A toast to Toast - I finally completed all of the chores with the guide Toast! He is completely informative and fun. I have been taking his tours for 6 or 7 years. I've been on tours with multiple guides but none of them are nearly as passionate about New Orleans history than he is. I first met him on a tour in 2019 when I was in town doing some real estate continuing education classes with a fellow agent. It was the pub crawl. He did a great job navigating people who didn't speak English well, people who were highly inebriated already, and people who just weren't paying attention and didn't care about the tour. We didn't hit all of the spots because some of the other people slowed us down. Even though I tried to help him wrangle them in, it was a lost cause. We offered to buy him a drink and I learned that he was sober which was really cool as he was giving a pub crawl tour. We always try to book whatever tour he is doing whenever I am in town. I actually did two tours this past trip with him. On May 20th I did The Vampire Tour at 8:30 and then on May 23rd I turned around and did the Voodoo tour. I did the Vampire tour years ago with a guide named Marilyn, who was a bit lackluster and talked trash about Anne Rice... I then did The Vampire Tour again with Toast in February of 2020, right before the world shut down and it was much better. The cemetery Tour by him was my absolute favorite, just seeing all of the history there and him explaining where phrases come from. I also really like that he carries his iPad around and will show you newspaper articles to prove the validity of the stories. If you're going to New Orleans, you should book with Toast and Toast alone I also like to bring all of my friends on his tours and anyone who's to going to New Orleans to look for what tours toast is hosting. I think if he ever leaves Haunted History Tours it would be a sad day. I'm not a woman who gives reviews on several things. I definitely don't give negative reviews, which means I don't typically give positive, however, his knowledge and passion is definitely worth taking a few minutes to leave this review. You guys have a gem. Because you'll definitely made bank off of me😅

ASK FOR TOAST!!! Best guide in the French quarter!!! He really made our stay a special one!! - DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND ASK FOR TOAST!! Yes that’s his legal name.. My wife and I visited the French quarter this past weekend and we love to take tours everywhere we go. we had several tours booked prior to our visit, we had no idea how blessed we were to get Toast as our first guide. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. the passion he has for what he does really shows in his tours and it especially shows when you take tours with other guides. Other tours did not even compare to our tour with toast. Other guides shared wrong information, ended tours much earlier than they were supposed to and just didn’t have the same knowledge or enthusiasm as we saw in Toast. We were so pleased with him that we ended up cancelling other booked tours so we could go back with Toast for different tours as he does 10 different kinds of tours in the French quarter. He is a student of all kinds of history and is even in the process of writing a book about one of the cemeteries he took us to on a different tour with him (cemetery tour). His kindness and expertise did not stop at the tour, after it was over he chatted with us and gave us tips for the rest of our stay outside of touring. He showed us his favorite authentic shops (voodoo Authentica is a must see) , restaurants and sight seeing spots as well as what to watch out for as far as anyone trying to scam us (and to not get caught in the tourist traps).. I cannot wait to go back and this time everything we do will be with Toast!! Tip well because as you will see this guy really deserves it!!

Awesome Experience. - Vee was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and made the tour really fun. This was a great way to explore the city a little bit and learn more about it history.

Informative and fun tour exploring the history and religion of Voodoo and how it shaped New Orleans. - Bree, our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, studied religion in the past and has firsthand experiences with spells and hexes. She explained the misconceptions of Voodoo from Hollywood and how it shaped New Orleans into the vibrant city it is today. I have studied many different religions, including Voodoo, but still learned so much from her. Including the biases and misconceptions, how preist and preistess practiced during slavery and the life of Marie Lavaue. Bree went over how to remove hexes and she even taught us a few spells to take home and out. I truly believe it is as real and powerful as any other religion. The stories she told would make anyone with an open mind a believer. Our only regret is that we did not have money to tip her and wished we could have stayed till Sunday to witness it practiced in Congo Park. Thank you Bree we had a great time and wish the best for you and yours.

Interesting - We visit New Orleans almost every year and try to include a new activity each time. The tour was interesting with a bit of history about the Voodoo religion. However, it was a bit “cheesy “ and probably worth an hour if you visit NOLA often. Not really a “must see” however.

Informative Voodoo Tour - Brie was very informative about the history of Voodoo. Interesting and historical tour with a bit of comedy thrown in!!

Leaving an impression. - Two weeks later, I am still reflecting on our recent tour for various reasons. Our guide, whose name I believe was Toe or Toad (he had to show us his ID to prove it), made quite an impression. The tour continued with him sharing a few tidbits while heavily criticizing Hollywood's portrayal of voodoo. At one point, we encountered another tour group led by a female guide, and the two exchanged profanities and insults. It was quite the spectacle. Toe had a habit of criticizing other tour groups and the general public. He even blocked traffic while glaring at cars, yet he yelled at us to 'watch out, stay off the street.' One lady in our group drew his ire when she took a hit from her vape, leading to a public shaming that shifted the group's mood. Shortly after, a couple left the tour, unbeknownst to him until the restroom break, at which point he harshly criticized them. Despite these incidents, Toe did provide some interesting historical information. However, he kept us close, limiting our opportunities for picture-taking, possibly fearing more people might try to sneak away. Not sure what I was looking for, but it wasn't this.
