Let me tell you about my boy, Richard! My mom and I took this tour on a weekday night on a day where no one else joined, and we had a BLAST. Our guide Richard is very knowledgeable about the history of New Orleans. He's historical, personable, and appeared to have great connections with a lot of the places we went to! The drinks were fabulous. If you do any tour, do this one!!!!

Really fun tour and the guide did a great job. We had a blast and the beer was nice and cold at every stop!

Christian_B

Wes was a great tour guide! Talked about Zack and Addie murder-suicide crime, the murders that have occurred on the 700 Ursuline Ave Block, the Axe Man crimes, and multiple more. It was a great time that ended with him buying the whole group shots. Wonderful experience!

If you're looking to learn the real gruesome stories, complete with all the gory details, this is the tour for you! Wes is an excellent guide and the pub crawl takes you to bars you probably wouldn't find on your own. If I visit NOLA again, I'd take this tour again.

Wes was a great tour guide. Seemed like the “True Crime aspect” turned into the haunted ghost tours, with the last two stops on the tour being very heavily influenced by hauntings and curses. Drinks were okay would have preferred more frozen drink options in the “turn your clothes into a swamp” weather New Orleans is known for.

Wes did an amazing job, explaining everything, including the drinks of choice at each stop. Highly recommend this tour to locals and tourists alike

Richard was a great tour guide. Was not rushed. Loved the stories and trying new drinks. Was able to spend enough time at each stop.

Andrea_Z

Our tour guide was Wes, he was wonderful! He was so funny and knowledgeable. The overall tour was very interesting with gruesome details. Not for everyone, but if you are a true crime junkie I highly recommend.

Virginia_M
