Traveler reviews
Great for voodoo queen and voodoo info
Leah was great - once she learned everyone in our small group had been in town for a few days and didn't need general NOLA history, she focused on voodoo, the practice, how Marie Laveau was misunderstood and more. I had to ask some direct questions as I didn't know anything about voodoo but then she shared more learned directly from practitioners. The store we went to was pretty interesting especially if you know more about this practice. Leah gave candid advice about other places to visit and tours that would add (vs just be repetitive). This is not the tour if you want generic NOLA history or ghost / voodoo generic stories. Thanks Leah.

Morgan did an excellent job! Enjoyed the history of the area and certainly felt like we barely hit the top of the iceberg! Excellent story telling and info!
Orion = Best Guide!
Orion is the BEST guide! I’ve been on a lot of tours in a lot of different cities/countries and he was EXCELLENT! Funny, knowledgeable, and well versed. I highly recommend going on one of his tours 😊
Leah was a fantastic tour...
Leah was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. I had a great time chatting with her and experiencing the city through her eyes.
Changed everything we thought we knew…
We unintentionally ended up on a private tour, and we couldn’t have been happier about it! Gomez was our guide, and he was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. It never felt like he was just doing a job, he genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge and helping people understand the history and traditions. We quickly realized that much of what we thought we knew about voodoo was either incomplete or simply wrong. Gomez did an amazing job explaining the history, beliefs, and traditions in a way that was interesting, respectful, and easy to understand. We left with a much better understanding and appreciation of voodoo, along with a genuine interest in learning more. We would absolutely recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Gomez as your guide!
