Who we are…


Dead City Tours was founded in late 2019 (in the before times) by tour guides committed to the art of storytelling and a shared passion of New Orleans. The idea was brewed up over one too many shots of Jameson after a long day of dealing with absent-minded bosses and early holiday tourists. Eager to begin telling stories in a more personable style, our team of well-versed guides got to work and then 2020 reared its head. Along with the rest of the world, we went into a dead sleep for the next year, and almost three years later, we’re back and more ready than ever. 

Our guides are hand-picked as some of the best tour guides in the city of New Orleans. While yes, they are licensed and registered, these aren’t your suspender-wearing, high-sock, stuffy guides of yesterday (Carolyn’s tube socks don’t count.) Get ready to learn about America’s most unique and beloved city by the people who live it. No matter where they showed up from or how long they’ve been here, all of Dead City Tour’s guides are proud to call New Orleans home. Book a tour with us and you’ll learn more than you ever expected and leave with a host of new friends. 

We hope to see you soon!
