About Us
WHY ARE WE HERE?
STREETS OF SIN TOURS
(SOS) was created out of a need for something better.
Many cities have walking tours, but SOS is truly an unforgettable experience. Two local, childhood friends, one a demonologist and the other a clinical therapist wanted to share their cities true stories, straight no chaser.
New Orleans is one of the most sinister cities in the history of human kind so they had to do it justice by creating the most memorable walking tour. If you want cheesy ghost stories, this is not the tour for you.
SOS has spent the last few years uncovering the most shocking and sordid tales and researching every grimy detail of the Crescent City’s past. This tour will satisfy all your blood thirsty lusts...
GUARANTEED.
