The Tour Delivered - Daltry was a great guide. You could tell that she loved what she was doing and tried to get to know us prior to the tour. Although I’ve been to NOLA before, I got to stroll through neighborhoods I’ve never been. Walked to Frenchman’s St. after for a great night. Highly recommend.

Truly a crime to miss this tour with Jamie! - Jamie is the type of storyteller you want leading any tour! Her love for New Orlean’s and the city’s past are palpable from the moment of her introduction. This tour is not for the squeamish- even this true crime/horror loving fan had some moments that bordered on too much. Totally worth it! Highly recommended for anyone looking to hear about the darker sides of this enchanting mistress of a city.

Amazing - This was one of the best damn decisions I ever made - if you like gory tails with a sprinkling of the supernatural, then you need to book this tour.
Jamie did an amazing job. She was very knowledgeable and very engaging. 10/10 would book again.

Highly recommend! - We really enjoyed our tour. Jamie is a great story-teller and made the tour super engaging. She also remembered everyone’s name which is really impressive (there was 21 of us). At the end, we got cards with a QR code we could scan for recommendations of books tied to the stories we heard and restaurants/museums. Glad we picked this tour and would recommend to anyone visiting NOLA!

A 5-Star True Crime French Quarter Tour! - Awesome tour this evening with Jamie Lindsey! She brought great energy to the sold-out group and was an excellent communicator and storyteller—so knowledgeable about the French Quarter history and the true crime events that shape its mystical streets and homes within. She loves the City, and it truly shows by the way she shares her passion for it with all her tour guests!

This was more of a... - This was more of a history tour than a true crime and ghost. The guide knew her history but this was not what I was expecting nor sign up for so our group found it boring.
