The subject matter is creepy and macabre, but think of this as a PG-13 experience — we can raise or lower the fear factor depending on who's on the tour. The stories are real, the history is dark, and some guests do leave a little unsettled. But there are no jump scares, and this is a history tour first. The ghosts are just part of the story.
Not in the way you might expect. This tour is educational and respectful — we're here to understand Voodoo, not sensationalize it. That said, some of what you'll learn may genuinely surprise you.
Fantastic tour!! No need to look any further if you're looking for an experience that doesn't feel gimicky. The tour guides don't add extra fluff to the stories, they're spooky enough on their own.

Mysteries of Voodoo Tour
My wife and I went on the Voodoo Tour with Evian, and it was really incredible. Specific, complex, decolonized history that opened up the city for us. Evian was a fantastic tour guide. We enjoyed every moment, highly recommend.

Ghosts of the French Quarter Tour
Great company to tour with! Our guide Dalvin was knowledgeable and entertaining, loved how intimate it was and heard really great stories along the way. We used the ghost tube app while on tour and the hot spots were hitting!

Ghost tour questions
This is probably our most kid-friendly tour. Think of it as a PG-13 scary movie — we adjust for younger guests on the tour, and if your kids can handle that kind of spooky, they'll have a blast.
The tour moves at a steady pace and stopping for food isn't possible. We strongly recommend eating a solid meal beforehand — and your guide will have great recommendations for afterward.
It is indeed a common spelling, but historical records — including newspaper accounts from the time — consistently use a lowercase second L. We go with the historical record.
This tour covers approximately 1 mile, with periods of standing for up to 15 minutes; guests will be walking or standing throughout the entire two-hour tour.
No. This tour focuses on the living tradition of New Orleans Voodoo — its history, its practices, and its place in the culture of the city.
Like the rest of our culture, New Orleans Voodoo is unique because it combines many different versions of the religion, brought to New Orleans by people from different countries. For the sake of simplicity, it is largely a result of blending Haitian Voodoo and multiple African Voodoo traditions. The people who practice Voodoo here are also unique because many also practiced Catholicism, and therefore there are elements of the Catholic traditions integrated as well.
Our guides have spent years studying the religion academically. While some are practitioners themselves, they have all attended multiple Voodoo rituals and ceremonies, and have first-hand knowledge of the faith and practices learned from Voodoo priests and priestesses.
Not all of it rests easy.
Real history, a hard cap of 9 guests, and a guide who knows the stories.
