Its a walking tour under the sun . Be prepare and carry water and a hat or cap. Randy was excellent. He has a lot of knowledge about the history. I love how he incorporated pieces of music into the your.

Good tour but the first hour was just in Armstrong Park. We barely got a block or two out in Treme so a bit disappointing to not see more of the actual neighborhood that remains. Great history on the park but not what we expected.
Brian_L, Dec 2025
Tour guide shared an engaging blend of the neighborhood's history and culture (with an emphasis on music), would recommend.

This is a great opportunity to learn about the history, music, and traditions so many of us like and care about when it comes to New Orleans. You will learn a lot about the history, music, people, and culture of the Treme. Kweku (guide) is highly knowledgeable and engaging. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Thanks for the opportunity to learn so much on a lovely walk.
Salima_K, Nov 2025
Kwaku was an excellent narrator and also played music that set the mood for the different sites we saw as well as the history he was sharing. He was very knowledgeable and we truly enjoyed our tour.
Frederick_K, Oct 2025
This was a very informative tour of the Treme district. Our guide, Kwaku, did an excellent job of presenting the people, music, culture, and history of this neighbor in an engaging way.

Very interesting tour of one of NO’s most famous areas. Super fun and knowledgeable guide Claire brought it all to life and kept us informed and amused during the tour. Highly recommend you as for her.
vanna_c, Sep 2025
Claire knows her NOLA and music history. She shared fascinating stories and added an audio backup to her presentations. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and highly recommend the experience.
Francis_A, Aug 2025
Excellent tour with a knowledgeable and passionate tour guide. She really understood the history of the area and us great insight into the origins of jazz music and other notable musicians.
Nicole_O, May 2025
Claire was a fantastic tour guide. The storytelling was clear, engaging, and clearly a passion of theirs. I’d been to some of the locations before, but Claire provided so much more information about the historical and present day neighborhood and culture. This tour helped me love New Orleans even more.

The tour was informative, engaging and I learned and saw a lot of Treme and NOLA.
Angelina/ Angela was a fun tour guide, she used specific music to further add depth to the tour and was mindful of the temperature outside, lol. $ well spent.

This was such an amazing tour. Our guide was so well knowledge about Treme history. There is a part in the tour that touches upon music, jazz, history of music coming out of New Orelans and how it has evolved/stolen from the people. Excellent tour!

Pepe our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the treme community and music influence in New Orleans. Being a native of New Orleans, I learned some information that I didn’t know. My wife was excited to learn soo much.

Pepe took us through the park and the town of Treme where we learned a great deal about the history of the town and black history. We lucked up and ended up on a private tour. Great deal and awesome tour!
KyNeike_K, Dec 2024
It's hard to pick one part of this tour as my most memorable. I really enjoyed everything, from the musical interludes to seeing the colorful homes. If I had to pick something, it would be the Tomb of the Unknown Slave. Bobby, the tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.
kenneth_g, Nov 2024
Erin was the most wonderful tour guide. Passionate, funny, positive and empathetic. Her little extra such as playing music throughout the tour was perfect.
Cherilyn_W, Oct 2024
Our tour guide was very open to questions and was a good listener who customized the tour commentary on the fly.
Niteen_P, Oct 2024
Our guide Eva was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We learnt a lot of the history and she had many interesting stories. She clearly loved what she did and went beyond the planned time.
Judith_D, Jul 2024
The tour guide was amazing! She was like a walking history book. There was so much to learn. Very interesting facts and some things that just made you sad and angry! It was a very hot day and I don't think I would have continued if not for the tour guide that brought you into the stories of the neighborhoo. I wish I could remember her name but she is tiny in stature but big in history.
Karen_D, Jun 2024
Nikka was our tour guide, and she was phenomenal. We learned so much, and she took her time explaining things and answering questions. This is a tour everyone should take, as it is important to know and understand the history of this city that is not taught or widely known. In the middle of the tour we stopped for something cold to drink at a local coffee shop that also serves snow cones. Be sure to tip your guides! Always.
Therese_S, Jun 2024
This was a very informative and fun walking tour - beginning in Lois Armstrong Park and then walking the streets of the TREME neighborhood. Our guide Nika played bits of famous jazz pieces to illustrate her stories about different people and places.
Valerie_C, Jun 2024
Erin our tour guide was amazing and well versed in the cultural history of New Orleans. Very interesting and informative tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone.
Mathias_W, May 2024
Erin was extremely knowledgeable and made this the best tour we had in NOLA. She didn’t sugarcoat the black experience and history of the Treme neighborhood
