Heart and soul of a mysterious religion, unveiled respectively and with reverence. - We walked around the French Quarter while Orion gave us a detailed history tour providing us with so much information! This was a great introduction to the area for us and really helped us open our hearts to the city and gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the people. We also learned so much about the VooDoo religion and community and the evolution of this group. I especially appreciated the wonderful couple we did the tour with. Orion was respectful, intelligent, well spoken and could answer questions. Wonderful tour guide! I felt very comfortable with his expertise.

Voodoo history with Orion! - Was nervous about going on this adventure alone, but it was probably the most fun I had during my stay in NOLA. Orion was an amazing historian, super knowledgeable! Would recommend!

Historical, fun, and entertaining. - I did multiple tours during my trip to New Orleans but the Voodoo tour was by far the best. My tour guide Gomez was awesome. He combined his wealth of knowledge with brilliant theatricality. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in the real history of New Orleans given by an entertaining and charismatic tour guide.
