Full description
Take a guided walking tour of Tremé, the birthplace of New Orleans jazz and the center of the city’s Creole culture. Your licensed guide, a local historian, will tell you about this vibrant neighborhood’s African-American history and the rise of the civil rights movement. As you explore this area, you’ll visit St. Augustine Church, The Tomb of the Unknown Slave, and the only laundromat that made its way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Jelly Roll Morton, Alphonse Picou, and Trombone Shorty are just some of the New Orleans jazz greats who were born here.

Our guide, Erin, was very knowledgeable on the history of the area and provided us with an informative and interesting tour. The information she provides online, which can be accessed afterwards, really compliments what she shares during the tour. I highly recommend it when in NOLA!!

I think the guide’s name was J.J.? An absolute authority on the Treme, as she grew up in the area and is a musician herself. Her knowledge and enthusiasm were infectious! She was able to impart important information and have fun at the same time. This is a great tour, definitely worth your time.

This was the best part of my 5 day trip to New Orleans. The amount of dedication and passion from our guide, Erin, was exceptional. She was incredibly thorough and down to earth. There is so much history in NO that isn’t easily accessible and Erin helped us realize that. I have a huge appreciation for the people and community Tremé + NO as a whole. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
