A Must-Do in New Orleans! - ⸻ The Voodoo Tour in New Orleans was an amazing experience! It was both educational and entertaining, filled with fascinating information about the history and culture of voodoo. Our tour host was perfect—knowledgeable, engaging, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and really brought the stories to life. This was my family’s first time in New Orleans, and we were also celebrating my birthday, so it made the experience even more special. We all had a great time, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. It’s truly a must-do!

High Priest Robi was the best - The BEST voodoo tour I have been on! Robi, a practicing voodoo priest, was able to tell you the real voodoo religion and what it truly represents vs what Hollywood has led us to believe. He was not only was he educational but he was entertaining as well. I would heed the description that he does talk about some difficult topics that might trigger some people and young kids might not be the best audience. I wish we had not time to talk with him. I would take this tour again.

High Priest Robi - Genuine Voodoo history - I cannot say enough about the authentic tour given by High Priest Robi! If you want to learn about VooDoo but skip the sensationalism of Hollywood this is your tour. Very child (all ages) friendly (and dog friendly too!!!). Engaging, interactive, and NOT about walking around to look at houses. Instead, learn about Voodoo and the role it plays in NOLA history, from a place of inclusion and love.

Amazing tour with High Priest Robi - We´ve done the Voodoo tour with High Priest Robi and I couldn’t recommend it enough! You need to go if you want to learn more about Voodoo and New Orleans/Louisiana history. The tour was educational but also fun and inclusive. You can go with your eyes closed - Priest Robi is amazing! Thanks a lot!!

Authentic and respectful voodoo history - If you truly want to learn more about voodoo as a religious and cultural practice, this is for you. Our guide studied voodoo extensively and was a fount of knowledge on history, cultural practices, and common misconceptions. She really brought the history to life. This shed light upon an important piece of NOLA history for me and I really enjoyed it.

A phenomenal spiritual awakening everyone should experience - I did the voodoo tour with Priest Robbi who is an ordained practioner of voodoo. What a phenomenal experience! Robbi is not only a wealth of knowledge his personality & authenticity really shine like the star he is. Robbi is the real deal a truly gifted spiritual warrior. I learned so much on this very educational and deeply emotional experience through history, the voodoo practice, it's beginnings, spirituality, deities, spirits, rituals & their meanings. I left changed with a new perspective on so many things & how we are all connected as a people through spirit & much more regardless of our differnces. Do not miss out on this opportunity. Also Robbi has his own site which is better for booking. Make sure you use this link to book to ensure whatever payments you make will go to Robbi directly
