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.

Treme' (pronounced Tre-May) sits adjacent to the French Quarter and is the oldest African-American neighborhood in the United States. Treme' is a vibrant area steeped in music and culture. Come explore this iconic gem and revel in New Orleans Jazz history with its roots in Congo square and Storyville, the birthplace of such Jazz greats as Alphonse Picou and Trombone shorty.
