Overview

The original walking tour company in New Orleans brings to life the New Orleans True Crime Tour. Many of these stories are not featured on our other tours. This is the most graphic, unedited True Crime Tour ever. We have gone to great lengths to research the most notorious crimes including unsolved deaths, shocking “they almost got away with it” crimes, missing persons and kidnappings, and heinous murders. All stories are documented by police records, newspaper archives, and court records.
