Take on a Friday to get Julia - Julia was a wealth of information, and accurately introduced voodoo to us, explaining its history, current usage, and dispelling the perceived societal myths that the uninformed hold as common knowledge. Absolutely unbelievable!

Very interesting tour.... - Very interesting tour. Didn’t know much about Voodoo before the tour. Juliet our guide was very knowledgeable and lovely. I learned a lot about how the religion developed in the melting pot of cultures in New Orleans etc. It really is a lecture. Exactly what I was looking for. Would recommend taking the tour early in your stay as there are so many things to look out for now with the added knowledge.

New Orleans Voodoo Tour - Went on a Voodoo Tour with Juliet and had an amazing time. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the religion and the city of New Orleans' part in its formation. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in this very misunderstood faith's workings and its backstory. 10/10

Good tour - Kristy was a good tour guide. Showed photos of ghosts, which were amazing and which i have never seen before. Talked a bit abt vampires (incl stuff w prostitutes coming from france), but more abt interwiew w a vampire movie.
