Hear 300 years of history of vice and red light districts in New Orleans, and all that's not fit for print! » Small groups: 15 guest max » Suggested cocktails » Fun extras: historical images, a take-home Polaroid of the group, and more! France shipped women from the brothels and prisons to the colonies in the 1720s, sending them to Ursulines nuns for 'correction'. Instead, many hung their red lanterns out back of town, and created a thriving red light district. In the same location, a century later, madams decked in diamonds reigned in 'palaces of sin'. Some were so rich and powerful they committed murder and got off scot free! Hear the jaw-dropping history of New Orleans you'll never forget! Ages 18+

Q&A

Q: Is there an age requirement for this tour? Thinking of gifting it to my sister who's 17.

A: Yes, this tour is for ages 18 and up since it covers adult themes related to New Orleans' history of vice and red light districts. It wouldn't be suitable for your sister at 17. If you’re looking for something similar that’s appropriate for teens, I’d suggest checking out some daytime history tours instead!

Q: What should we wear for this tour? Is it casual or more dressy?

A: Casual and comfy is the way to go! Since it’s a walking tour, you’ll want good shoes. And since you’ll be outside, check the weather to dress accordingly. You might also wanna bring a light jacket if the evening gets cool—New Orleans can be unpredictable!

Q: If it rains, do they cancel the tour? What’s the policy?

A: They don’t typically cancel unless the weather is severe. If there's light rain, the tour goes on and they might provide ponchos. If it is canceled, they’ll usually reschedule for you or offer a refund. Just make sure to check their website for updates before you go!

Just did the Badly Behaved Women Tour—mind-blowing!

I went on the Badly Behaved Women Who Made New Orleans Tour last weekend, and wow, it was amazing! The guide had all these crazy stories about the madams and the history of the red light district. I loved the little Polaroid we got at the end, such a fun keepsake! I highly recommend it for anyone visiting NOLA. Just a heads-up—definitely wear comfy shoes since it’s a walking tour.

Gift idea for my history-loving friend?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking of gifting the Badly Behaved Women tour to my friend who loves history and quirky stories. Has anyone done it? What was your favorite part? Also, do you think it’s suitable for her? She’s really into the darker side of history, so I think she’d love it!
