Hear the eerie tales and dark secrets of a 300-year old European area that has been ravaged by fires, epidemics, hurricanes, floods, wars, slavery and conflict. Learn the real history of colourful characters who lived, died and have chosen to remain in the French Quarter.
Follow their shadows down cobbled alleys, through streets aglow with gas lamps and feel the mythical presence that makes New Orleans the most haunted city in America.
Your guide will introduce you to Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau and share the evolution of Voodoo, a religion that arrived with the first West African slaves in 1719 and is still practised today. Voodoo dances and rituals have merged so intimately with New Orleans’ contemporary culture that it often goes unrecognized… but you'll recognise it tonight!
Come see why New Orleans is #MoreThanBourbonStreet.
