About

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google Review

”The sex, mafia, and all that jazz tour was a fascinating view of the gritty and colorful characters in New Orleans past. David had us enthralled with stories from Norma Wallace to Huey Long and everyone between. If you want insight into the less than proper scene where both men of status and those of vice frequented, look no farther. David was a very personable and engaging person who loves to share his stories. I’m so glad we had the opportunity to learn from him.” Erin M

New Orleans is “Different”

For the past 300 years New Orleans has hung precariously to the lower lip of a country that doesn’t know quite what to make of her. At best, New Orleans is called “different”. As often as not, the difference is characterized in travel memoirs as “decadence”. Decadent: corrupt, degenerate, depraved, dissipated, dissolute, immoral, sinful, unprincipled. A Cajun friend of mine might affirm, “Truedat. Yeayouright.”

Rogues, and Roués, the Mobsters and Madams

On this two hour walking tour of the French Quarter you will meet the rogues and roués, the mobsters and madams: Silver Dollar Sam, Diamond Jim, Emma Johnson and her House of All Nations, Norma Wallace and, of course, Bourbon Street. In our mind’s eye we’ll tour down the line of Storyville, the legendary and notorious tenderloin district that beckoned all comers between 1898 and 1917. We’ll meet the King Fish, Gov. Huey Long, who fathered modern Louisiana through patronage and payoffs. He might have become President — if he hadn’t been assassinated.

You must be at least 21 years old to take this tour. Adult content!
