Highly recommended! - This was an OUTSTANDING tour and VERY informative. Be advised, you will learn some very important history of NOLA, and some of that history is traumatic. Also, this is listed as a walking tour, but it is fairly light and restricted to a fairly small area within the park, and the guide provides times to sit on benches to listen to the stories and histories of the area.

Wonderful tour! - Such a great tour! Educational, entertaining, and very moving. Everyone in our group said that this tour was one of the highlights of our trip. I will be sure to take another tour with Anansi’s Daughters the next time we’re in New Orleans!

Great tour! Highly reccomend! - This tour was amazing! Our guide was so knowledgeable (of course! She is a priestess!), sweet and thorough! She gave us ample opportunity to ask questions, have conversations and was able to integrate and dispell Hollywood lore from what is truth.

Wow - Amazing Experience! - This tour was so informative. I knew nothing of the history of Voo Doo and what an important role it played in American history. This is definitely worth your while!

Incredible Tour - It was my first time visiting New Orleans and I'm so glad I booked this tour during my two-day stay. Malika has a wealth of knowledge and is really engaging. She is very considerate and checked in frequently with the group to ensure people were comfortable and if they could hear/understand, as there were people in the group whose first language was not English. I am so glad I had the opportunity to learn about Voodoo from a High Priestess because as you listen to the history, you can see how those historical threads have been woven into the fabric of New Orleans. It was such a great experience. I highly recommend booking this tour.
