A Fun, Historical, and Unforgettable Tour! - This French Quarter History and Voodoo Tour" was one of the highlights of my visit! If you love history, spooky stories, and a bit of theatrical flair, this is the tour for you. Our guide, the amazing "Pepe" was fantastic. He was a master storyteller, and his passion for the mysterious and macabre side of New Orleans history was infectious. He kept us captivated for the entire two-hour tour. The tour was packed with fascinating and chilling stories. We got a great overview of the history of Voodoo in the city and the real story of Marie Laveau, which was much more interesting than the myths. Overall, I can't recommend this tour enough. It was the perfect blend of historical detail, good stories, and great entertainment. A must-do for anyone looking to experience the darker side of New Orleans! Wear comfy shoes and know that you won’t be stopping to see the inside of places so take note of what you want to see more of.

Nicely paced tour of the French Quarter and Voodoo - It was a well paced tour that ambled, kept to the shade, was group-centered, and we learned a lot! Peppe was very knowledgeable about history and local lore and did a nice job of weaving the two together from a historical viewpoint.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We had an amazing tour with Erin in New Orleans! She was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging as she guided us through the French Quarter and the history of Voodoo. Erin gave so much fascinating background on the city’s culture and people, tying everything together with stories that made the past come alive. What stood out most was how she explained the true origins of Voodoo and took time to clarify many of the misconceptions people have today. It was refreshing to hear the respectful and accurate history behind the tradition, rather than the stereotypes often portrayed. If you’re visiting New Orleans and want a tour that’s both educational and entertaining, I highly recommend booking with Erin!
