Our guide was very knowledgeable in voodoo history while simultaneously aware of their limited perspective.

I chose this walking tour because it was one of the few that allowed kids under 18, and a voodoo tour was the one request my daughter and her friend had for their visit to New Orleans. I found the tour less focused on voodoo and more on the influence of the Black community on the history of New Orleans. I was fine with this and thought it was great for my girls. Definitely better than salacious voodoo tales. Erin was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and with a fun sense of humor.
