An outstanding tour guide (Mr. Wednesday)! The information provided was thorough, accurate, and presented in a way that was easy to follow and engaging. I learned so much and appreciated how questions were welcomed and thoughtfully answered. This tour exceeded expectations. Music was added for a great atmosphere.
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.

This was the best tour-Erin was amazing and we would recommend this tour to everyone. She was so passionate, knowledgeable, and honest. Enjoyed the music, even a special peek inside Perseverance Hall/Lodge, and a parade/march on MLK day. So special. Do not miss this one.

Amazing tour by Erin! We had very thoughtful discussions. Incredible history and information of this historic area. Highly recommend this!

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.

Tour guide shared an engaging blend of the neighborhood's history and culture (with an emphasis on music), would recommend.
