It can be really hot so bring cooling tools - ice water, umbrella, fan, cooling wrap, etc. It was very educational!

An absolute highlight of our visit! Dartanya is a fantastic storyteller who brought the history of Tremé to life. We left feeling enriched, inspired, and much more connected to the real heart of New Orleans. She shared so much fascinating history that we never would have discovered on our own. Truly an unforgettable experience! Thank you Anansi's Daughters crew!
Response from Host, May 2026

LaToya is an amazing story teller and keeper of Treme history. Love and exuberance for the neighborhood shows through. What a great way to round out the history of New Orleans.
Do yourself a favor, visit an amazing neighborhood that IS New Orleans. Eat at Li’l Dizzy’s Cafe and visit Backstreet Cultural Museum for Mardi Gras history and costumes on display.
All amazing, all worth the time.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for the warm review! LaToya is a wordsmith for sure, and one of the most genuine culture-bearers I’ve met here in New Orleans. We hope you come back and take more tours with us in the future!

What an enjoyable tour with loads of history both past and present with humor and with reality. Would recommend for a different flavor of New Orleans
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re so glad you enjoyed it! We love sharing the magic of the City from a BBIPOC perspective. 🥰
BARBARA_S, Nov 2025
Latoya was energetic, engaged and brimming with facts/stories. She easily weathered a distasteful encounter with another guide in Louis Armstrong Park, and rolled with the punches when the tour stop coffee place was closed.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We’re so glad you had a good time! LaToya is indeed magic, and her light is the best defense against the foolishness out there sometimes! Come back again and take another tour! 🥰
Tavious_P, Jul 2025
THIS experience was my absolute favorite of all of my tours. Just learning the history about the Treme and the historical features of the music from the negro slaves to the croons, wails, and bellows of instruments these Black and Brown peoples put their hands and lips to was just awe inspiring.
My tour guide was absolutely phenomenal in the way she tells the story of all that is featured in the park. The way she gave context really helped bring what we were seeing and hearing to life. She was very knowledgeable and made me want to return to New Orleans for another visit.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
So glad you enjoyed the tour! LaToya is truly a treasure.
Nimo_A, Jun 2025
Latoya is Amazing! Months on and I am still raving on about Tremè and Nola’s rich history. Very informative and everything and more you would expect from a Black History tour. My favourite was the Backstreet Museum which i returned back to after the tour and had a in depth tour of the museum. & Calas to WORLD! Make sure to stop off at the Noaam for a taste :)
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Latoya IS amazing! I’m so glad you got to witness her magic first hand. I hope you come back soon, and take another tour with us!

It was a wonderful, upbeat, informative tour. We’d walked through that park and parts of Treme before but with Latanya sharing the rich history, culture and special nuances of New Orleans it made it an incredible experience.

Anansi’s Daughters are so knowledgeable, and deeply connected to the culture and history of New Orleans, they made us feel reverence and inspiration for the city. The rest of the trip we were referring back things Malika told us.

We had an amazing time on this tour with our guide Malika. She is warm, funny and incredibly knowledgeable about the true history and culture of New Orleans. As both a Vodou High Priestess and an academic, you get the best of all worlds. Do yourself a favour and book this tour.

Thanks so much for the glowing review! We hope you come back to visit soon!
Fort_A, Jun 2024
This was by far the most enjoyable and informative of the many tours I have taken in New Orleans. Malika really knows her local history and is a great story-teller. I would recommend to anyone who wants to more than scratch the surface and find out how people really lived in this fascinating city.
