Our tour guide actually designed the tour and at this point is the only one who gives this tour, so she was just a wealth of information and passion and humor and compassion.

Terrific Treme Tour! - Latoya was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. She made the history come alive! The tour didn’t involve as much walking as we thought—which was good for my 82-year-old mom! This tour is great for any adults or teens interested in New Orleans’ unique & complex cultural, racial history. Latoya shared lots of great ideas for where to go after the tour to keep exploring. Thank you!
