Meet your certified New Orleans guide in the heart of the French Quarter and make your way through the historic neighborhood on foot. With historical ties to Voodoo, or Voudou, in New Orleans, your guide shares insider knowledge of this folk religion that mixes African- and Haitian-based magical elements with Catholic rites. En route, stop by the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum and browse for potions and protection spells at Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo. You'll also stop at a Voodoo temple and hear the history of Congo Square.
