You'll also be verbally progressed through the evolution of Voodoo, which is still practiced today, and how it has influenced Crescent City. At the end of the tour, you'll receive your very own "gris gris" bag as well as find out just exactly what "gris gris" is. To make sure you get the most out of your tour, excursions are limited to 22 passengers per tour guide.
