Take a stroll down through the supernatural realm of New Orleans. This private tour led by one of our local lore experts include the city's most famous voodoo queen. The walking tour takes you through the French Quarter and explores many famous locations. Your group will discover the architecture of the French Quarter and visit the home of Marie Laveau, the powerful priestess who practiced the religion in and around the quarter in the 1800s. New Orleans’ history and culture are ever-present in the colorful homes, above-ground tombs, and voodoo legends that you will unearth on this mesmerizing tour. While we do visit the outside of St. Louis Cemetery #1 and explore cemetery topics and grave culture, we do not enter any cemeteries on this tour.

Our tour was the VIP small group walking tour which was lead by Mac.
He was an incredibly informative guy who kept us all engaged in the stories about the ghosts of New Orleans and the world of voodoo.
Comfort breaks were built in for bathrooms and drinks - Mac looked after everyone to ensure they were comfortable.
A fabulous, historical tour not to be missed

Our guide was nice, but was a bit long winded. We found the tour boring and misleading. We couldn’t go into the cemetery, as that is only done by a different company and our guide didn’t always answer our questions.

We took our youth group on this tour while we were in New Orleans on a mission trip. The kids loved it and all of the information was interesting. William was an amazing tour guide! The cemetery was still closed due to COVID we still got to peek in the gates. It’s a very interesting tour and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the history of New Orleans!
