Excellent tour - We received a wonderful intro to the French quarter and voodoo. I have been to New Orleans previously but had never taken a tour. Learned a lot about the area and happy to know the back story of the city.

Amazing tour, the best... - Amazing tour, the best that we had in New Orleans. Tour guide Angela was the best, she is soooo good in telling stories. We got the most comprehensive story about New Orleans and French quarters as well as voodoo history. Highly recommended! Plus you get discount for hurricane cocktail :)

Learned a lot and FUN!! - AMAZING tour, highly recommend! We did the French Quarter and Voodoo History Walking Tour and Wolfy was our guide. Incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, and engaging throughout the tour (and hilarious!!) Learned so much about New Orleans and Wolfys passion for history, the city, and for being a tour guide was evident throughout the tour. Tremendous experience and would love to attend one of his other tours!!

Informative, fun,and exceptional! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and gained a lot of insight into how New Orleans was established and the various cultures that influenced the city. We also learned about the roots of Voodoo and the importance it plays in the culture of New Orleans today. Our tour guide Angela was outstanding!

Amazing tour - Our tour guide Angela made this tour so interesting. She really knew her history of the area and kept us spellbound for the entire length of the tour. She captured her audience in the first couple minutes and didn’t stop until the tour was done. Definitely the highlight of our visit to New Orleans so far

Hardly any Voodoo Talk - I can't remember our tour guide and we were unable to catch it at the end cause we couldn't stay for the full tour as it ran long and we had a scheduled event after it was supposed to end. Our tour guide was nice but she talked a lot about not much. She seemed to try to answer our questions in a way that said something and nothing at the same time. I would much rather have a simple "I don't know" instead of a long, confusing answer that didn't answer my question. It left me very confused. We got 1 story about Marie Laveau in regards to Voodoo, but the rest was about the history of the French quarter or architecture, which all the tours with this group do. It makes it feel like if you take 1 tour, you've taken them all, especially when it advertises it also being a Voodoo Tour, but it was only discussed once.

Heavy dose of CRT - Woofy was very heavy on the CRT, calling president Jackson genocide Jackson. Very Off putting. I’m here to learn about NO, not your politics! He talked a lot but provided very little info about New Orleans in general and French quarter in particular. Not recommended!
