Randy Bibb most knowledgeable tour guide in northern hemisphere

Reviewed July 7, 2016

Mr Bibb, better known as Randy, was my tour guide in New Orleans,LA IN JUNE, 2016. 

I took the historical, slightly macabre, cemetary tour. Randy was extremely knowledgeable, very attentive and overall aware of each of his guests. 

I felt like I met one of my brothers that I had not seen in a while. This man made me laugh, kept me interested and told me more about New Orleans, the French quarter and other Facts that I can not remember it all READ SOME OF HIS ARTICLES. 

I really liked seeing the LA Supreme Court and then seeing the resting place of Homer Plessy. My name is Ron Ferguson and I was researching a possible relation. YOU KNOW- PLESSY VS FERGUSON. Anyway separate but equal doesn't work, and it still doesn't work. 

I give Randall (Randy) Bibb 5 stars all around and HIGHLY RECOMMEND ONE OF HIS TOURS. Thank You. Ron F. One of Randy's tour group in Late June 2016.

Great tour

Reviewed June 20, 2016

My group of four went on a tour with about 10 other people with Randy as the tour guide. He was very informative and did not give folklore stories just to scare us. He told stories that were either personally meaningful to him or had the archives to support the story. I had taken another tour similiar to his a while ago and thought to be a little disappointed I didn't recieve any spooky stories that made your skin crawl, but I really appreciated his no-nonsense approach to his storytelling of this truly historical city. 

I will say that his voice was giving out after being on two other tours that day after rainfall. But he powered through it and gave an excellent tour nonetheless.

Thank you so much for your input. You bring up a very important point: it's interesting to me that after 20 years of doing haunted tours I find it takes more to give people a chill today than it used to. I think that's why there are so many fake stories out there. I talk about actual reported hau More

ntings rather than Hollywood horror movies. When people ask me about ghost tours I tell them if they want to be scared they should go for street theatre with a tour guide in a costume. (And many of the ghost tours out there today are exactly that - and that's perfectly fine for those who want entertainment.) But I give authenticity and a ghost (if you believe in them) is a shadow, a voice, a footstep, the sound of something hitting a wall, a door opening - that's what I give. Thanks for mentioning it. (And yes - my voice was nearly gone by the end of the evening. LOL! At one point I thought it was going to rally but, no...!) Less

Ghost Tour

Reviewed June 3, 2016

We had a great time touring the French Quarter on the 'Ghost Tour'. Randy wasn't able to take us on the tour that evening, but he arranged Theresa (or Tonya, my memory is short sometimes) to led us around the various sites. Learned a bit of history about the FQ and heard some entertaining stories about serial killers, ghosts and other nefarious individuals. I highly recommend this tour. Great fun and I got to see areas of the FQ I might not have ventured into.

Randy was so wonderful. His knowledge of New Orleans culture and history is incredible. My daughter and I had so much fun listen to the real stories about this amazing city. He made the tour so enjoyable with humorous facts and fascinating tales. We will definitely take more tours with Randy in the near future.

A wonderful tour

Reviewed May 11, 2016

I was fortunate enough to have Randy as my tour guide for a tour of the St. Louis Cemetery #1 in New Orleans in February of this year. The tour was amazing, and I wanted to book through the same group based on this experience. I came back to New Orleans last week with my boyfriend, and we booked a Ghost/VooDoo tour. I was thrilled when we went to meet our guide and it turned out to be Randy - and to make it even better, we were the only people on the tour. He is so knowledgeable, and his love and passion for the city of New Orleans is evident. We were so impressed with the level of detail and history he wove throughout the stories he told. It was by far the best tour I (and my bofriend) have ever been on. When we return to New Orleans (as we inevitably will), we will make sure to get another tour with Randy!
