About This Tour
Take a stroll down through the supernatural realm of New Orleans. This private tour led by one of our local lore experts include the city's most famous voodoo queen. The walking tour takes you through the French Quarter and explores many famous locations. Your group will discover the architecture of the French Quarter and visit the home of Marie Laveau, the powerful priestess who practiced the religion in and around the quarter in the 1800s. New Orleans’ history and culture are ever-present in the colorful homes, above-ground tombs, and voodoo legends that you will unearth on this mesmerizing tour. While we do visit the outside of St. Louis Cemetery #1 and explore cemetery topics and grave culture, we do not enter any cemeteries on this tour.
