Adults Only - Historic Red Light District Walking Tour
Overview
If you’re looking for something less familiar than “haunted history”—but just as entertaining—this daytime journey through the sex, class, and music of “Storyville”, our historic “vice district”, is just what the witch doctor ordered. Populated with legendary brothel owners, notorious criminals, crusaders for equality, and pioneering jazz virtuosos, this is a stroll through some of the most jaw-dropping history the state of Louisiana has to offer.
Thanks to the miraculous work of city archivists, as well as historians like the one who curated our tour, Hottest Hell is now able to resurrect this forgotten neighborhood through a combination of historic photographs, visual aids, and narrative storytelling. Each tour guests receives their own “blue book” - modeled after the printed ‘guides to gals’ that ‘Tenderloin’ visitors could purchase - to help better see what was lost when Storyville was replaced.
Our tours go out rain or shine. Intoxicated travelers will not be permitted.
