The Voodoo Bone Lady is very friendly, she opens the shop only for me. She gives me many information about Voodoo. When I stay in New Orleans next time, I will visit the shop again. read more

I was walking by the shop and was approached by the voodoo bone lady for a reading. She has an inviting vibe and decided to come back later for a actual reading. I enjoyed my experience and would recommend this place. read more

Don't know why I never reviewed her but we took her cemeteries tour the first time I went to Nola almost 10 years ago and we loved it! I recommend read more

I was so scared to go on the 5 in 1 tour but my daughter made me so it.... The Bone Lady is great! She's a wonderful story teller and brought the history of New Orleans to life. Did we see any ghosts? Well not with our eyes but the pictures we took definitely have some orbs in them that we couldn't explain. Naysayers will come up with all the reasons the orbs are in the photos but I know what I see! Don't miss your opportunity to tour with The Bone Lady! read more

Everything was great! Awesome shop! She was so kind and approachable! I'd come and time and time!

Thought it would be fun to visit a card reader while in NOLA as We've had our cards read from time to time. The woman who read our cards was NOT knowledgeable about interpretation. She kept going on about being from an old line of gypsy readers, but all she could do is say what each card was and not the meaning of the spread. Rip off. Expensive and not remotely accurate. read more

My girlfriend and I came down here for a ghost tour on 01/25/19. The tour was absolutely incredible!!! We would actually consider booking the same tour again because it was that good!! You meet up at a pre designated spot and leave promptly at the time you're supposed to. They do pickup at local hotels and you can sign in from your phone. The company is very professional /!: have been doing this for some time. There is a a bathroom break midway through and a chance to grab some adult beverages. Our tour guide was Brian and he was GREAT!!! He went out of his way to show up the city, tell us some great stories, and show us some really cool things. He was funny, knowledgeable, and did a really, really good job. I would absolutely want him to be our tour guide again. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!! Get a cocktail, take in some history and learn about the haunted side of NOLA! read more

One of the things we wanted to do while visiting NOLA was a cemetery tour. We decided to book with the Bone Lady. We booked easily online for a 1pm walking tour. The cost was $25 + $1 service fee per person. Discover is an accepted form of payment. The tour lasts about 2 hours so prepare accordingly. It's super hot and about 10* hotter once you enter the cement cemetery. Bring enough water and wear your sunscreen or wide brimmed hats. Roughly 1 hour into the tour, a stop will be made to allow tourists a short bathroom break and bottled water purchase. The water is $1 each and cash only. During the first part of the tour the Bone Lady explains the unique architecture found in the French Quarter. From there the Bone Lady took us to Congo Park where she explained the somber history and joyful future of the African and Native Americans. Lastly we ended up at the St. Louis Cemetery #1 where we were able to view Marie Laveau and Nicholas Cage's tombs. The Bone Lady is prompt, passionate, knowledgeable and empathetic in her surroundings as well as in her history. Thank you Bone Lady for showing us a bit or insight into your colorful diverse city. Be sure to bring cash to tip your guide. read more

We had a group of 8 and everyone in the group had a great time. It wasn't as scary but a lot of history. It is rain or shine. Bring walking shoes. Randy was legit. Too legit. Too legit to quit. I appreciated that Randy gave us a safe word. He was looking out for us! read more

This was my favorite tour by far in New Orleans. The store is a definite location to check out. But I recommend doing this tour in the evening for the full effect ;) read more

We went on a tour for my birthday and had an excellent time! I was worried that it might be a bit boring, but Brian is amazing and the stories will entertain and spook you. I will remember this tour for as long as I live! Leave a few minutes early so you can find the place. We got lost on the way and the tour guide was kind enough to wait a few minutes for us, but we felt bad because it was a big group. Thank you for making my bday extra special!! Highly recommend this tour...AND BRIAN! read more

The Voodoo Bone Lady tour wasn't our first choice for my friends bachelorette party. We actually planned to do the boos and booze one, but that sold out and they couldn't accommodate our group. After searching I found Voodoo Bone Lady, the 5 in 1 sounded like a good deal so we went with it. Her tour was great from the stories to her kindness. I didn't give 5 stars because I thought we would be allowed access into these haunted places, unfortunately it was simply standing outside listening to her story and taking pictures. I would definitely recommend her tour. Just remember it is a walking tour and New Orleans is HOT! read more

