This is a great... - This is a great opportunity to learn about the history, music, and traditions so many of us like and care about when it comes to New Orleans. You will learn a lot about the history, music, people, and culture of the Treme. Kweku (guide) is highly knowledgeable and engaging. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Thanks for the opportunity to learn so much on a lovely walk.

Connecting you to NOLA's past - Erin is a wonderful guide who is clearly passionate about the subject and the city she calls home. The tour tells a tale of a history of Treme unknown to even many locals. I am fortunate to have learned this story from someone who is such a genuine advocate for righting some of the many wrongs faced by Treme's historical inhabitants. Thank you for everything Erin!
