was when we conducted our own mini ghost hunting session by taking pictures of orbs. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an educational and entertaining evening!

We had such a good time! Neil was super knowledgeable about the history of NOLA along with all of the creepy ghost stories. I’m not a believer in ghosts myself but my partner is and she and Neil had a good time trying to convince me. It was hysterical! Overall a really cool and fun tour that took us to some interesting parts of the French Quarter.

One of my favorite walking tours! Nola has such an amazing and unique history and this was such a fun way to explore them. Whether you’re a history buff or just want to see a few things you would have missed otherwise, this is a fantastic introduction to the crazy history of New Orleans and the reason it holds a special place in the formation of this country. Grab a friend, a cocktail, some comfortable shoes, and enjoy a great night surrounded by secret windows, dubious dealings, and the “seedier” side of history!

One of the best tours in town! Whether you’re a history buff or just here for the cocktails, Pepe’s tour has something for you. From corrupt politicians to heroic pirates, Pepe expertly weaves historical fact and folklore in a way that connects his audience to a truly authentic feeling of what is meant when we say New Orleans. His knowledge and passion for the fascinating - and often jaw-dropping - history of the city will have you signing up for more. What an unforgettable way to connect to this worldly city!

This was the best tour! Our guide, Neil, was super knowledgeable and engaging. We wanted a little bit of everything, and he delivered. He customized our tour based on our interests, and we loved how he mixed in ghosts, history, crime, and vampires. We even got some cool orb pics. I would highly recommend doing this tour! So fun!
