Amazing tour guide
Jamie our tour guide was an amazing storyteller! She was captivating and had a lot of knowledge. After talking with her for awhile after the tour we found out that her dad grew up in our hometown! So fun! Enjoyed our time with her!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your morning with Jamie. Her knowledge and storytelling really bring New Orleans’ darker history to life. And what a small world that her dad grew up in your hometown! We love hearing about fun connections like that. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to see you again someday! Talya and Christo

Coffee with killers...
Coffee with killers walking tour was an interesting and chilling experience. A little history of New Orleans at its roots. Our tour guide Jamie was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her city she calls home. I would highly recommend the 10 am slot, it allows you see the intricate architecture and vibrant colors the city is known for. 10 out of 10 for my group!!
Response from the operator: A 10 out of 10! We love it! Thank you so much for the amazing review. We’re thrilled your group enjoyed Coffee with Killers with Jamie. Her knowledge and genuine love for New Orleans really shine through in her storytelling. We love that you appreciated exploring the French Quarter in the morning and taking in all its beautiful architecture along the way. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation, and we hope to welcome you all back to the Streets of Sin again someday! Talya and Christo

Amazing tour (sorry my review got a little out of hand...)
We did the Coffee with Killers Walking Tour offered by Streets of Sin Tours. It was an absolute blast, it was 13 guests (me with my mum and an amazing bridal shower group) with our tour guide Jamie. The tour itself has well thought out spots with engaging and informative stories, spaced out well so even those of us not as in shape could keep up and rest a bit before carrying on. The coffee shop CC's Coffee House has an amazing tea selection. I really enjoyed the Iced Citrus Jasmine Jazz, and mum got the Zidago Chai which was also amazing. Jamie was incredible, starting off making sure to ask all of us our names and introducing herself while getting our orders for the Coffee shop (she kept track of everyones names only bedding to double check names like 4 or 5 times across the whole group). We arrived a bit early and she was happy to chat with us about our trip sharing recommendations of where to visit and chatting about prior experiences in the city. You can instantly see and hear her love for the city and respect of its history both the good and the gruesome. When we got started she made sure we all knew she had hand fans and rain ponchos for all of us if needed, and periodically reminded all of us that the fans where there if needed through the whole tour. Actually starting the tour every story to be told had good connections to the places we stopped, Jamie kept everyone engaged with good pacing, asking questions, dramatic pauses, and expanding on questions that where asked. It wasn't just a script being recited it was knowledge known and being shared, and we could see Jamie's delight in the reactions being garnered from the stories being shared. I absolutely would come do this tour again, and maybe even check out the night tour offered by Streets of Sin as well. I actually reccomended the tour to 2 friends who are considering New Orleans trips before we left the French Quarter.
Response from the operator: Wow! Thank you so much for this incredible review! We absolutely love hearing how much you and your mum enjoyed Coffee with Killers with Jamie. Her love for New Orleans, genuine care for her guests, and incredible knowledge really shine through in everything she does. We’re thrilled that her storytelling and all the little personal touches made your morning such a memorable one. The fact that you were already recommending us to friends before leaving the French Quarter means the world to us! We would love to welcome you back for an evening on the Streets of Sin next time you’re in New Orleans! Talya and Christo

Amazing! Top 5 things to do in New Orleans!
I cannot recommend this tour enough, especially if you get Christo as your guide. I had never done a ghost tour before, and I was hoping for something that focused more on the history of New Orleans than jump scares or over-the-top ghost stories. This was exactly that. I'd say it was about 80% fascinating history and 20% ghost stories, which was the perfect balance. I've been visiting New Orleans for about 20 years and usually come three times a year. I honestly thought I knew this city pretty well. I was wrong. Christo taught me so much about places I've walked past dozens of times without ever giving them a second thought. Now I'll never look at those buildings and streets the same way again. One thing I was worried about was being able to hear. I'm hard of hearing, and I was afraid I'd spend money on a tour where I'd miss half the stories. Christo was incredibly thoughtful. He made sure everyone naturally formed a half circle around him before he started talking, and because of that I heard every single word. Even if I had missed something, he's such a theatrical storyteller that you could almost understand the story just from his expressions and delivery alone. The man has absolutely found his calling. He is a master storyteller and clearly an expert in New Orleans history. At one point I asked him what I thought was going to be a random, obscure question while we had a few seconds between stops. Instead of a quick answer, he launched into a fascinating five-minute explanation without missing a beat. I couldn't stump him. I honestly want to book another tour with Christo, not even for the ghost stories, but just to hear him teach the history of New Orleans. He made me appreciate this city in an entirely new way. Absolutely phenomenal experience. I loved it. I loved it. I loved it.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re honored that Christo was able to give you a whole new perspective on a city you’ve been visiting for years. Hearing that his storytelling, knowledge, and thoughtful approach made the tour so enjoyable means the world to us. We truly appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back for another adventure through New Orleans’ darker history! Talya and Christo

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only cost?
+
Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.
Is New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 71 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Orleans?
+
New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Adults-Only True Crime and Ghost Walking Tour, New Orleans Garden District History Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Orleans?
+
February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Orleans?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only?
+
Included: Tea and coffee; and 1 hour and 45 minute morning true crime walking tour. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only?
+
We meet along the black fence right across from the entrance of the St Louis Cathedral, look for the check-in flag that says "Streets of Sin." Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to New Orleans True Crime and Coffee Walking Tour: Adults Only if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
