Description

Discover New Orleans’ spiritual and cultural heartbeat on this 1.5 hour walking exploration through the French Quarter, Congo Square, and Saint Louis Cemetery #1. A licensed local guide shares vivid storytelling that brings to life the city’s voodoo roots, burial traditions, and architectural legacy.

Begin in Congo Square—where enslaved Africans gathered to dance, drum, and practice early forms of voodoo—before winding through French Quarter streets lined with Creole architecture, narrow alleys, and tales of New Orleans characters. The narrative includes the legendary Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau and her enduring presence in local lore.

Continue to the exterior of St. Louis Cemetery #1, exploring funeral customs rooted in above-ground crypt traditions and learning about notable figures interred within. This concise yet rich experience offers photo moments, cultural insight, and a memorable glimpse into the city’s mystical side.

*Please note: St. Louis Cemetery #1 cannot be entered due to an ongoing Catholic Cemetery lawsuit. However, the tour will explore the outside of St. Louis #1, Congo Square in the scenic Louis Armstrong Park, St. Ann Street, and Jackson Square. Each tour offers a unique experience.
