High Priest Robi is FANTASTIC!!!! - High Priest Robi was nothing short of phenomenal! He was so kind and welcoming - my husband is recovering from back surgery and walking with a cane. High Priest Robi was so sweet and accommodating, he frequently pointed out places for Richard to sit during the tour. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Voodoo and Louisiana history, and he is a dynamic and fascinating storyteller. We were enthralled the entire time. At the end, High Priest Robi gave us an authentic blessing that centered around self love and care - it was genuinely beautiful. High Priest Robi is treasure - please do yourself a favor and experience this incredibly thought provoking, positive, informative tour!

So happy I booked! - High Priest Robi is truly such a gem! He has such a wealth of knowledge and beautiful light. Best history tour I have ever gone on! He has great recommendations for everything you can think of. If you are new to NOLA he should be your very first stop to ensure you have the best time!

Highlight of New Orleans Trip - We did both the afternoon Voodoo History tour as well as the morning tour with High Priest Robi. I HIGHLY recommend both for anyone interested in learning more about voodoo and it's history in New Orleans. There isn't much overlap between the two tours, and they're very different experiences. The time with High Priest Robi is something I will always remember and was a total highlight of our trip to New Orleans. Open mind is a must.

Anyone who can go to this should, keep an open mind you might learn a thing or two like I did. - Incredible history and context, from one of the most interesting, inspiring and hilarious people that I’ve been lucky enough to meet. I went in without any particular expectation, on the recommendation of a friend and I’m so glad I did. I learnt a lot, got some tips on good reading and left feeling more informed, and seriously empowered to do my own research too.

History, not Hokey - Our guide (Matthew, I believe, I'm embarrassed that I don't remember) was literally a walking encyclopedia of all things voodoo but also all things history based in NOLA. We felt lucky to have him for this tour. He provides a non- judgmental space for learning & asking questions. We learned so much. This was exactly what I wanted, no hokey outfits or acting, just history. Thank you so much!

The real story about Voodoo - Sandy was a fantastic guide, and so knowledgeable! I really felt like I understood the progression of voodoo practice from west Africa to the states. She also dispelled some popular culture myths or errors in the perception of voodoo. The tour was a comfortable walking distance through Congo Square and into the Quarter. Would absolutely book with Tour by Foot again.

Exceptional experience - Robi is an exceptional person and guide. He was real and raw which I really appreciate. Very knowledgeable and has a great presence. You will walk away learning about New Orleans, voodoo, and yourself. Could not recommend this tour enough.
