Ghosts for the Culture! - I have done plenty of ghost tours in New Orleans and usually stick with the same ones but I am so happy that I tried something different with this tour. It's was the perfect mix between spooky, education and for the culture. I highly recommend it to everyone!

The Best and BLACKEST TOUR THERE IS!! - First and foremost Malika is one of the best tour guides my wife and I have been on a tour with IN THE WORLD! She is knowledgeable , energetic and an absolute joy to spend a few hours with in New Orleans (Truthfully I could have listened to Malika give me the full history of Nola for days!🫶) . Malika gave us the amazing, heartbreaking and tragic history of blacks in New Orleans and the tragic spirits that still roam the places they met their horrible and / or tragic ends! This history is important and not as well known, Malika brought this knowledge to us in a compassionate and passionate manor. We cannot recommend her tour enough! Malika you made our Nola trip well worth it, thank you!

Cool spooky experience with some Black History along the way - Malika was great and personalized our tour to us. She was very knowledgeable and often referred to research to back up her folklore. We learned a lot from the experience and would take a tour with Anansis Daughters again!

Best ghost tour in New Orleans - Don't miss this amazing tour of New Orleans! We booked this as part of a 40th birthday celebration and everyone in our group enjoyed this evening. Malika is a fantastic story teller. I learned so much in 90 minutes about New Orleans culture, history and Vodoo. I can't wait to come back and take the other tours!

Creepy yet educational ghost tour! - I booked this tour for my partner and I for our first trip to New Orleans. We wanted a tour that centered Black stories and this tour exceeded our expectations. Malika is a compelling and talented tour guide. She guided us through the French Quarter and didn't just tell stories of ghosts, but instead she gave valuable historical/cultural context for the era with the perfect amount of creepy haunted intel. Book this tour, you will not regret it!
