Too much standing and not enough exploring. I thought is would be much more seeing spots where voodoo happened. Houses ect. Loved the tour guide she was very nice but I wouldn't recommend this tour if your looking to really have fun going to historic voodoo spots

Thank you for your review. The Voodoo Tour is a very academic tour on the RELIGION of Voodoo. It discusses the origins of Voodoo, how it came to New Orleans, how it is practiced, etc. A more 'fun' tour selection might have been the Ghost or Vampire Tours.

When it was over. We felt this tour was nothing it was advertised to be. Very boring and we really were not even made aware of what we were looking at.

Thank you for your review. The Voodoo Tour is definitely more of an 'academic' tour, which is why you may have felt it was 'boring'. We advertise the Voodoo Tour to as one to educate you on the religion of Voodoo, how it came to New Orleans, how it is practiced, etc. If you would like, feel free to contact me directly and I will send you a complimentary copy of our bestselling book, 'New Orleans Ghosts, Voodoo, & Vampires.'

It was interesting to learn more about voodoo beyond the stereotypes presented by Hollywood. Our guide Toast was very informative and made it special by playing clips of songs. Maybe because it was the end of a long day, but he talked so fast with so much information it was sometimes hard to keep up and process. But overall a great experience.
