We meet up at the Voodoo Lounge, where there is a ticket office in the back room. We didn't live the bar--smelled a little bit like a sewer and the hurricanes were super sweet and kind of weak. But we did have but one get one, so wasn't that upset. The tour was great. We saw some interesting, haunted places and heard the history behind them. We didn't linger too long at any one place. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny, although he may have been a tad bit too heavy on the Catholic Church jokes. The tour ended at the LaLaurie house, and our guide shared a story about a little girl on who was recently on his tour who started crying and asked why there were dead people on the balcony. Spooky! I was so intrigued by what he said that I started looking up stories about Delphine LaLaurie and the haunting of the house. When I got home, I even started watching season 3 of American Horror Story, which has the character Delphine LaLaurie (accurate? No. Fun? Yes!). This was a fun way to spend the evening. There was an obnoxiously drunk guy on our tour, and our guide handled him well.

We stopped by the LaLaurie Mansion during our walking tour. The building looks incredible and has…read moreso much history behind it. It's unfortunate that you can't go inside, but knowing the story and history of the mansion still made the visit very interesting.

If you were not seeking this place, you might go right by it without a second glance. But knowing the history here, I had to check it out and add it to the places that I have been. This house fits in with the darker side of the history of New Orleans. It is a stop on ghost tours and it's owner, Marie Delphine LaLaurie, was the inspiration for the third season of "American Horror Story." If you are in New Orleans, I would definitely recommend a visit here.

The True Crime Walking Tour of the French Quarter was hands-down one of the best walking tours…read morewe've ever taken, and that is entirely because of Drew. You can immediately tell he doesn't just *recite* stories--he has deeply researched them. Every detail was accurate, thoughtfully sourced, and presented with care and integrity. In a city where true crime can easily slip into sensationalism, Drew handled each story with respect, depth, and historical context. That matters, and it showed. What truly sets Drew apart is how he performs the stories. His delivery was engaging without being theatrical for the sake of it. He told each case with genuine love and passion, making the history feel alive while honoring the real people involved. He kept the group fully engaged from start to finish--thorough, entertaining, and never rushed. Drew is the kind of guide who elevates the entire experience and reflects incredibly well on your company. He's not just knowledgeable--he's a storyteller, a historian, and a professional who clearly takes pride in what he does. A true gem, and absolutely someone you want representing your tours. Highly recommend--especially if you're lucky enough to get Drew as your guide.

As a professional historian and visitor to museums around the world, I hold museums to a higher…read morestandard than most. To say that the Storyville Museum achieved its goals and earned five stars would be an understatement; this may very well be the best museum I've visited in at least the past three years. The story of Storyville is complex, full of nuance, and with many unanswered questions. For me, one of the hallmarks of an excellent museum is that it lets these questions linger; the rough edges are not smoothed over, and visitors leave pondering big moral and ethical questions. That's exactly how I felt: the museum gave me a fantastic scaffolding of understand about Storyville, but it was also clear that its socioeconomics, its racial and gender dynamics, and its complex intersection with local, state and federal law are vast unplowed fields of potential for masters theses and PhD dissertations. For me, the intersection between prostitution and the political power structures were fascinating. Ton Anderson is a case study of contradictions, and one could spend a career trying to peel back the layers there. So too are the intersections with New Orleans's rich musical cultures and traditions. The stories of the madams themselves were equally captivating. Josie Arlington's and Kate Townsend's lives were riveting, but so too were the countless other women who didn't achieve their considerable wealth and power. The price of admission isn't cheap, but it's well worth the investment. Plan to spend at least two hours here, and learn about an important part of New Orleans's history that's well worth seeing.

This museum blew my mind with its wide range of history!…read more Storyville Museum is self-explanatory: it goes in depth about how the community of Storyville took place. The museum dives into the infamy Storyville crafted for itself, with newspapers condemning the women, yet some of these people who protested against the practice had took part in their services. My emotions traveled from being humored at this development, to fully facing the truth that this was not all for fun and humor--for many women of Storyville, this was the other way they could keep a roof over their head. The tour details tragic incidents like violent deaths and immoral acts that took place to bring in more visitors. It's an unsightly part of New Orleans' history, but this attraction presents such things with tact and well-thought out design. I was lucky enough to have the whole museum to myself and my partner, so we spent much time really absorbing this history and discussing the bleak and disturbed reality of what was promoted as a lively form of business. I recommend others to stop by this place; it is definitely not for children or those sensitive to sexual content, violence, or abuse. If your comfortable exploring those topics, then Storyville Museum is a great attraction to visit. It was one of the most beloved spots that I found during my vacation, and I'd be happy to go again!

I learned so much about the history of the land we walked on and felt honored to hear about the work that Mr. Waters and his colleagues do to educate others. There are many walking tours in New Orleans, but don't miss out on this one.

I would give him 10 stars if I could!!!…read more Mr. Leon Waters is an amazing man that fools you at first thinking he will walk slow but he suddenly jets off and you are left there scrambling to catch up! He is a wise man who has lived through so much and he not only witnessed things but takes action to make right what is wrong. I was so impressed with his bravery and the many ways he initiated change for good. He defines terms for you (like how a Creole person is a child born of black and white parents). And like another Yelper mentioned, he provides a portfolio given to you that accentuates his tour and it's VERY well organized!! It is a very interactive tour and you get to hold very historical items. I won't say what they are so I don't ruin it, but those helped me learn a lot. It produced a strong emotion for me to experience something that was used for evil on precious children and adults. This tour really takes you deep into the mindset of things. Mr. Waters also teaches us about symbolism and how important it was in many aspects! It's about a 2 hour walking tour and I highly recommend bringing enough water (but there are no restroom breaks in between) and a hat. This tour is worth every minute of your time and New Orleans will have a different look to it after you go through it. It's very educational and important to know the history.

We took the "Voodoo Queen" walking tour. DJ Hayes was an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide:…read moreeducated in all things New Orleans, and with great energy. The "voodoo queen" aspect of the tour was just a fraction of what we learned about New Orleans from DJ -- from history to pronunciation to race and religion knowledge and much more. He deconstructed common stereotypes of voodoo and its main "queen", and we walked away with more knowledge of New Orleans as a city than we got from any other source. Worth every penny! As a bonus, he gave us a wonderful lunch recommendation for after the tour, and it was great! I hope to book a food tour with him next time we visit.

What is better than being in NOLA listening to haunted events while the sun was going down? Our tour guide was great. She was very detailed and very knowledgeable of everything that was discussed. The tour was about 1.5 hours long which was the perfect amount of time in my opinion. We went to numerous buildings that surrounded the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. My favorite spot was seeing the house in the Coven season of American Horror Story. I feel like your trip is not complete if you don't do one of these tours!
