Nola Voodoo Walking Tour with High Priestess Guide in New Orleans

Overview

The majority of the Voodoo tours in the city are offered by those who are either non-initiates, or those who do not have the lineage to support their understanding and service to the religion.
This is the only Voodoo/Vodou tour offered in New Orleans that is lead by a High Priestess of Louisiana Plantation Vodou. Malika/Osheyo Amanzi has additional initiations as an Isefa and Olorisa. Her bloodline can be traced back to the coast of Virgina and the Carolinas, home of the Gullah-Geechee who have their own West African-based religions, as well as Nigeria and Kenya.

Really educational and informative tour of the African American side of New Orleans and spiritual practices. Tour stayed within Louis Armstrong park so not a lot of walking around. Really enjoyed the story telling aspect, our guide was so energetic and kept the energy up on a very cold and windy day.

This tour was over the top informative, engaging, and entertaining! Malika was amazing and incredibly empathetic. She went out of her way to answer all questions and make all of us feel included. She made us face and conquer some of our built in biases and assumptions about the history of our country. We highly recommend this tour as one of the most eye-opening experiences we've had in Nola!

A fantastic tour . An engaging story teller that imparts true knowledge. My husband reads extensively .. studies topics , and is a true scholar . He selected the tour , I accompanied, and was left impressed, surprised, and informed … We feel is simply the best tour we’ve ever been on in any city … If you are in New Orleans, you must go , you will be pleased !!!
