Great morning walking around Treme. Our guide was really good, knowledgeable about the local area and the history. It was very hot on our particular day so take plenty of water, although the cafe stop was a welcome relief.
I went with Erin on this walk and I enjoyed every bit of it. She was very knowledgeable and told it how it was. No watered down version to make it enjoyable.
We had our tour with Erin, she did a great job. She is very knowledgable about the history of the city and kept our tour group engaged the whole time.
Randy was an excellent tour guide! Very knowledgeable and thorough! Definitely recommend for anyone in town!
Our tour guide, Kweku, was knowledgeable and provided an insightful overview of the neighborhoods history. I highly recommended this tour and suggest requesting Kweku as your guide.
If you saw the HBO show Treme, some parts of this tour will look very familiar. That was kind of neat. I really wanted to know more about the history of this area after seeing the show, and our guide, Kweku, was so knowledgeable: I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend!
I found the tour to be enjoyable, laid back and informative. Our tour guide, Kweku, was extremely knowledgeable. The music he provided during the tour was a plus. Would definitely recommend!
Such a great tour and a greater guide!
I ended up taking this tour due to an ad and realizing I knew nothing about the neighborhood of Treme. I'm glad I did as this tour was amazing. I had Erin as a guide who showed both knowledge on the history of the neighborhood and a passion for its story and the tour itself. Overall a great experience and I recommend it.
If you can only do one tour in New Orleans- make it this one and ask for Erin! It went by so quickly and I was left wishing it could have been a full day to get to go deeper. This is a history you won’t get anywhere else and it’s so vital to learn the realities of the legacies of slavery in this town.
