Meet your voodoo historian guide in the French Quarter to begin your walking tour. Voodoo (or voudou) is a Haitian folk religion which consists of various African magical beliefs and rites that have become mixed with Catholic elements. The origin of the word Voodoo means spirit – an invisible, mysterious force that can intervene in human affairs.During this tour, you will make your way through the historic French Quarter to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, the final resting place of history’s most revered Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau. Guests will have the added bonus of visiting a Voodoo museum and will have the opportunity to purchase Voodoo magic potions at Marie Laveau’s Voodoo Shop before heading into the cemetery.There are three St. Louis Cemeteries in New Orleans, but the oldest extant cemetery in the city is St. Louis Cemetery Number 1. It is still the site of several burials a year. Here you will notice that the cemeterys graves are above ground tombs, referred to as Cities of the Dead because they resembled small houses and make the cemetery look like a city in itself. To ensure the historic preservation of this local landmark, recent rules set by the Catholic Archdioesces of New Orleans require all visitors to this cemetery to be accompanied by a licensed tour guide.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingA moderate amount of walking is involvedInclusionsWalking tourAll taxes, fees and handling chargesEntrance feesLocal guideExclusionsGratuities (optional)Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase)Hotel pickup and drop-offDuration2 hoursVoucher InfoYou can present either a paper or an electronic voucher for this activity.The tour identified in this promotion is made available through Viator.
