Amazing knowledgable guide. Best tour in New Orleans - From start to finish I loved this tour. John is absoutley wonderful. I wish this was my first tour here cos I would have cancelled all the others and only used him. Seriously, book all your tours you can through him. His knowledge and research was impecable, his communicaton is brilliant. I learnt so much about the history of voodoo and not just the touristy bits other tours do, I feel I really understand it now and that's all thanks to John. I highly recommened him, honestly, I can't praise him enough, it was the best tour I've ever been on, really made a mark on my trip to New Orleans. A**

Jill from MD - Gomez was a very informative, interesting and engaging guide for our Voodoo queen tour. He took us to the Voodoo shop and explained numerous items, along with going to Congo Square and other highlights of the tour. We ended the tour with a second line musical experience.

You might be surprised by what Voodoo is compared to what you thought it is - A primary objective my wife and I had for taking this tour was to learn about Voodoo and what it is and is not. Our guide Gomez met and exceeded this objective. We learned what Voodoo dolls are all about and the different nuances of Voodoo in New Orleans. Although the tour was well worth our time, our guide Gomez surprised us all with a treat that made this tour our favorite tour during our trip to New Orleans. I won't say what the surprise was in case any travelers are lucky enough to get Gomez as your guide, but it was fantastic!
