Learn the real history of characters who lived, died, and chosen to remain in the French Quarter.
On this tour, you’ll hear the eerie tales and dark secrets of a 300 year old European neighborhood that has been ravaged by fires, epidemics, hurricanes, floods, wars, slavery and conflict. Learn the real history of colorful 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 expert 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 practiced today.
Some stories will even be brought to life with our new Augmented Reality Software created by New Orleanian Marcus Brown, a sculptor, painter, inventor, musician and educator whose expansive work includes national and international exhibits and performances. You’ll have a chance to take a photo with Marie Laveau and crackle in the Great Fire of 1788.