Bre is an outstanding guide! We booked their "The Infamous City of the Dead Cemetery Tour" & had a blast! It is a 2 hour tour. Not only did we get to tour the cemetery, but Bre gave us the 411 on the history of NOLA, slavery, architecture, what VooDoo truly is (not what is portrayed in the media), Hurricane Katrina, music, lively culture that is New Orleans, & more! It was great learning all of this from Bre because she is a native & we got to learn about the traditions she was brought up with. Make sure to wear sunscreen, sun gear, etc. because even though it was just warm, the sun beats down on you. In addition, it is like 100 degrees in the cemetery so bring water! (In case you forget, there is a friendly man that sells water for cheaper outside). read more

We had an awesome tour guide for this, I just don't think we could have prepared enough for the july heat. I thought it would be cooler the later it got, but it stuck around, and made the tour hard to handle. I really want to come back in the Fall / early Winter and go again because the stories were so much fun and the tour guide was so engaging! Just an FYI, the "5-in-1" tour is really just 5 different topics they cover, not five different tours, but still well worth it. Highly recommend, especially if you're there when it's not 100+! read more

Amidst the slew of tours in this great 'haunting' city, we settled on the help of the great reviews of prior Yelpers. Our guide was super enthusiastic, which I believe is required for any good tour guides, and was super knowledgeable about the tour in general. It wasn't a super long tour, but there were many great stories and a break in the middle where a bar was nearby for refreshments. Definitely enjoyable! And do go and get one of their spots for readings. It was incredible to say the least! Don't forget to tip the guide! read more

We had the Voodoo nine lady herself for the tour and she was a great story teller. Engaging with the audience and had lots of interesting facts to share. We did the 5pm tour. Some good creepy story telling although would have been a bit better if later in the evening. She was very punctual which we appreciate and was very customer focused. The tour ends at her Voodoo shop and her husband brought out some cool "show and tell" while she shared information about voodoo of which she is a 5th generation practitioner. Everything seemed very factual (or at least historical ) which I liked. I would recommend and I would also recommend having voodoo daddy do a bones reading. It isn't cheap but it seems more like the real deal . Check it out read more

Do you like Drunk History? If you do, this is the tour for you! Please note that our guide, Brian, was definitely not intoxicated but his style of story telling was spectacular. There weren't any costumes like the other tours we came across and it wasn't cheesy by any means. He was just the best story teller I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing this tour with. I wouldn't say that it was "family friendly" as there was a lot of F bombs being thrown (which I really enjoyed). Anyways, we did the 5-in-1 tour which included ghosts, zombies, voodoo, vampires, and pirates with a bar break ;) It was extremely fun and two hours seemed to pass super quick. That just shows how much we enjoyed it. If you are going to do a tour in NOLA, this is the one you want. CHEERS! read more

Amazing! 5 in 1 Tour plus more! Probably the biggest reason i'd come back to N.O. Brian our guide was outstanding. Scared the ever-living out of me and my friends. just telling the god's honest truth. Educating, and fun tour. i wore flip flops right after it rained but the walk wasn't even that bad. we even stopped at haunted bar ('cuz you know they REALLY enjoy drinking in this town) to rest and have a haunted drink. It was a delight having someone give us the real wrap on this town and i WISHED i would have had more time down there to go to the cemetery tour (or the other one they do which i forget) Just go online, order tickets, and GO! well worth every penny. read more

First of all I want to thank Michael and Brian for being such great tour guides! I highly recommend them! They were funny, animated, knowledgeable. We learned so much. I recon do the cemetery tour and the 5in 1 ghost tour. read more

We did two tours with Brian today (cemetery and 5 in 1) he was very knowledgeable and shared lots of great facts and tales about the city and its history while still adding lots of personal and Southern flair to his stories. He was always happy, in fact, excited to answer questions and we threw out our fair share. Brian seemed genuinely concerned that everyone have a good time, be safe and learn some stuff along the way. My wife daughter and I loved it and learned lots.... great way to start our stay in the big easy!!! read more

The voodoo bone lady was absolutely amazing! She made the whole experience so much fun while learning the history of New Orleans! Definitely check it out while you are here! She also gave us great recommendations of what to do while we stay here. Thank you so much for the experience! read more

Was able to take both the Cemetery tour and the Haunted tour and both were absolutely amazing. The Voodoo Bone lady gave our cemetery tour and she was so informative and knowledgeable about the cemetery and the practice of Voodoo. She gave me a whole new perspective. And that evening we had a ghost tour with Anthony and oh my goodness he was exceptional. He was funny and knowledgeable. We had the best tour I have ever been on. The passion and ties these locals have with the city along with their personalities made these tours so great. read more

