About the Tour

A fictional tale of murder, voodoo, and teenage revenge! Immerse yourself in the world of Delphine Duval, the (teenage) Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. She's smug, high-spirited, and...deadly.

She murdered her best friend on prom night...but how is she going to cover it all up?

Hear it all unravel as you explore the French Quarter on an audio walk. Start in the heart of it all, right next to Jackson Square, and admire the French and Spanish influenced architecture. Keep an eye open for Marie Laveau's House Of Voodoo as you stroll down Bourbon Street. End your short tour at the edge of the Mississippi River.

**Please note - this is a fictional story

Best time of day

Mid-morning to early afternoon is the best time to take this tour. After 3pm, Bourbon Street, as well as other parts of the French Quarter, can get a little wild and a little crowded.

Precautions

Bourbon Street is particularly known for petty theft, so watch your belongings closely. Also, make sure to look for cars before crossing the street. Not all corners have a traffic light or stop sign.

Street parking is possible, but will be difficult. Try to find a parking garage nearby, or park a little further out and walk to where the tour begins, at Monty's on the Square.
