True Crime Tour in New Orleans
Overview
This tour provides an in depth look at some of the most unnerving crimes in New Orleans history. Visit local watering holes frequented by some of New Orleans’ most notorious murderers and serial killers, all while a licensed tour guide provides detailed accounts of the terrifying actions of real French Quarter residents.
Perfect for true crime enthusiasts of all backgrounds. Highlights include a discussion of several French Quarter residents alleged involvement in JFKs assasination, the Ax Man’s legendary reign of terror, the Upstairs Lounge Arson, as well as the infamous “Bourbon Street Bloodbath” involving an unsuspecting convention-goer in 2012.