I just saw I never finished this review. My friend and I loved this tour, it was one of the highlights of our trip. I still talk about three years later and remember some of the cool and interesting things we learned about New Orleans. I love learning about the culture and history of a place or people, so this tour was very interesting an fun. I highly recommend it. read more

We did a 2 hour 5 in 1 walking tour with the Voodoo Bone Lady. We learned about pirates, ghosts, vampires, spells, and voodoo. We also learned some about the history of New Orleans, which was cool too. I enjoyed her tremendously and thought she was funny, entertaining, and engaging. read more

This was an entertaining experience, mixed with some historical facts. Our tour guide (Brian I believe was his name) was animated and friendly. He had the classic Nola accent, and tried to speak over a very boisterous parade we passed to no avail. He remedied the raucousness by going to a quieter spot up the street. I wouldn't mind doing one of their additional tours when I come back. read more

The Voodoo Bone Lady Tours - Our tour guide Brian - Tours Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I was skeptical of doing any walking tour, especially a ghost tour. However, since New Orleans claims to be the most haunted city, I took the leap and signed up for this tour. I can tell you that the experience was great! I think the experience should be measured by the guide. Ultimately, the tour like all the others stop at the same locations, so the guide must be able to tell a story that brings these haunted stories to life. Our guide "Brian" exceeded my expectations, and by far the most entertaining guide I saw and heard. I would go on this tour - just to have Brian tell the stories again. My only constructive criticism is that the tour group size would be best with 10 people max. The areas and buildings on the tour were interesting, but don't expect to be ghost hunting - it is more about the history of the most popular and active haunted areas/ buildings in the French quarter! read more

Our first walking tour in New Orleans and it was very informative! Michael, our guide, was very entertaining and knowledgeable! We highly recommend it next time your in NOLA read more

I went with a group of 12 for the 1pm cemetery tour. Brie was so fun and knowledgeable. Many of us have lived in New Orleans for a few years now and we learned SO much. A guided tour is the only way to enter St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 and I highly recommend the Voodoo Bone Lady Tours! We got to see all the famous sights in the cemetery, including the very popular Nicholas Cage's tomb. It was a beautiful day out but it could definitely get very hot if you go in the summer. The tour took a little over 2 hours with a bathroom break. Definitely wear comfortable shoes and bring sunglasses and any other sun protection equipment. read more

I truly enjoyed this walking tour of NOLA. I went to the early (5:00) tour. Lasted just over two hours including a 10 minute break in the middle for the bathroom and libations at a historic bar. Brian is a NOLA native and really knows his stuff. Not only that, he's an amazing public speaker and keeps the information entertaining. read more

My friend and I went for the 8 pm tour. It was pretty entertaining. Brian was on top of entertainment through the 2 hours. I expected the tour to be scary - walk through haunted houses, cemeteries, maybe a seance room. But it was basically a walk around the French Quarter. I was pretty grossed out by the history behind the LaLaurie house and the stories of the Andrew Jackson hotel were a little unnerving. Other than that, it was an entertaining giggle-worthy tour. FYI: you stop at the Blacksmith Shop Bar- if you're not a fan of grapefruit, do NOT buy the daiquiri. Hurricane, which is the other drink recommended is a run based drink. So, if you're like me and don't like rum either, try to go with your choice rather than a recommendation. The grapefruit daiquiri was too sweet and grapefruity for me. Overall, good tour. Just wish I'd actually been a little more scared. read more

I found the Groupon for the Bone Lady's cemetery tour, and you can't go to New Orleans without seeing St Louis cemetery No. 1. Reserving our tour was quick and easy; we were all set the week before. Brian was our tour guide and he arrived promptly. It was a very informative tour; he stopped along the way so it wasn't just a "death march" across the French Quarter, and made sure we had an opportunity to stand in the shade or even sit. Our group was small so he encouraged questions. He was as respectful to the other tours and "residents" of the cemetery as he was to us. He had us wait for other groups to finish, and kept us entertained in the meantime. It was a very good tour and he was a great guide! read more

We chose this tour because of the raving reviews online AND because Voodoo Bone Lady herself usually does the tours. We called ahead and confirmed she would be hosting the 5 in 1 ghost tour. We were stoked. This hands down was an awesome tour! She is so charismatic, personable and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone that goes to Nola! Thank you Voodoo Bone Lady! read more

The Voodoo Bone Lady Tours - Tours Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

