Offered in: English

New Orleans seeps into your bloodstream and compels even the sweetest from small-town America to do obscene things. This is the real New Orleans which does not fit neatly into the category of "American" city. It is a black water port, Caribbean and lawless; settled by thieves, prostitutes, and the other criminally disposed. New Orleans is also Catholic and pious with Roman altars trimmed in gold. It is equally black magic, Voodoo, and the steady throb of African drums. It is sin and forgiveness. This is the place where God and the Devil shook hands so the party could go on. New Orleans is a city for the sinner and the saint. This is a tour that takes you through the sweat-soaked madness of our best and worst. Get lost with us in this strange city and explore its dark past because this is NOT your grandmother's tour. This is tour for adults 17 and up, the content included is not for children or the easily offended.
