- Duration: 90 Minutes (approx.)
- Location: New Orleans, La
This 90-minute walking tour digs into the real history of voodoo in New Orleans. How it arrived through the collision of African, Caribbean, and Catholic traditions. Why it gripped the city for over a hundred years. And what it actually is, versus what most people think. Your guide is an experienced storyteller who knows this material cold, and groups stay small enough that you can ask questions along the way.
You'll visit historically significant sites and hear about the figures and events that shaped voodoo culture in the city. The storytelling is engaging enough that you forget you're walking. Nobody is jumping out at you. But standing in front of the places where this history actually happened, hearing how fear and misunderstanding of an African religion consumed an entire city for over a century, the real stories hit differently than anything you'd get from a movie. What was it about New Orleans that made voodoo take root here and nowhere else in the United States?
Built for anyone who wants to understand New Orleans on a deeper level, not just get spooked. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. French Quarter meeting location provided in your confirmation email. Not recommended for younger children.