So, I bought a Groupon and this is where the story usually turns bad but, to my surprise this is the best tour I have been on in New Orleans. My friends had never been to New Orleans so, I decided the best way to give them a culture lesson was with the Cemetery Tour! This was much more than a Cemetery Tour! It included the history of neighborhoods while we walked. We learned what romeo spikes are, why the homes look the way they do architecturally in certain areas and the history behind Louis Armstrong Park. Our guides name was Barry and we had a small group with a lot of fun people on the tour. Barry brought a sense of humor and personality to the tour that only a great guide can bring! I have been on tours that were so boring because the guide was boring but, not Barry! I felt the pace of the tour was easy and we wound around the french quarter, stopped by the visitor center (coffee & bathrooms), then to the cemetery and a stop at Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel. We learned about yellow fever, burial customs, different monuments within the cemetery, etc. I highly recommend taking the tour and with this Groupon I feel like I came out way ahead. Oh and don't forget to tip your awesome tour guide at the end!!!!! read more

"N'awlins"and voodoo go hand in hand so it's a must to capture the ghostly tales with a haunted tour. Step right up to the Voodoo Bone lady. Not only is this a fun personable tour but the staff is beyond amazing with their courteous customer service. Mari returned my VM message immediately and was perseverant in finding me two spots on a popular evening tour. Lucky us we got the Bone lady herself on our ominous Monday night tour. Arriving in her trademark red turban promptly at 8pm we trotted down Royal street to begin the festivities. She is indeed a great storyteller and will draw you in with her animated renditions of folk lore. Do not be concerned you will be up all night with nightmares as it is all a pleasant experience with no squeamish tales. There is often a $5 coupon in tourist books which brings the cost to $20 per person. Money well spent to add a memorable experience on your visit. read more

In planning our trip to New Orleans, my friend suggested we do a haunted voodoo tour. Misreading the email, and thinking I was signing up for a Vodka Tour, you can imagine my surprise when we got to Madame Laveau's and there was no distilling equipment in sight. Compounding this, when our tour guide started to describe the haunted background of New Orleans, I couldn't help but roll my eyes a bit (correction: a whole lot actually). However, once he started leading us through the French Quarter, my skepticism quickly faded away. Our tour guide Randy managed to give the backstory of New Orleans and its history as a colony, first of the Spanish, then the French, and finally the Americans. Throughout it all, the only constant was something unnatural and dare I say paranormal. Randy managed to keep our group of about 20 entertained, educated and slightly scared. Though perhaps I was the most scared, when I spontaneously started bleeding right as he began talking about vampires!! (Thankfully it was only a nosebleed brought by dry air and dehydration) Throughout our vacation in NOLA, we kept running into other tour guides, yet Voodoo Bone Lady was the absolute best, hands down, namely due to Randy and the incredible tour he gave. read more

The Voodoo Bone lady is awesome. We just finished the cemetery tour with the Voodoo Bone lady herself. She's very knowledgeable and professional with a touch of genuine humor. We walked to St. Louis cemetery no. 1. with multiple stops along the way. She gave interesting information about this wonderful city which also included a bit in regards to hurricane Katrina. We did not read all of the FAQs but keep in mind this is a walking tour. (Seems obvious in hindsight but I guess some tours shuttle you). Buy water from the store where the tour meets and do not hesitate to grab another one at the pit stop before going into the cemetery. We booked online the night before the tour with no issues. They even have a counter letting you know how many spots are still available for each tour. There are a ton of tour offerings in NOLA and choosing one can be overwhelming. This tour is worth the price and I would be interested in other tours with this company. They are a smaller tour company which is something I'm always in favor of supporting. read more

We booked St. Louis cemetery tour, our guide randy was funny and informative. I believe that you have to be a part of a tour to visit this cemetery. It is kind a lot of walking to get to the cemetery but you got a rest at the visitor center by the cemetery. It is 2 hour tour. read more

It's easy to be wary when you use something like Groupon...yeah, it's a good deal, but you just don't know if you're getting your discounted money's worth. Lucky for us the Voodoo Bone Lady turned out to be a great deal. The only tricky part is figuring out where to meet up...we got an address, but it was for a grocery store and not any kind of office. Turns out that everyone was just meeting up at that corner, so if you get there early don't get too confused, the VBL will be meeting you up shortly. We did the cemetary tour, and were pleasantly surprised to have a few "extras" thrown in, like a bit of history of New Orleans in general and VBL's personal experiences living there during Hurricane Katrina. She was knowledgeable and made sure everyone could hear her...well, except for the obnoxious drunk guy (in a Vikings jersey btw) with us who would barely pay attention. Oh well, can't do anything about that. It was blistering hot, involved a lot of walking and lasted a few hours, but well worth it. Just be sure to stock up on liquids and stick close so you don't miss a drop of information. read more
