Absolutely incredible tour! We had the pleasure of having Cristo as our tour guide, and he truly made the experience unforgettable! You could immediately tell how passionate and excited he was about New Orleans’ history. He was incredibly knowledgeable and did an amazing job bringing the stories to life—not just giving us facts, but making us feel like we were actually stepping into the history of the city. Cristo was engaging, entertaining, and clearly loves what he does. His enthusiasm was contagious, and you could tell he genuinely wanted everyone to have a great experience. We learned so much about the darker side and fascinating history of New Orleans, and honestly, we could have listened to him for hours! If you’re looking for a tour in New Orleans, I highly recommend booking this one—and if you can, request Cristo! He was an amazing guide and made our experience one of the highlights of our trip. 🖤👻⚜️
