Fantastic tour! - Fantastic tour! Realized immediately that I knew nothing about voodoo. Scott did a great job mixing in New Orleans history and stories about voodoo. It was pouring the whole time, but that never stopped us walking around and seeing all the stops along the way. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks for a great day!

Amazing experience! - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating (we had someone in a wheelchair and a service dog also). He always made sure we were close enough to be able to hear what he was saying. He told all the different stories very well and was able to bring out the NOLA history and culture to us. The only thing wrong with the tour wasn’t anything about the tour, it was about the road and sidewalks. They were difficult to traverse at times with a manual wheelchair.

Orion Couling is the best! - If you are looking for a tour that really focuses on history and delivered with respect of the culture - book with Orion! He is a true historian and his tours are a fascinating learning experience. (He’s also funny, charming, and engaging so it’s not like a lecture!). I’m a local but my visiting family wants to book a tour with him every time they visit.

Informative Tour - Our tour guide Wes was great. We learned a lot about the history of VooDoo. Wes took the time to answer questions and even gave us some insider tips on where to go for lunch.
