Your tour guide will point out where the first regular Voodoo ceremony’s actually took place each and every Sunday. – Guests will learn about Marie Laveau the Voodoo Queen during the Voodoo portion of the tour.

One of our groups and the tour guide that attended this tour love sharing this story! – A fun memory- this was a very small group and they decided they wanted to stop and try Oyster Shooters from one of the restaurants that has a bar located inside. Everyone was blown away by this Oyster Shooter, and it took the tour guide three tries to swallow the shooter. The guests laughed and laughed at the guide who have such a difficult time getting that Oyster Shooter down!! Not only a ton of fun, this tour is more like having an instant NOLA friend show you around and ensure that you learn and experience as much as possible the amount of time we have during this tour. So many travelers visit New Orleans and miss out on the best spots in town and do not learn about the city simply because they have no idea where to start… Look no further my friends.
