About this tour

Explore the French Quarter through the stories of goddesses whose influence crossed oceans and endured generations. On this New Orleans Goddess Walking Tour, discover Yemaya, Oshun and Oya from Yoruba-derived traditions, alongside Ezili Freda and Ezili Dantò of Haitian Vodou.

As you walk, hear sacred narratives of love, motherhood, storms, prosperity, protection and resistance. Learn how African religious knowledge survived enslavement, migration and persecution, and meet remarkable New Orleans women whose lives offer fascinating parallels to these divine figures.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
