Gomez was a great guide... - Gomez was a great guide and did a great job weaving the history of the founding of New Orleans into how Voodoo was created and the impact in the area as well. This tour is perfect for kids that are interested in history and not sensitive to and spooky content and going into a Vooddoo shop. And content that discusses the truth behind the slave trade and some of the brutality of it. Important to
Learn in my opinion. What age that is different for each child.

Beware the 2nd Line! - This was not a spooky, dark tour. It was an illumination of what voodoo is - and isn't. Marie Laveau and her daughter (also Marie Laveau) probably changed New Orleans history and this tour was a really interesting and engaging way to learn how they did that. Thanks, Gomez!! (But, seriously, be prepared for that 2nd Line experience 😄😄😄)

Amazing knowledgable guide. Best tour in New Orleans - From start to finish I loved this tour. John is absoutley wonderful. I wish this was my first tour here cos I would have cancelled all the others and only used him. Seriously, book all your tours you can through him. His knowledge and research was impecable, his communicaton is brilliant. I learnt so much about the history of voodoo and not just the touristy bits other tours do, I feel I really understand it now and that's all thanks to John. I highly recommened him, honestly, I can't praise him enough, it was the best tour I've ever been on, really made a mark on my trip to New Orleans. A**
