Overview

Voodoo has long reigned in New Orleans legends, folklore, and history. It is shrouded in mystery and secrecy and often misrepresented in popular culture. Spirituality was hidden among the enslaved persons of the 1700s, popularized and commercialized by the famous Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau in the 19th century, and still functions as a valid religion in the modern-day city. Explore the vibrant heart of Congo Square, where enslaved Africans once gathered to practice their cultural rituals and music, laying the foundation for the city’s rich Voodoo traditions. Discover the life and legends of Marie Laveau, the most famous Voodoo practitioner in history. Voodoo Dolls, Vevers, and Gris-Gris Bags: Get hands-on with Voodoo artifacts, including dolls, vevers, and gris-gris bags, and learn their meanings and uses. Voodoo Authentica and other modern temples: Visit contemporary Voodoo temples, including Voodoo Authentica, to witness modern practices and rituals.

Voodoo Tour with High Priest Robi is a must!

Published on Jan, 2025

We did the Voodoo in Congo Square Tour with High Priest Robi, and it was incredible! If you've ever been interested in learning what Voodoo is and how it's practiced, go on this tour. I learned a lot about New Orleans and the people here, and I could see myself going on this tour again.

Book with Robi—you won’t regret it!

Had a great tour with Robi. We learned so much and had a great time. We talked about what we learned with one another and our friends the rest of our trip. Highly recommended tour!
