We did a walking tour of Treme and enjoyed it a lot. Our guide Emily had a tremendous amount of information. The only negatives were that whenever I was in the mid-to-back part of the group, I could not hear her as she answered questions and filled in information. When we stopped as a group, she was very audible. Also... More

My wife and I took this tour over Easter weekend from the French Quarter Phantoms Ghost Tours and enjoyed it immensely. Recommended Luke Siddall was a knowledgeable tour guide and gave us the rich colorful history of the district. Just a note, this is not a tour based upon the HBO series, but rather more of the history and neighborhood... More

We were all made welcome by the bubbly Emily. She ended as she started - full of interesting facts about this vibrant area. We realised how little we knew about the Civil Rights Movement. The walk is at a leisurely pace so don't be put off by the term walk. At the end you visit a nice little local cafe... More

This tour was so interesting and full of history about New Orleans. Luke our tour guide was very funny and informative. You could tell he has a love for the city and that love was infectious. The tomb of the unknown slave was truly moving.

If you're looking for an authentic, historical and sociological tour of the Treme area (which does by no means rhyme with boring), you MUST choose this tour (and ask for Luke as a guide!). And if you are a music addict, then you have found the right person to listen and talk to, for besides being an entertaining guide, Luke... More

Super interesting tour. Our guide, Luke, was very friendly and accessible. You have a reduction if you book your ticket by Internet (18$ by web and 22& at the door)

I really enjoyed this tour our family took with Hope. It was exactly what I was looking for, an engaging and history intensive look at some really important aspects of african american history in New Orleans. By far the best tour we took while we were there!! I HIGHLY recommend!

What a terrific way to spend a spring afternoon. Luke was an excellent tourguide, providing a wealth of info about the area, as well as giving us a historical context for what we were seeing. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to see a real neighborhood in New Orleans.

We spent two wonderful hours today touring Treme. Our tour guide, Luke, was fantastic and his knowledge of and enthusiasm for the subject made for a most enjoyable--and informative--experience. We knew quite a bit about Treme and New Orleans beforehand, but learned so much more. We can't recommend this tour and our tour guide, Luke, highly enough. Bring your walking... More

This tour is for tourists who want to know the "real" New Orleans beyond the barf and beads of Bourbon Street. Robert was very knowledge about the history of one of the original Free People of Colour neighbourhoods in America. Safe and on its way up, I am glad to have walked the streets of Treme and learned a lot... More
