About This Adventure

Discover the darker side of New Orleans with the True Crime Tour, where chilling tales of notorious crimes, unsolved mysteries, and shocking events come to life. This unique experience unveils stories often overlooked, blending historical accuracy with gripping narratives that have captivated audiences on crime reality shows. Uncover the secrets of the city!

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. 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 historically correct. Some have even made their way onto popular crime reality shows. Others have been covered up so well through the years, they are just now being revealed.

Tours operate nightly at 5:15 PM & 7:45 PM and are offered rain or shine.
