Thorn is so great! Amazing storyteller and wonderful presence - I loved learning about the sites and then seeing them to really grasp the stories!

This was a disappointing waste of time. Our guide, “Toast”, was eccentric and not informative. He oftentimes went on random and non-germane tangents while offering but a rudimentary synopsis of the “true crime” stories. It felt less like an organized, coherent tour and more like a niche stand-up routine as he showed us unsolicited pictures of his Halloween costumes as Beetlejuice and Gene Simmons in between his anecdotes of a “drunk Darth Vader” and other memorable sights along Bourbon Street. We stayed more than halfway through, hoping that it would eventually get better and it just never did. Owing to the nature of our guide, coupled with the lack of sources and evidence, it is hard to believe much of anything that was said. We, along with several other people, were so fed up by this experience that we ran away before the end. We will not be doing another tour with this company again, nor would we recommend this company to anyone else.

We had such a great time doing the True Crime tour with Thorn. He was a great storyteller and clearly had a lot of valuable knowledge about both the crimes and the history of the city. We especially loved how much of the history was built into the tour, learning about different buildings and their significance for some of the murders that happened. We would definitely do another tour on our next visit, especially if Thorn is leading it!

Thor was an amazing tour guide- shared so many crazy stories with so many details- still deliberating over which story was the most intense for me- I think the first one, Zach and Annie- the mystery behind it and connections to the superstitions and history of New Orleans was so interesting! Thor did an excellent job of taking us all around and sharing related history and must knows of New Orleans and French quarter- a must do!!

jordyna893

very interesting to see the actual buildings and tour guide thorn knew what he was talking about! I was on the tip of my toes the whole time and love the plot twists!
